Zoonicorn, the multi-platform animated preschool brand from Zoonicorn LLC and Toonz Media Group, which is on a roll with a host of streaming platforms across the world, is set to release the Zoonicorn CGI series in August.
The 52×7 series is completing production at Toonz and has already been picked up by NBCU’s OTT platform Peacock (USA) as well as Kidoodle (USA), Astro (Malaysia), TrueCorp (Thailand), La Teletuya (Venezuela), and Viu (Hong Kong).

With our North American partner All Art Licensing, headed by J’net Smith, we also attended Licensing Expo at Las Vegas this year, from where we got tremendous response.”
