"Little Baby Bum Music Time"
Moonbug Entertainment has announced the launch of its Netflix preschool series "Little Baby Bum Music Time" and its corresponding new soundtrack, which will be available on all music streaming platforms. The Music Time series and soundtrack, which are the latest in a string of the franchise’s expansions including the recent launch of "Baby Sensory" content on YouTube (2M subscribers), the Audible podcast "Time to Dream", and a "Lullabies" music collection, are also supported by a fully re-imagined look and a new curriculum developed in partnership with educational non-profit organization Peeple.
"Little Baby Bum", Moonbug Entertainment’s first-ever franchise acquisition, has more than 95 million worldwide subscribers on YouTube and has generated more than two billion views across its content so far this year.
“Ten years ago, 'Little Baby Bum' broke the mold in kids’ entertainment and paved the way not only for Moonbug, but countless other brands as well. Throughout this time, the brand cultivated a loyal and passionate parent/child following by providing invaluable support during routine moments of the early stages of childhood. 'Little Baby Bum' is not about music, it is music, and with the 'Little Baby Bum Music Time' series and soundtrack, we are bringing a renewed evolution of the franchise to children and parents everywhere,” said Sylvia Scodro, General Manager for Little Baby Bum at Moonbug.
Last year, the brand completed a creative refresh including animation enhancements, a creative evolution of the characters, and new music. At the same time, the brand partnered with educational consultancy Peeple on the curriculum that now supports the Little Baby Bum franchise. Since then, the brand has seen 30% month-over-month growth across new content on YouTube. Dr Sally Smith, CEO of Peeple, said: “We have worked closely with Moonbug throughout the development and evolution of the 'Little Baby Bum' brand, to maintain the strong early learning benefits, and are excited to see the value the show can bring to parents and children around the world.”
