TORONTO — Kids entertainment company Spin Master today saw its new animated preschool series Mighty Express launch on Netflix, marking the first series from its Spin Master Entertainment production division to go straight to a streaming platform.
The Mighty Express series is animated by Thunderbird Entertainment’s Vancouver-based animation studio Atomic Cartoons, and is created and executive produced by Keith Chapman, the creator behind global mega-franchises including PAW Patrol and Bob The Builder. The series is also executive produced by Spin Master Entertainment’s executive vice-president Jennifer Dodge and Spin Master’s co-founder and co-CEO Ronnen Harary.
“Spin Master Entertainment excels at developing evergreen global properties through compelling story telling and engaging characters that resonate with audiences,” said Dodge, in the company’s press release. “From the importance of friendship and teamwork, to boosting kids’ confidence in their own attributes and abilities, the Mighty Express series is a fun place for children to laugh and learn alongside the characters in the show. We are so excited for families to discover our first Netflix original series and we look forward to developing more content for the platform in the future.”
The Mighty Express franchise is wholly owned by Spin Master. The company will retain the rights to distribution of the series (outside of SVOD) including licensing of consumer products and a toy line set to launch in 2021.
