TORONTO, December 5, 2019 - Corus Entertainment's Nelvana, a world-leading international producer and distributor of children's animated and live action content, today announced the launch of its first original musical shorts series, Toon Bops. The 21 x 90 second animated shorts made its international debut on Nelvana's Treehouse Direct YouTube channel and will be featured on the YouTube Kids' App homepage in all English-speaking territories worldwide this month.

Building on preschoolers' love of music, the animated shorts feature upbeat original songs surrounding heartfelt themes such as family and friendship. Each video was created with today's preschooler in mind, with the objective to provide quick and engaging content that introduces children to loveable characters such as pandas, dinosaurs, ponies and robots.

We are extremely excited to be launching our Toon Bops musical short series on YouTube, said Athena Georgaklis, Head of Development, Nelvana. The concept to develop original musical shorts was an in-house collaboration based on trends we were noticing across Nelvana's content online. These fun slice of life' stories and catchy tunes make for the ultimate snackable content for kids that we think parents will also enjoy.
