Smighties Rolls Out on YouTube & YouTube Kids

Herotainment and Toonz Media Group’s new original animated series Smighties is launching as a global feature on YouTube and YouTube Kids today.

Smighties is a 39×7-minute comedy-adventure series about small and mighty heroes from a magical land. The show premieres exclusively on YouTube and is available through the YouTube Kids app. The first three episodes, which debut today, can be found on the Smighties YouTube channel. Smighties will initially be available in English, French and Spanish, with several other languages soon to follow.

Featuring the Super Six Smighties—Zip, Zap, Nardy, Melody, Leila and Dude—the series will introduce more than 130 unique Smighties from five regions. The heroes protect the Smighty Stones, magical gems that when combined create an unstoppable force. The show is written by an Emmy Award-winning writing team of seven whose credits include Duck Tales, Winnie the Pooh, Secret Millionaires Club, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Angry Birds Toons, Super Wings and more.
