True and the Rainbow Kingdom is produced by animation powerhouse Guru Studio and has a  timely and important message that empowers children to be mindful, compassionate and respectful of all living things.

With over four seasons currently streaming on Netflix worldwide, the series has become a ratings hit around the world. Now a top performer across linear networks including CBC Kids in Canada and Tiny Pop in the UK, the demand for the hit preschool series continues to grow.  On AVOD platforms such as YouTube and YouTube Kids, True and the Rainbow Kingdom has amassed a sizeable audience with over 525 million views and over 2.7 billion minutes watched. The show’s GIPHY page now boasts over 4 billion views.
