Tippi T-Rex Launches in China With A Multi-Platform Rollout and Licensing Deals

by

Spanish animation company Ánima Kitchent in partnership with Indonesia’s Mocca Studio has launched its preschool IP Tippi T-Rex in China through a wide-ranging digital rollout alongside a strategic consumer products agreement with 24 Bridges a subsidiary of Beijing based Bridges Culture Transmission Co. Ltd.

The launch builds on a previously announced distribution deal that grants 24 Bridges exclusive rights in China to 52 x 5-minute episodes of the 2D series together with 4 songs and 14 x 3.5-minute shorts.  The agreement was brokered by Barcelona based kids and family content distributor GoldBee.

Tippi T-Rex has now officially premiered in China marking a major step in its international rollout.  The first eight episodes, part of an initial 26 x 5-minute episode slate, launched in late April, with two new episodes scheduled for release twice weekly (Wednesdays and Fridays).  The series is rolling out across an extensive network of digital platforms including Youku, Tencent, iQIYI, Sohu, Xiaomi, Konka, FunTV, Baidu Smart Screen, Hisense, TCL, Coocaa, Huawei, NutTV, XGIMI, vivo, Migu, Wasu, LeTV, as well as various regional IPTV and DVB services.  The distribution strategy combines one free episode with full subscription-based access.

Following the successful registration of the Tippi T-Rex trademarks, 24 Bridges has been appointed as the master licensee for consumer products in China.  The initial three-year period will cover fast-to-market categories such as food & beverage, publishing and plush toys, alongside high-impact extensions including stage shows, gaming apps, theme parks and promotion.  Core ROI categories will include toys, luggage, tableware and everyday consumer products.

The rollout in China reflects Ánima Kitchent’s digital first data-driven strategy.  Originally launched through short-form testing on YouTube, the IP has since expanded into a slate of   26 x 5-minute episodes, with an additional 26 currently in production, co-produced with
Mocca Studio.

With its distinctive blend of lovable characters, educational themes and imaginative storytelling, Tippi T-Rex continues to resonate with preschool audiences.  The expansion into China across both content and consumer products, represents a significant step in establishing itself as a leading global preschool brand.
