Animotion Inks Deal with YoBoHo New Media

Animotion Media Group has signed a worldwide streaming deal with YoBoHo New Media for its flagship preschool series Tina & Tony and BabyRiki.

“Projects like Tina & Tony and BabyRiki are built to make children smile while helping them grow, and YoBoHo’s global reach lets us share that joy in more homes than ever,” said Julia Nikolaeva, general manager of Animotion. “We can’t wait for families to discover these worlds and the lovable characters who live in them.”

Hitendra Merchant, CEO and director of YoBoHo, commented, “Tina & Tony and BabyRiki bring something truly special to our lineup—stories that spark imagination, teach with warmth and stay with kids long after the screen turns off. We couldn’t be happier to share them with families worldwide.”

Tina & Tony follows a baby hippo and baby elephant, and each episode guides preschoolers through everyday challenges, emotions and friendships.

BabyRiki sees toy-like characters come to life and explore simple situations and emotions familiar to young children. It helps children develop communication, creativity and problem-solving skills.
