With the YouTube Kids app out this week, Mattel will develop a new slate of programming for the platform from its preschool content division, HIT Entertainment. HIT will release 52 three-minute original Thomas & Friends digital videos to premiere every week for the next year on its YT channel and on YouTube Kids.

Creative Galaxy is from Blue’s Clues creator Angela C. Santomero and Blue Enterprises; Emmy-nominated JJ Johnson (Dino Dan) and Sinking Ship Entertainment created Annedroids; Gortimer is executive produced by Oscar winner Luke Matheny; and SNL and Community animator Drew Hodges is behind Tumble Leaf. Most recently, Amazon greenlit kids’ series Just Add Magic and The Stinky & Dirty Show for its next season of pilots.

So what does it mean? “The Oscars are often referred to as the Super Bowl for women because advertising spots start at $2 million,” Stat Social’s Audrey Hungerman told Cynopsis. “Samsung and American Express saw an increase in mentions on Sunday, with Twitter users loving Amex’s use of Mindy Kaling and Aretha Franklin. Dove launched the #SpeakBeautiful campaign with more than 40,000 mentions of the brand on Oscar day. The audience was mainly female (64 percent) and socially savvy; Twitter, Instagram and YouTube were among their favorite brands.” The top five advertisers were determined by Kantar Media. Check out the infographic at www.cynopsis.com.
