Moonbug Entertainment looks to further cement position with Little Angel acquisition

Moonbug Entertainment has further cemented its position as a leader in kids’ entertainment, acquiring Little Angel, one of the fastest growing kids channels on YouTube.

The Little Angel network – which houses Little Angel and Little World – boasts more than 88 million subscribers on YouTube globally. Since 2019, the brand has seen its global viewership double.

Moonbug is now planning to grow Little Angel exponentially by investing in content, expanding distribution to its global network and creating more ways for audiences to engage with the brand.

“Little Angel is loved by families across the globe,” commented Renè Rechtman, co-founder and ceo at Moonbug Entertainment. “Its irreverent humor and relatable world make it a strong addition to our IP portfolio.

“There continues to be a tremendous demand for great value-based kids’ content that connects with a global audience, and this acquisition represents an important opportunity for us to build another global entertainment franchise.”

Little Angel has a library of over 400 original songs and over 500 animated episodes. Educational specialists weigh-in to ensure all content is centered around valuable preschool lessons like learning letters, numbers, good manners, and healthy habits in an age-appropriate and entertaining way.

Little Angel is Moonbug’s first acquisition since becoming part of Candle Media.

Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs, co-chairmen and co-ceos at Candle Media, commented: “Little Angel is a perfect addition to Moonbug and this acquisition underscores our commitment to investing in the continued growth and success of the companies and brands within Candle.”
