Barney & FriendsAngelina Ballerina and Camp Lakebottom are leaping over to the North American AVOD platform.

We are thrilled to share that the New York-based distributor and streaming network Filmrise has secured a non-exclusive deal with 9 Story Distribution International for three of our popular kids series.

Headed to the North American AVOD platform are Barney & Friends (seasons 10 – 14), Angelina Ballerina (seasons 1 – 4), and Camp Lakebottom (seasons 1 – 3), a grand total of 184 episodes.

Featuring the beloved and iconic purple dinosaur, the preschool show Barney & Friends originally aired on PBS in 1992 and ran until 2010. Angelina Ballerina, meanwhile, had an eight-year run from 2001 to 2009. The British animated preschool series originally aired as a 2D show but got a CGI makeover in 2009.

Finally, our animated comedy Camp Lakebottom premiered in 2013 on Teletoon Canada and Disney XD in the US. It was then acquired by Disney Channels (LatAm, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Benelux, MEA and Japan), ABC TV (Australia), Super RTL (Germany) and Canal+ Family (France and Africa).

Filmrise entered the kids distribution space last year and has secured deals with Nelvana and kid-skewing YouTubers via a partnership with talent agency Night Media.
