Moonbug's "Blippi" to release Wimblendon episodes

Game, set, and match: everything is set for Moonbug Entertainment's character "Blippi" to visit The Championships, Wimbledon in two brand new episodes. This summer UK fans will see Blippi ignite children’s curiosity as he takes on another playful adventure, this time on British soil, exploring how the team at Wimbledon prepare for the world-famous Grand Slam. Known for unlocking the wonders of the world for preschoolers, from backyard science, to dinosaurs, outer space and now tennis, "Blippi" sees more than one billion monthly views, via 20 languages across the globe.

The special episodes feature Blippi getting straight to work at the All England Club; from brushing up on his tennis skills on the pristine grass courts, to shadowing the ground staff, and visiting the commentary box, no racquet or tennis ball is left unturned as children get set to experience an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at The Championships, Wimbledon - the world’s oldest tennis event. 

Katelynn Heil, General Manager Blippi at Moonbug Entertainment Ltd highlighted the cultural significance of this prestigious event: “Wimbledon is an iconic British moment watched by the world, and we’re excited to see Blippi celebrate it with UK fans for the first time. These episodes are packed with courtside fun while exploring the teamwork and sportsmanship that define tennis. We can't wait for children to watch the episodes and hope they inspire families across the country to pick up a tennis racquet this summer!," commented.

Usama Al-Qassab, Marketing & Commercial Director for Wimbledon considers it a bid for the new generation:“We are always looking at ways to attract and engage Wimbledon’s next generation. These episodes combine the excitement and fun of Blippi’s adventures with the magical world of Wimbledon, giving a behind-the-scenes look of The Championships and inspiring young fans. We hope children around the world watching will learn more about the different roles and areas onsite that make Wimbledon so unique, and one day come and visit SW19 for themselves," noted.
