Signature Publishing and One Animation have inked a deal to launch a dedicated Oddbods-themed issue of Signature’s successful changing-theme magazine for pre-school children, ADVENTURES WITH.
Under the partnership, the ADVENTURES WITH Oddbods issue will go on sale in the UK beginning Feb. 10.
“We’re always looking for creative ways to bring the Oddbods characters to life for fans, and this partnership with Signature Publishing provides a perfect opportunity to achieve just that,” said One Animation CEO Sashim Parmanand. “Signature Publishing has effectively captured the Oddbods’ spirit and created a really fun and engaging magazine, which we know is going to be a huge hit with our fans.”
One Animation’s Oddbods is a global phenomenon, airing in 180 countries across 90 broadcasters worldwide. The brand has also generated 25 billion digital views and averages 14 million views on YouTube per day.
The magazine will follow the quirky but charming Oddbods on their adventures and will feature branded stories, puzzles, coloring and more. The magazine will also include a premium pizza set toy, which ties in with the magazine content and provides imaginative play value.
“We are so excited to be publishing ‘ADVENTURES WITH Oddbods’ magazine,” says Amanda Clifford, Signature Publishing’s Editorial Director. “The brand is so bright and colourful, celebrating individuality and friendships, and creating an Oddbods magazine has been an absolute joy. We’re sure it’s going to be a great success and bring laughter, learning and fun to every child who reads it.”
The three-time Emmy Award-nominated slap-stick comedy series follows the charming adventures of seven adorable, highly unique friends. Together, despite their differences, they survive the perils of everyday life, unintentionally turning ordinary situations into unexpected, extraordinary, and always humorous events.
