TORONTO and NEW YORK – Corus’ Nelvana Enterprises has struck a partnership with Oznoz, the new American online channel for bilingual kids.
Over 400 half-hour episodes of Nelvana’s properties will be available to U.S. consumers later this month in Arabic, Hindi, Mandarin, Japanese, French, German and Korean exclusively on Oznoz, increasing the platform’s total offering to more than 2,000 hours of entertainment. Nelvana said that popular titles such as Babar, Franklin, Beyblade, Bakugan, Scaredy Squirrel, and Ruby Gloom are included in the deal.
This is the first time Nelvana’s library will be available to U.S. audiences in so many languages. Oznoz allows customers to sample new releases by viewing the first episode for free. Shows can be streamed or downloaded for offline viewing via the Oznoz video app for iOS and Android.
“We’re thrilled to be part of the top notch lineup on Oznoz”, said Colin Bohm, Vice President, Head of Corus Kids, in the news release. “Kids and families in the U.S. will now have access to a multilingual library of beloved Nelvana series that are already enjoyed in many territories around the world.”
Nelvana joins fellow kids content providers Sesame Street and HIT Entertainment which have also signed multi-year exclusive deals with Oznoz.
