UAE-based kids content specialist TwelveP Animation has signed a raft of international YouTube content distribution deals across its own and third-party slate, as well as growing its own network of channels.
In Canada, Epic Story World has secured digital rights for its channels in English, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese to Claymotions, an animated preschool show that cover themes such as numbers, animals, music, vehicles and plants.
In further YouTube sales deals, India-based Yoboho New Media has licensed animated musical preschool series Rockoons for distribution on its global network of digital channels. The deal for Rockoons follows hot on the heels of an agreement with El Reino Infantil, the top Latin American YouTube Network, to stream the two‑season preschool musical series on its hubs in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
In the Middle East, TwelveP has partnered with Fixitoons on launching the animated preschool show Orange Moo Cow (pictured) on YouTube.

As the content business evolves, this component will become even more key for distribution, so we are well placed to offer crucial expertise in omni-platform sales to grow IP globally.”
