There hasn't been a Pac-Man show since the 80s, a new one is long overdue. :P But I think it existing is just because Namco wants to make the character popular again -- they already have a tie-in game to the show in development too.

And Disney has nothing to do with the series; it's just being aired on XD in America. It's being produced by another company and is even being aired on separate channels in the UK, France, and Australia.
