Toonz Entertainment has signed three new partnerships to add titles to its catalog, including Everything’s Rosie, as it gears up for MIPCOM.

Toonz Entertainment acquired exclusive distribution rights for Everything’s Rosie from V&S Entertainment. This comprises 104 episodes of 11 minutes each for LatAm, Iberia, the U.S. and Canada across TV, VOD, internet and all videogram rights.

Vickie Corner, CEO at V&S Entertainment and creator of Everything’s Rosie, said: “We’re very proud to be collaborating with Toonz Media on Everything’s Rosie. Kids love consuming large amounts of content, but parents look for quality, too, something that will interest and intrigue their little ones, inspiring them to be good role models and promoting kindness and friendship. Everything’s Rosie embodies these qualities offering preschool children the chance to enjoy wholesome age-appropriate stories while learning important life skills. We’re excited for Toonz to bring Rosie to a wider multi-language audience, in addition to the 170 territories where the show already has a footprint.”

Toonz Entertainment also scored distribution rights for Bubble Bath Bay from Pop Family Entertainment. The deal covers worldwide rights, excluding Australia, New Zealand and Japan, across TV, VOD platforms, theatrical and in-flight.

Carmel Travers, CEO and executive producer at Pop Family Entertainment, said: “Pop Family is thrilled to be working with Toonz Media on Bubble Bath Bay. Our production partners, Telegael Ireland and Lemon Sky Malaysia, have produced a beautiful series that celebrates early childhood friendship, learning and fun in the coastal world of Bubble Bath Bay, inspired by one of the most beautiful harbors in the world. We look forward to expanding on the brand as Toonz Media takes the series out to a global audience.”

Toonz has partnered with GoldieBlox to distribute the live-action GoldieBlox series titled: “Hack Along with Goldie Blox,” “The Goldie Squad Show,” “Toy Hackers,” “Curiosity Kitchen,” “Curiosity Camp,” “Camp GoldieBlox,” “Goldie Bots,” “Fast Forward Girls” and “Draw Her Life.” The live-action series will be 3 to 11 minutes per episode and is available in English and all languages of the territory worldwide.

Bruno Zarka, president of distribution, syndication and the feature films division of Toonz Media Group, commented: “We are thrilled to launch these amazing shows from some of the best in the industry like Pop Family Entertainment, V&S Entertainment and GoldieBlox for MIPCOM this year. It is with great pleasure that we are announcing that we will be representing their shows for distribution in different markets.”
