Boomerang Africa rebrands to Cartoonito Africa from 25 March

Watch the introduction to Cartoonito Africa here Boomerang Africa becomes Cartoonito Africa in English-speaking African countries on 25 March – with the best of Boomerang alongside exciting new shows filled with more laughs, more adventures and more friends. There’s still plenty of room for long-time Boomerang favourites like Zig & Sharko, Mr Bean, Masha and the Bear, Tom & Jerry, Scooby-Doo and Looney Tunes Cartoons to shine alongside newer friends such as Dino Ranch, Thomas and Friends: All Engines Go and Lucas the Spider. Cartoonito brings them together – while adding brand-new shows like Batwheels, Bugs Bunny Builders and Interstellar Ella – just for starters – offering a wider variety of programmes filled with new friends, trusted fun and extraordinary adventures for the whole family to enjoy. “The rebrand of Boomerang Africa into Cartoonito Africa enriches our channel universe, bringing together the crème de la crème of Boomerang with more adventures and more friends to be part of ONE big Cartoonito family!” says Ana Gonzalez, Editorial Lead: Southern Europe and Africa, Kids Brands, Warner Bros. Discovery. “We know kids and families love our shows, and we’re looking forward to adding even more amazing content that brings the whole family together.” Georginah Machiridza, MultiChoice Executive Head of General Entertainment Channels, adds, “We’ve had a long-standing partnership with Boomerang and Warner Bros. Discovery, and we’re excited to carry the rebranded channel for our audiences in Africa. We know that the new Cartoonito channel will bring our DStv customers even more value and more kids’ entertainment.” Leading the rebranded channel is an exciting special – Secret Origins of the Batwheels – which kicks off at 08:40 CAT on 25 March. Batwheels is an action-adventure show that combines two of kids’ favourite things – superheroes and vehicles! The show revolves around a fun, dynamic team of super-powered vehicles and the obstacles these characters encounter as they battle the bad guys. This heroic and fresh gateway to Gotham City teaches that teamwork is an integral part of play that will help save the day. A 32-minute special, Secret Origins of the Batwheels, sees the Batcomputer forced to bring the Bat-Vehicles to life when Batman, Robin and Batgirl are all captured. The newly-minted Batwheels must defend the Batcave and face off with the Legion of Zoom – all without Batman’s help! The Batwheels series will then run every weekend at 08:40 CAT. Bugs Bunny Builders follows Bugs and Lola as they manage a crew of builders at ACME Construction Company who really shouldn’t be anywhere near a construction site! However, by working together as a team, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety and others use their tools and wild vehicles to pull off some of the looniest construction jobs ever! Bugs Bunny Builders premieres on Monday, 10 April, at 16:45 CAT and will run Mondays to Fridays at the same time. In Interstellar Ella, the year is 3021. The place is the Milky Way, where eight-year-old Ella gleefully heads out with her friends on exciting adventures of discovery. At only eight, she already knows quite a bit about space … but there is always more to explore! With her besties Slippy and Madhu, Ella navigates the challenges that come her way. Things may not always work out the way she plans, but Ella never lets that get in the way of interstellar fun. Interstellar Ella premieres in June 2023. Cartoonito Africa – home to your favourite characters filled with more laughs, more adventure and more friends – will be distributed in linear on all the same channels – DStv (channel 302), GOtv (channel 68) (channel 155 in Ghana and channel 357 in Uganda), AzamTV (channel 227) and Canal+ Ethiopia (Channel 127).

New Moonbug Kids Channel promises fun-filled, wholesome entertainment to complement any family routine! A specially curated Moonbug Kids Channel is now available to DStv subscribers across Africa. The YouTube-focused pre-school entertainment company Moonbug Entertainment confirmed plans to launch the channel on DStv in October. The channel will feature exclusive, linear, preschool content from the Moonbug portfolio of much-loved shows. The agreement highlights DStv’s shift in mindset about digital-first content (content that was only available on digital platforms, like YouTube first). Other Moonbug linear Kids Channels have already launched in other territories across MENA and in APAC in The Philippines or Malaysia. “Digital-first content is entering traditional channels and reaching new audiences. . The quality and appeal of these shows has vastly improved over the past few years. Platforms like ours recognize these shows’ benefits in adding value to our customers. .” Explained Georginah Machiridza, Executive Head of Content Strategy and Third-Party Channels at MultiChoice Group. The Moonbug Kids channel will be available to 21.7 million DStv subscribers across 45 African countries and will air in English. All Moonbug shows will be featured on the channel including CoComelon, Blippi, Gecko’s Garage, Morphle, Arpo, and recent acquisitions such as Little Angel and Oddbods. “This an incredibly significant deal for us and part of our wider strategy to roll out Moonbug Kids channels on pay-TV platforms across EMEA and APAC,” Moonbug EMEA and APAC managing director Nicolas Eglau said. “Launching a premium, advertising-free, linear channel with DStv is one key advantage of our digital-first approach. It enables us to structure the channel by applying our in-depth knowledge of children’s viewing, including when and how they engage with content.” Eglau continued. Moonbug Entertainment is creating the channel with a dedicated 24/7 programming schedule. It will feature engaging entertainment that not only pacifies but supports children’s development. The schedule will also support families with their daily routines such as mealtimes, playtime, bath time, bedtime, and more. “MultiChoice are very selective about the kind of channel that gets on the platform, so for us being on MultiChoice is almost like a quality stamp of approval,” Eglau concluded. Moonbug shows promote healthy values like compassion, empathy, and resilience to kids around the world. “We’re all parents. Moonbug was started by parents for parents. And as such we want to create great entertainment for kids all around the world – which kids will love – and their parents will love that they love.” Ditte Lucas, Head of Brand at Moonbug added. The ad-free, premium offering is available on MultiChoice Africa platforms (DStv and GOtv) from 20 October 2022.

Brace yourself for Minions: Rise of Gru

The untold story of one 12-year-old’s dream to become the world’s greatest supervillain. In the heart of the 1970s, amid a flurry of feathered hair and flared jeans, Gru is growing up in the suburbs. A fanboy of a supervillain supergroup known as the Vicious 6, Gru hatches a plan to become evil enough to join them. Luckily, he gets some mayhem-making backup from his loyal followers, the Minions. Together, Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto—a new Minion sporting braces and a desperate need to please—deploy their skills as they and Gru build their first lair, experiment with their first weapons and pull off their first missions. When the Vicious 6 oust their leader, legendary fighter Wild Knuckles, Gru interviews to become their newest member. It doesn’t go well (to say the least), and only gets worse after Gru outsmarts them and suddenly finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. On the run, Gru will turn to an unlikely source for guidance, Wild Knuckles himself, and discover that even bad guys need a little help from their friends. Based on (characters) by Cinco Paul.
