Moonbug Entertainment

Making its debut on the production shortlist, Moonbug Entertainment generated significant growth in 2021 that culminated in its November acquisition by a yet-to-be-named media company backed by former Disney execs Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs. The prodco expanded its production slate to 24 series—up from 16 in 2020—including linear and SVOD spinoffs of its popular CoComelon, Blippi, Little Baby Bum and Morphle YouTube brands. It also launched MyGo, a YouTube channel featuring American Sign Language videos of top Moonbug IPs. And it produced 164 episodes for MyGo, which is averaging more than 96 million monthly views and upwards of 100 million minutes of watch time.
