Amazon buys kids package from FremantleMedia

Amazon has acquired a package of seven kids and family titles from FremantleMedia for its Prime Instant Video streaming service.

The SVOD player has bought Kate & Mim-Mim (pictured), children’s series Team Toon, Alien Dawn, Really Me, The Aquabats Supershow! And Monsuno from FremantleMedia Kids & Family Entertainment.

It has also taken animated family feature The BFG – Big Friendly Giant, based on the eponymous Roald Dahl kids novel.

The shows will be available on Amazon’s UK service. Some have already launched with others to follow. It is the first time FremantleMedia Kids & Family Entertainment has struck a deal for a package of kids series with Amazon.

Joss Duffield, vice president, distribution and sales FremantleMedia Kids & Family Entertainment, said: “This new Amazon Prime Instant Video deal provides a fantastic opportunity to introduce Amazon Prime’s UK viewers to this great line up of titles and for familiar fans to catch up with their favourite shows.”
