Da Vinci Kids Rebranded Last Year That's Why The Channel Has Been Loading Up On Fresh Content

A new kids’ content initiative rolled out in Asia, delivering learning in multiple formats and promising a positive, safe and ad-free environment for children across the region.

The move is part of a global expansion strategy, follows the consolidation of global educational assets – Da Vinci Media’s Da Vinci Kids and Azoomee – under newly formed holding company, Macademia.

Additional acquisitions are being planned in the continued drive to consolidate the EdTech and edutainment kids’ segments, says Macademia’s co-founder and chief operating officer, Estelle Lloyd.

Lloyd says the company’s mission is to “help parents raise exceptional humans”.

 

Macademia is best known for its selection of STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Art & Math) programming, including award-winning TV shows, documentaries and educational games for kids 4 to 12.

“Our mission is to unlock children’s full potential by igniting a passion for discovery and imagination through inspiring videos and games,” Lloyd adds.

A core part of the ambitious new plan, the latest iteration of Da Vinci Kids includes a completely revamped mobile streaming app, a library of educational games, as well as an upsized linear channel. Da Vinci Kids targets 6+ year olds and adults.

Sister platform, Azoomee, targeting kids below six years old, debuted in Asia. Globally, Azoomee is available in 125 countries through its partnership with Huawei, which bundles a one-year pre-paid Azoomee subscription with Huawei tablets.

 

Expanding Da Vinci Kids’ content has been a key focus of the new strategic direction, Lloyd says, adding that topics range from science, technology and nature to history and arts, among others.

Recent video series acquired included "The Fixies", "Darwin & Newts" and "A Week to Beat the World", which is exclusive to Da Vinci Kids. These join titles such as "Operation Ouch", "Science Max", "Pin Code" and "Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch".

“Our goal is to provide a variety in content mix and an alternative to the pure entertainment and ratings-driven channels that occupy the vast majority of the kids and documentaries channel landscape,” Lloyd adds.

Linear remains a crucial part of the bundle.

“Da Vinci Kids delivers a content curation strategy focused on range, diversity and quality. We are providing a meaningful viewing experience to kids and families, which we know is very important to parents,” Lloyd says.

 

Between them, Da Vinci Kids and Azoomee are distributed to a global audience of 60m kids and families on 550+ pay-TV and streaming platforms, telcos and OEMs. In addition to Huawei, partners include Vodafone, Telefonica/O2, MultiChoice, Apple, Sky, Roku and Amazon.

Moving forward, Macademia plans to ramp up its investment in original productions and games, building upon segments such as Marvelous Makes (arts and crafts), Search It Up (digital literacy) and Tech Will Save Us (technology).

“As much as we want children to have fun, to be carefree and happy, we also want them to develop into curious and critical thinking people, to open their minds to new ideas,” Lloyd says, adding: “We are going to be there for them.”

Trollstopia Launches On e.tv Through The Craze Block + eToonz Series The Deep Will Also Be Available On Da Vinci Kids Africa

Poppy returns for a second prequel based on the Trolls franchise

Craze, e.tv's children's block featuring a selection of animation and live-action series alongside movies will be adding yet another DreamWorks Animation production to their lineup in the coming weeks, Trollstopia.

Eager to befriend the new Troll Tribes, Poppy invites ambassadors to visit Troll Village with the hopes that they can live in harmony in a brand new TrollsTopia. But as the Rock Trolls prove to be a bigger challenge, Poppy must find a way to get everyone on the same page.

Trollstopia is based on comedy musical film Trolls which got its own prequel Trolls: The Beats Goes On formerly seen on e.tv and the sequel Trolls World Tour. A third feature film is currently in development and scheduled to be released in 2023.

Trollstopia replaces The Epic Tales Of Captain Underpants on Thursdays at 15:30 from 17 March.

More eToonz is coming to DStv

eToonz is set to go off air by the end of March on DStv as MultiChoice listed the DreamWorks Channel as its successor from March 18th on a different package and channel number.

As mentioned, eToonz makes up 80% NBCUniversal which includes DreamWorks Animation meaning the content currently seen on linear DreamWorks are familiar with viewers. The problem only drops down to that 20%.

The percentage consisted of series such as Power Rangers (Cartoon Network), Pokemon, Peppa Pig (Nick Jr.) and Thomas And Friends (CBeebies). Part of that percentage as indicated has outlets and it looks like more channels will be consuming that 20%.

Da Vinci Kids apparently picked up the rights to the animated series, The Deep which follows a family of adventurous underwater explorers who live aboard a state-of-the-art submarine. While eToonz goes off air this month viewers have to wait another two months from now to see it.
