LOS ANGELES: Ben and Izzy, an animated series from Rubicon Group, will premiere this month on Kidobi.com, a website featuring preschool programming for American and Canadian audiences.

RGH Entertainment’s Ben and Izzy, an animated action-adventure comedy in 3D, tells the story of two young boys—one from the U.S. and the other from Jordan—who time travel to parts of ancient Africa and the Middle East.

The show has already enjoyed airtime on Cartoon Network Arabia as well as on Qatar Airlines and Emirates flights.
 
“It is exciting to be extending the reach of this wonderful series to new regions of the world,” said Randa Ayoubi, the CEO of Rubicon Group Holding. “Kidobi’s safe, kid-friendly portal provides a great platform to share Ben and Izzy’s many adventures in the MENA region with children across the globe in North America.”
 
Eric Sorenson, the director of research and content at Kibodi, commented: “We are thrilled to be featuring Ben and Izzy at Kidobi.com. It is a program we have been following since it came into the marketplace as a pilot because of its unique story line that explores foreign cultures. Ben and Izzy is an important new addition to our programming lineup for kids in the U.S. and Canada.”
