Do your kids love CoComelon and Blippi? Of course they do. And no wonder: these irresistible kids’ shows hail from the same entertainment company: Moonbug. And now, there’s a new arrival in the Moonbug family: Minibods! These six furry friends have just launched their own YouTube channel, bringing tons of laughter and adventure to your preschooler’s screen time.
What is Minibods?
Minibods is a non-dialogue, slapstick comedy series that’s perfect for preschoolers. You won’t have to worry about inappropriate language or jokes, as these characters don’t use any words at all! Instead, your little ones will giggle at the silly situations the Minibods get themselves into and how they overcome obstacles in unconventional ways.
Where do they come from?
These new characters are a spin-off of the globally popular Oddbods series, which has nearly 30 million YouTube subscribers across its various dedicated channels. The Minibods show writers include BAFTA and Emmy Award winner Adam Redfern, BAFTA nominee and British Animation Award winner Dave Ingham, Jo Clegg, and James Phelan. These talented writers know how to make kids laugh and learn simultaneously.
Who are the characters?
In Minibods, your child will recognize five familiar faces from Oddbods: Bubbles, Jeff, Newt, Pogo, and Fuse. But there’s a new addition to the group as well: Lulu! Each episode follows these lovable characters as they go on adventures and face kid-relatable obstacles.
What will kids learn?
Your little ones will learn about social-emotional skills, embracing individuality, and celebrating differences through Minibods. Because the characters naturally model positive behaviors, your preschooler will absorb the lessons of each episode through “accidental learning.”
Moonbug CEO René Rechtman explains, “At Moonbug, we strive to bring together humor, entertainment, and learning as we create characters, stories, and worlds that captivate and resonate with kids across the globe. We are excited to expand on the world of Oddbods with the new fantastical world of Minibods and reach audiences with the same imaginative universe and new loveable characters.”
Where can my kids watch Minibods?
You can watch the first episode of Minibods right now on their YouTube channel. The series will feature 39 seven-minute episodes, with one new episode released every Saturday. So, tune in with your little ones to watch the Minibods have fun, make friends, and embrace their individuality!
