  • The BBC has picked up more than 1,000 English-dubbed episodes of Toei Animation’s One Piece to air on BBC Three (which caters to teens and young adults) and iPlayer in the UK. The Beeb will be the only UK channel offering the dubbed anime series about a crew of pirates on the hunt for a mythical treasure when it rolls out the episodes between September and December. 

 

  • Yoto, a manufacturer of audio players, has added all of the Harry Potter (pictured) audiobooks to its library. Yoto uses branded physical cards that play content when inserted into its audio players. These speaker-like devices for kids ages three and up are available in the UK, the US, Canada, the EU and Australia. Some of Yoto’s other licensed brands include Frozen, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and PAW Patrol. 

 

  • Cloudco Entertainment has partnered with US fast-casual food chain Noodles & Company, which will feature the Care Bears on its menu until September 9. Two new branded items—the Care Bears Besties Meal and Share Your Care Junior Meal—will be available at Noodles’ 450-plus locations. The Junior Meal includes a small Care Bears plush (while supplies last).
