WildBrain Spark

Sign in to edit


Template:Wildbrain evolution WildBrain Family International Limited, operating as WildBrain Spark (formerly WildBrain), is a British multi-channel network owned by Canadian media company Wildbrain (formerly DHX Media). It distributes and produces preschool and children's video content for YouTube and other digital platforms. The division officially launched in 2016; it reuses trademarks associated with Wildbrain Entertainment, an animation studio that had been acquired by DHX.[1] It maintains offices in London.

The division is responsible for distributing pre-existing material and creating original animated and live-action shorts based on properties owned by its parent company and partners. WildBrain Spark also manages the YouTube presence for a number of external brands and businesses, including Beyblade Burst, Cyber Group Studios, BRB Internacional, Benesse, Larva, Moomins, Playmobil, The Smurfs, NBCUniversal, and Warner Bros. Discovery, among others.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

In September 2019, DHX Media changed its name to WildBrain, citing strong brand recognition stemming from the MCN. Concurrently, the MCN was renamed WildBrain Spark.[8]
