“We are delighted to welcome such a wide-range of fantastic new content to tonies this spring,” commented Liz Peters, head of portfolio UK & IR at tonies. “We’re proud to welcome the iconic Mr. Men Little Miss series to the Toniebox, as well as expanding our popular range of fairy tales, children’s classics and Disney favourites. We’re hugely excited about our new partnership with National Geographic Kids, which is set to inspire and ignite the explorer in every child.
“We’ve worked with some top voice over talent to record these audio productions, including Kathryn Drysdale, of recent Bridgerton fame and beloved British actress Kate Winslet. There’s something to excite and entertain every child this month at tonies.”
Silvia Figini, coo at Sanrio EMEA, India and Oceania and Mr Men Worldwide, added: We are happy to partner with tonies to see Mr. Men Little Miss stories transposed into a new educational, fun and innovative format. We are confident that the timeless iconicity of Roger Hargreaves’ stories, combined with this immediate and accessible technology, will thrill children and parents alike.”
