The 21 x 90 second animated shorts made its international debut on Nelvana’s Treehouse Direct YouTube channel and will be featured on the YouTube Kids’ App homepage in all English speaking territories worldwide this month, says the company.
The animated shorts feature “upbeat original songs surrounding heartfelt themes such as family and friendship. Each video was created with today’s preschooler in mind, with the objective to provide quick and engaging content that introduces children to loveable characters such as pandas, dinosaurs, ponies and robots,” reads the press release.

These fun ‘slice of life’ stories and catchy tunes make for the ultimate snackable content for kids that we think parents will also enjoy,” said Athena Georgaklis, Nelvana’s head of development
