The show, available in five languages, has a following of 5 million subscribers and has received more than 3.7 billion views.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to <em>Gecko&#8217;s Garage<\/em>, the Toddler Fun Learning deal brings to Moonbug <em>Dr. Poppy\u2019s Pet Rescue<\/em>. Moonbug\u2019s roster of content already includes the preschool hit <em>Little Baby Bum<\/em>, which the company acquired last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>My Magic Pet Morphle<\/em> is an incredibly popular pre-school show with devoted fans and millions of subscribers\u2014we carefully selected the beloved brand by analyzing proprietary data that detailed the show\u2019s potential for growth,\u201d said Alfie Chubb, head of mergers and acquisitions of Moonbug. \u201cWith these acquisitions, we will continue to drive rapid growth and further diversify Moonbug\u2019s kids&#8217; slate of content.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth <em>My Magic Pet Morphle<\/em> and <em>Gecko\u2019s Garage<\/em> are kids\u2019 shows adored the world over,\u201d said Ren\u00e9 Rechtman, co-founder and CEO of Moonbug. \u201cBoth shows are extraordinarily produced and have demonstrated high viewership and engagement from their dedicated following. We have the potential to grow these high-opportunity kids\u2019 properties into global entertainment brands\u2014and we look forward to doing just that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very much aligned with Moonbug in our aim to help children develop creativity, empathy, and resilience, through storytelling and imagination,\u201d said Arthur van Merwijk, creator of <em>My Magic Pet Morphle<\/em>. \u201cFrom the moment we started <em>My Magic Pet Morphle<\/em> just three years ago, we saw each of our now 5 million subscribers not as numbers in our analytics but as our main characters Mila\u2019s and Morphle&#8217;s play-friends. With the Moonbug team\u2019s wealth of expertise in digital media and entertainment, we\u2019re looking forward to seeing the brand scale as we continue producing high-quality animation that kids love.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moonbug has acquired My Magic Pet Morphle and Toddler Fun Learning, including Gecko&#8217;s Garage, which has been viewed for more than 1 billion minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":15831,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[4225],"class_list":["post-15830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-moonbug","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
