When we launched this platform, we were very clear that we would be like a Netflix for kids, but free. “There are two attributes that distinguish Kartoon Channel! from them,” continued Heyward. “There are great platforms available today for kids, such as Netflix and Disney+, however, they are pay platforms.” “In a very short time, we have managed to create a groundswell of growth for our new Kartoon Channel!” added Kartoon Channel! executive chairman, Margaret Loesch. Kartoon Channel! is already significantly ahead of our plan.” “The multitude of parents downloading our app for their kids has skyrocketed in the first 24 hours with the app reaching in the Top 10 for kids, and climbing, while receiving thousands of 5-star ratings.
“We are thrilled that the viewing audience has discovered Kartoon Channel! so quickly!” commented Genius Brands chairman and CEO, Andy Heyward. BEVERLY HILLS – Following the June 15 launch of its new free digital Kartoon Channel!, across multiple AVOD and OTT platforms, Genius Brands International has announced its first iOS launch with the debut of an all-new dedicated Kartoon Channel! app, available free on Apple iOS.
