Azoomee has been steadily growing its catalogue in the past few months. Last year, it picked up all three seasons of live-action educational series Do You Know? (75 x 15 minutes) and 50 x 11-minute animated series Addison from Toronto-based distributor Portfolio Entertainment . It followed that up by snagging the 3D-animated series Dr. Panda (39 x seven-minutes) from Dublin-based 9 Story Distribution International, and 2D-animated series Urban Tails (52 x two minutes) from Irish distributor Monster Entertainment. The SVOD also expanded its reach by partnering with smart TV-focused distributor Foxxum to launch on connected TV sets from manufacturers including Vestel, Panasonic, Toshiba Polaroid and Hitachi, with plans to roll out to Apple TV, Samsung and LG in the future.
