PARTNERSHIP SEES HOPSTER’S EDUCATIONAL PRESCHOOL SHOWS LAUNCH ON ROMANIA’S LARGEST VIDEO-ON-DEMAND SERVICE
London, 23 March 2023 – Sandbox Kids, the leading provider of digital subscription content services for children and families worldwide, has announced that it has launched with Romanian subscription video on demand service, AntenaPLAY. The newly signed deal sees Hopster’s preschool focused learning shows made available to AntenaPLAY subscribers, offering children’s animation on the service for the first time.
All tied into a bespoke early learning curriculum, Hopster’s hand-picked shows were selected to offer fun learning opportunities, support traditional academic skills, promote socio-emotional development and unleash kids’ creativity. The first batch of content launching on AntenaPLAY will include:
- Clever Brenda – An original animation by Hopster that follows the story of Brenda as she explains to children basic but essential concepts such as how recycling and the water cycle works, and how our bodies function.
- Louie – A creativity show featuring Louie and his little helper, Yoko, as they teach kids how to create their own masterpieces following the pair’s easy step-by-step tutorials.
- Sunny Bunnies Get Busy – A craft show that inspires kids with fun activities and easy-to-follow instructions so they can get busy and create their own art.
- Pocoyo Nursery Rhymes – Music videos featuring the popular characters, Pocoyo and his friends, as they teach children fun songs and classic nursery rhymes.
Miki Chojnacka, General Manager of Sandbox Kids, says: “We’re thrilled to be offering our beloved animations and learning shows to kids in Romania via AntenaPLAY. Our mission is to bring to little ones worldwide wholesome entertainment that is safe and educational as well as lots of fun creative opportunities. We’re especially excited that we’ll be the first content partner that offers children’s animations and look forward to adding more videos to the service soon.”
