The subscription video-on-demand service has picked up six series and one animated special from FMKFE’s portfolio, totalling around 68 hours of programming.

The agreement includes rights to Kate & Mim-Mim (52×11’), children’s series Team Toon (26×30’), Alien Dawn (26×30’), Really Me (two seasons, 26×30’), The Aquabats Supershow! (13×30’) and Monsuno (three seasons, 65×11’); and the animated family feature The BFG – Big Friendly Giant (1×88’).

Kate & Mim-Mim made its debut on CBeebies in the UK last summer and was picked up by Super RTL in Germany. It also airs on BBC Kids and the Knowledge Network in Canada.

Aimed at children aged 2-5, the CGI series follows the adventures of a little girl and her toy rabbit as they travel to a fantasy world. Created by husband-and-wife team Scott and Julie Stewart, it was produced and developed by Nerd Corps Entertainment.
