Hoho Entertainment Launches Bubblebox Kids’ App

Hoho Entertainment has launched its own dedicated app for kids, Bubblebox, featuring four of the indie producer’s most popular titles.

Featuring Cloudbabies, Shane the Chef and S4C properties Hana’s Helpline and Chickpea & Friends, the child-targeted app will offer on-demand viewing of episodes plus a mix of interactive games and activities based on the shows.

The app is initially available on the Apple store in multiple territories. Content will be in English but will expand to service other languages soon.

Hoho’s partner in the creation of the app is German company Wonderz.

Helen Howells, joint managing director of Hoho, said: “Launching Bubblebox, our first proprietary children’s content app, is the next step in our long-term digital strategy.”

Harriet Jones, head of digital and retail at Hoho, added: “Now kids will be able to engage with our shows whenever they like, wherever they are. The app’s appealing mix of content, from full episodes to fun songs and other activities, will enable them to connect even more closely with their favorite shows and characters.”

Sebastian Wehner, CEO of Wonderz, commented: “It is a real pleasure to work with Hoho Entertainment and enable them to craft a branded app that corresponds perfectly to their delightful IPs and helps them to deliver their engaging content directly to their audience.”
