    Toons will have exclusive distribution rights of 104 episodes of Everything’s Rosie (for Latam, Iberia, US, and Canada) and 52 episodes of Bubble Bath Bay (excluding Australia, New Zealand and Japan).

    Everything’s Rosie is a top-rated HD CGI animation for preschool children, promoting social, emotional, cognitive, and physical educational values that encourage learning through play. Aimed at girls and boys aged 3-6 years, the series follows the adventures of little girl Rosie and her friends Will, Holly, Big Bear, Oakley, the ancient Oak Tree and Raggles, the blue rabbit.

    Everything’s Rosie creator and V&S Entertainment CEO Vickie Corner commented, “We’re very proud to be collaborating with Toonz Media on Everything’s Rosie.  Kids love consuming large amounts of content, but parents look for quality, too; something that will interest and intrigue their little ones, inspiring them to be good role models and promoting kindness and friendship. Everything’s Rosie embodies these qualities, offering preschool children the chance to enjoy wholesome age-appropriate stories while learning important life skills. We’re excited for Toonz to bring Rosie to a wider multi-language audience, in addition to the 170 territories where the show already has a footprint.”

    Created by Gareth Eden-Styche, Bubble Bath Bay is produced in association with Shambles Entertainment. The brand-new 3D animated preschool series features best friends Sydney the Sailboat and Zip the Water Taxi. The preschool series shows how they learn to ride the waves alongside their fleet of friends in bustling Bubble Bath Bay.

    Pop Family Entertainment CEO & executive producer Carmel Travers said, “POP Family is thrilled to be working with Toonz Media on Bubble Bath Bay. Our production partners, Telegael Ireland and Lemon Sky Malaysia, have produced a beautiful series that celebrates early childhood friendship, learning and fun in the coastal world of Bubble Bath Bay, inspired by one of the most beautiful harbours in the world. We look forward to expanding on the brand as Toonz Media takes the series out to a global audience.”

    Toonz will run GoldieBlox live-action series for 3–11 minutes per episode and will be available in English and all languages of the territory worldwide.
