Our mission has always been to create storytelling that sparks genuine curiosity, and this partnership provides a secure, trusted platform for our IPs to inspire the next generation of young learners globally,” said Julia Nikolaeva, General Manager at Animotion Media Group.

ClickView gives educational producers a safe, trusted place to share their videos with schools and this month launched ‘channels’ a new way for producers like Animotion Media Group to distribute their content to schools. It’s a response to a growing shift away from YouTube in classrooms, as concerns about young people’s mental health, addictive algorithms, AI-generated content and data privacy lead schools to rethink where their videos come from. Instead of relying on ads, ClickView pays royalties directly to producers, so they can keep reaching classrooms and keep making videos for young learners.

“We’re delighted to be launching the Fixitoon collection to our teacher community this month. We’ve already had fantastic feedback from teachers who are now integrating episodes from The Fixies and DinoCity into their lessons to support engagement in STEM subjects,” said Rachel Dunne, ClickView’s Head of Marketing and Partnerships.

Through this partnership, Animotion Media Group and ClickView are bringing high-quality, engaging animation into the hearts of classrooms globally. By combining captivating storytelling with curriculum-aligned learning, the Fixitoon channel empowers educators with trusted, safe, and impactful digital resources that make learning an inspiring adventure for every student.

Under the partnership, Guangzhou Art-land will use its local market expertise and extensive industry network to identify and develop opportunities for The Fixies across consumer products, retail promotions and brand collaborations.

Animotion Media Group has entered into a strategic partnership with Guangzhou Art-land Holding Company Limited, one of the world’s leading brand licensing and IP management companies, to develop the licensing and merchandising programme for The Fixies across Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Under the partnership, Guangzhou Art-land will use its local market expertise and extensive industry network to identify and develop opportunities for The Fixies across consumer products, retail promotions and brand collaborations. The company will work with licensees, retailers and commercial partners to create locally relevant products and activations that reflect the franchise’s educational values and distinctive visual identity.

Guangzhou Art-land operates across brand licensing, multimedia, product development, location-based entertainment and IP investment and is recognised as one of the world’s leading licensing agencies. The company’s portfolio includes internationally recognised entertainment, lifestyle and cultural properties such as SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, Dora, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Barbapapa, The World of Eric Carle, MTV, Namito, Qee, ViViCat and Deer Squad, among others. The company is the only “China-based enterprise” in China listed for consecutive 5 years ranked No. 12 globally in License Global’s Top Global Licensing Agents report since 2022-2026.

The Fixies is the No. 1 edutainment content brand in China for children aged 4–8. Its stories follow tiny creatures who live inside machines and explain how technology, science and safety principles work. The brand has been present in China since 2015, with five seasons available across more than 30 platforms and services, including CCTV, Tencent Video, Youku, iQIYI, Mango TV and China Eastern Airlines’ inflight platform. It has generated over 17 billion VOD views in China, holds a Douban rating of up to 9.3 and ranks No. 1 on Tencent Video’s Learn Something New – Popular Science list for children’s content. Beyond the series, the franchise has expanded through audio stories, publishing, music, educational formats and live entertainment. Audio stories have generated more than 360 million streams on Ximalaya, while the first printed book collection sold approximately 10,000 sets during its first week. The first Chinese-language Fixies album is now available on leading music services, and a locally adapted live stage show is scheduled to premiere in Guangzhou in late 2026.

The first major industry appearance under the new partnership will take place at China Licensing Expo, held from 21 to 23 October 2026 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Guangzhou Art-land will represent The Fixies at Stand W1E01, introducing the brand’s expanded licensing programme to prospective licensees, retailers and commercial partners.

“China has been an important market for The Fixies for more than a decade, and the brand already has a strong foundation across content, publishing, music and live entertainment,” said Julia Nikolaeva, General Manager at Animotion Media Group. “Our partnership with Guangzhou Art-land is the next step in this development. Its licensing expertise, extensive partner network and understanding of the local consumer market will help us create high-quality collaborations that preserve the educational character of The Fixies while making the brand part of children’s and families’ everyday lives.”

“The Fixies combines engaging characters and storytelling with a strong STEM and educational foundation, giving the brand significant potential across consumer products and promotional partnerships,” said Dr. Eddie Ng, the President of Guangzhou Art-land. “We are pleased to work with Animotion Media Group and look forward to introducing new, locally relevant ways for audiences to experience the world of The Fixies.”

The partnership represents the next stage in the development of The Fixies in China, supporting its continued growth as a multidimensional educational and family content franchise.

The general manager of Animotion Media Group discussed the expansion of its flagship animated franchise in Latin America, following its arrival on TV Azteca. At Mipcom, the company is also introducing FixiLab, a live-action format based on the brand, while advancing the development of its new animated series Shooting Stars.

*with reporting by Carolina Mussio and Ana Paula Carreira from Cannes, France.

Animotion Media Group arrived at Mipcom 2026 with a catalog of more than ten children’s and family properties, alongside new projects in development and a strategy focused on extending its established franchises into different genres, formats and digital platforms.

“We brought a large catalog of kids’ and family IPs, with more than ten properties, as well as several projects in development. We also brought a live-action format based on one of our flagship properties,” Julia Nikolaeva, General Manager of Animotion Media Group, told ttv in Cannes.

“The Fixies is our number one project, with worldwide distribution. Based on that franchise, we created a live-action format that has already been produced in China and will soon launch in the Middle East,” she explained.

The company’s presence at Mipcom follows a series of international distribution agreements, including a partnership with La Panadería Licensing & Marketing to bring The Fixies to TV Azteca in Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras. The deal covers the first three seasons of the animated series in Spanish, with exclusive free-to-air rights and non-exclusive digital rights for La Panadería’s FVOD and AVOD platforms.

“The agreement with TV Azteca was something we’d been waiting for for a long time. The series premiered this week, during Mipcom, so we’re still waiting for the ratings, but we’re very optimistic about its potential,” Nikolaeva said.

The Fixies Finds New Audiences in Latin America

The Fixies, an educational animated franchise about tiny creatures living inside household appliances and electronic devices, has been reaching international audiences for more than a decade. Its stories combine humor and adventure with explanations of everyday technology and scientific concepts.

“We started noticing significant growth over the past year, particularly on our Spanish-language YouTube channels and social media. This year, our Spanish-language channel reached three million subscribers,” Nikolaeva highlighted.

“The Fixies has been in the market for more than ten years, in over 30 languages. What we’re starting to see now is that there’s already a generation that grew up with the brand. On social media, we’re reaching parents and young adults who grew up watching the show and still feel attached to it. In that sense, the brand is becoming evergreen for them.”

The executive pointed to the importance of adapting established content to social media and changing viewing habits.

“We’ve seen some very interesting examples of our content going viral. For instance, we published a video explaining mathematics and how to count using your fingers, and some Spanish-speaking content creators picked it up. It generated around 30 million views in just one week,” she said.

“That’s further proof that we need to focus more on Spanish-speaking audiences, especially Latin America. We’re analyzing our data and trying to create more tailored content, particularly short-form videos, because consumption habits differ from one territory to another. Shorts are extremely popular in Latin America, across different ages and genres.”

For Animotion, repackaging existing animation is also becoming a central part of its digital distribution and monetization strategy.

“I think it’s a must nowadays for children’s content. That’s the beauty of animation: children can watch it again and again, and it doesn’t get old. We already have several seasons and feature films of The Fixies, so we need to think about how to adapt that material for different markets.”

“Our audience also helps us do that. Through their comments, their involvement and the trends we see, we can rethink the content we already have. It’s a very useful marketing tool, but also a monetization opportunity,” she explained.

FixiLab Takes the Franchise Into Live Action

One of Animotion’s main presentations at Mipcom is FixiLab, a live-action educational entertainment format developed from the animated universe of The Fixies. The format recreates the franchise’s laboratory setting, bringing together a real-life professor, children dressed as Fixies and animated sequences to explore science and technology through experiments.

“The idea is very similar to our animated episodes. We’ve already covered around 250 topics in animation, from technology to gadgets and everyday devices, so we have a lot of material to work with,” Nikolaeva explained. “We’ve already produced one season of this format in China, and now we’re producing an Arabic version for the MENA region. We introduced FixiLab to our international catalog at Mipcom and have already received interest from other territories.”

“We have a real professor playing Professor Eugenius, children wearing Fixie costumes and a laboratory setting similar to the one in the animated series. They conduct experiments together. For example, an episode might explore how a washing machine works. The professor and the Fixies investigate, ask other children questions and try to find the answers.”

“We also incorporate animation to explain the theoretical side. It’s a very entertaining 15-minute format, and because it’s a television show, we can reach a slightly older audience, up to 12 or 14 years old.”

The initiative is part of a broader effort to extend the lifespan of established children’s properties by introducing new formats and age groups.

“When you have a successful, sustainable franchise, you need to think about expanding it into different genres and reaching different age groups. That’s what we’re doing with The Fixies,” Nikolaeva said. “Animation takes a long time to produce, while live action can be faster. A format like this can also travel internationally. Once you have a popular character, you need to think about what else that character can do and where else it can exist.”

“We treat our characters like stars, almost like real actors. We also have a podcast with The Fixies. In animation, bringing together characters from different universes can sometimes be complicated, but in audio, for example, you can have two characters from different shows meeting in a podcast and having a conversation,” she explained.

Shooting Stars Moves Forward in Development

Animotion is also advancing Shooting Stars, a new animated action-comedy series centered on a girls’ football team whose players acquire extraordinary superpowers. The 2D project, presented in the company’s catalog as a 22 x 11-minute series, combines sports, science fiction, friendship and the challenges of growing up.

“At last year’s Mipcom, we were looking for the right partners for Shooting Stars, including animation studios and potential media partners. I think that during this Mipcom, we’ve finally found the studios we were looking for. We hope to announce more details soon,” Nikolaeva revealed.

“Coproduction has become essential. Platforms tend to prioritize spin-offs and projects based on existing successful properties, whether they’re books, series or films. When you’re developing a new IP, you have to bring together different partners and understand where and how the content will be distributed before the project can move forward. Putting all those pieces together takes time.”

In Shooting Stars, a girls’ football team gains superpowers after a mysterious meteor strikes their playing field. Their new abilities reflect their personalities and personal challenges, while the players must confront monsters threatening their city.

“It’s about a girls’ football team with superpowers, and those powers are connected to the problems they face growing up. For example, a girl who tends to run away from her problems becomes incredibly fast,” Nikolaeva explained. “It’s a story about friendship and relationships with parents, but at the same time, the girls have to save their city from monsters. We’re still keeping our focus on safe, family-friendly entertainment, while exploring new stories and audiences.”

The new release adds to the music catalog developed around The Fixies, which previously included titles such as Sing with the Fixies and Fixie Beats.

Animotion Media Group is expanding The Fixies universe with the global launch of Fixie Ditties, a new English-language studio album that broadens the franchise’s content strategy into music and multiplatform experiences.

The album features 11 original songs aimed at children and is now available on platforms including Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music. The tracklist includes a new version of Ticky Tock, one of the franchise’s classic songs, alongside tracks inspired by science fiction and time travel concepts such as Time Machine, Teleporter and Chatbot.

The new release adds to the music catalog developed around The Fixies, which previously included titles such as Sing with the Fixies and Fixie Beats, further supporting Animotion’s strategy of extending the IP beyond its audiovisual content.

Built around the adventures of tiny creatures who live inside everyday machines and devices, The Fixies combines entertainment with educational content focused on science, technology and how devices work. According to Animotion, the franchise has 22 million subscribers across its social media channels and YouTube, as well as 16 billion YouTube views throughout its 15-year history.

“The launch of Fixie Ditties is an important milestone for The Fixies. Building on the success of our previous music releases, this new album gives young fans a high-energy soundtrack that expands the world of The Fixies while staying true to the classic songs that helped build the franchise,” said Oleg Troyanovsky, Head of Music at Animotion Media Group.

With the release, Animotion is also strengthening its position in the children’s content business and its strategy of exploiting IP across multiple platforms. The company is planning further international expansions, interactive content and upcoming music releases connected to its properties.

Animotion Media Group is an international production and distribution company headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, specializing in content for children, teens and families. The company also operates as a music label, distributor and licensing partner, with a catalog comprising more than 1,500 episodes and over 1,300 audio assets. Its portfolio includes brands such as The Fixies, BabyRiki and Finnick, with a presence across MENA, Asia, Europe and the Americas.

Leyao has secured the Chinese stage adaptation rights to the hit educational animated series The Fixies.

Leyao Culture Communication announced that it has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Animotion Media Group, a globally renowned animation content producer, securing the Chinese stage adaptation rights to the hit educational animated series The Fixies.

The production is scheduled to premiere in late 2026, marking an important step in Leyao Culture’s expansion into children’s live entertainment.

A World-Class IP: The Educational Value Behind 17 Billion Views

Since its debut in 2010, The Fixies has been broadcast in more than 150 countries and territories worldwide. Following its launch on CCTV Children’s Channel in 2015, the series surpassed 17 billion views across online platforms, establishing itself as one of today’s most influential children’s educational animation properties. Through imaginative adventures set in a microscopic world, the series weaves scientific concepts -including mechanical engineering and the principles of physics- into compelling stories and has earned the trust and affection of families around the globe.

This stage production marks the first time The Fixies IP will enter China’s live entertainment market. Drawing on its extensive expertise in theatrical production and operations, Leyao Culture will recreate iconic scenes from the animated series on stage while incorporating China’s technological development and best practices in children’s science education. Guided by the STEM theatre concept of “watch a show, take a science lesson,” the production will offer Chinese families an experience that combines scientific discovery with artistic value.

A Strategic International Partnership Advancing Cultural Exchange

Zeng Lei, Founder of Leyao Culture, said: “The Fixies is a benchmark production in the global animation industry. Its scientific foundation and educational value align closely with Leyao Culture’s mission of sharing knowledge through the performing arts. By combining international production standards with the local cultural context, we aim to create a high-quality stage production for Chinese families that is both entertaining and educational.”

Julia Nikolaeva, General Manager of Animotion Media Group, said: “The Fixies is popular in 150 countries around the world. We look forward to seeing Leyao Culture bring these vibrant stage stories to audiences in China and worldwide. Animotion will provide comprehensive support across IP licensing, creative collaboration and production technology to ensure that the show remains true to the spirit of the original and meets the highest international standards.”

International Creative Teams Join Forces to Open a New Path for Family Theatre

The production will be jointly developed by an international creative team. While remaining faithful to the world of the original series, the script will be locally adapted to reflect the developmental needs and experiences of Chinese children. Multiple interactive segments will encourage young audience members to solve scientific puzzles alongside the characters, nurturing curiosity, a spirit of exploration and a love of learning through live theatre.

From an industry perspective, The Fixies already has a strong audience base in China. Its distinctive combination of science education and animation gives it a clear point of difference in the family entertainment market. This partnership is not only an important example of adapting an international IP for China’s children’s theatre industry, but also opens a new channel for cross-cultural exchange, extending collaboration from screen content to the performing arts.

The production is currently in the early stages of preparation, with casting and stage design progressing in parallel. Tour cities and ticketing information will be announced through Leyao Culture’s official channels at a later date.
