Toonz Media Group based here and Gummybear International have announced the launch of the second season of their successful animated series 'Gummibar And Friends: The Gummy Bear Show.'
Toonz Media Group’s new non-dialogue comedy 'Boo Bah B' also launched exclusively on YouTube and the YouTube Kids app on November 30, consolidating the partnership with the platform.
'MOST VIEWED CHARACTER'
'Gummibar And Friends: The Gummy Bear Show' premiered on YouTube on June 24, 2016. 'The Surprise Egg,' the most watched episode of season one, alone generated more than 36 million views.
Overall, the first season received over 330 million views on the Gummybear International YouTube Network, the Gummibar-centric MCN.
With over 12.6 billion total views and over nine million subscribers, Gummibar is claimed to be the most viewed animated character on the Internet.
The comical little green bear has become a global entertainment phenomenon with CDs and DVDs released in 27 different languages in over 40 countries and a highly successful consumer products business.
The IP has grown in strength, too. The production and premiering of the second season is a result of the huge following the first season generated on the platform. Toonz’s distribution arm, Imira Entertainment, handles worldwide sales of The Gummy Bear Show series.
YOUTUBE CRUCIAL PARTNER
Jurgen Korduletsch, Founder, Gummybear International, said he was aware that fans have been eagerly awaiting new episodes. Lots of time and effort has gone into providing them high quality content.
Toonz’s new non-dialogue, slapstick comedy series 'Boo Bah B' is also premiering exclusively on YouTube and the YouTube kids app, and follows the exploits of Bah, a self-centred lion.
However, a little happy-go-lucky rabbit called Boo, and his alien best-friend, B, are anything but impressed, and they do everything to stop the boisterous lion in his tracks.
Toonz Media Group CEO P Jayakumar said that YouTube is a very important partner for Toonz, and the season one success of The Gummy Bear Show has enabled it along with Gummybear International, to produce this second season and premiere it exclusively on YouTube and YouTube Kids.
"It has also helped us launch entertaining new family-engaging shows like Boo Bah B which have a strong universal appeal.”
