MONTREAL – Kidsmania.ca is now offering more than 500 new online games, animated videos and comic strips for kids, in both English and French, through a new partnership between Bell Canada and Montreal-based Tribal Nova, a creator of safe virtual worlds for children.

Aimed at children aged 3 to 12, the updated kidsmania.ca site offers new features and enhanced functionality. The site’s content features popular characters such as Caillou, Boule & Bill, Doodlebops, Angela Anaconda, Digata Defenders, Franklin, and Toopy & Binoo (Toupie et Binou).

Kidsmania.ca’s kid-safe functionality means there are no pop-ups, distracting advertising or external links to unprotected URLs, ensuring kids have a secure and fun online experience. Kidsmania.ca also offers regular updates, multiplayer online gaming options and Mac compatibility. Families can create up to four personalized profiles per account.

“Developing the current kidsmania offering with Bell has allowed us to create a unique and compelling offering for children and parents across Canada,” said Tribal Nova CEO Pierre Lelann. “We’ve been able to leverage our expertise in online games and knowledge of the French market to deliver the best online children’s gaming experience.”
