Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Moonbug Entertainment are teaming up on a series of digital episodes that bring together Blippi and the iconic The Grinch and The Cat in the Hat.
It’s a crossover event that combines two of the most popular children’s brands on YouTube today.
Dr. Seuss relaunched its YouTube channel in 2024 as a family co-viewing destination, in tandem with Little Dot Studios, which also produced the Dr. Seuss x Blippi episodes.
Over the ensuing year, the Dr. Seuss Enterprises has grown viewership at a staggering pace. So far this year the channel has generated 82.4 million views, gaining 735.5K subscribers in 2025 alone.
The Blippi channel continues to be one of the most-watched preschool destinations on YouTube globally, averaging over 2 billion monthly views and reaching more than 100 million subscribers across all channels.
Mike Katzman, General Manager of Blippi at Moonbug Entertainment, said the combination of the two brands brings something special to fans.
“We love the Dr. Seuss universe because it has this incredible multi-generational affection that few brands in family entertainment can match,” Katzman said. “Pairing that timeless world with Blippi’s global fandom and digital reach creates something really special.
“Dr. Seuss has been an amazing partner, and this collaboration is a great example of how our characters can spark curiosity, play, and co-viewing for families everywhere.”
The collaboration features four unique episodes. The first two focused on Blippi and The Grinch, and premiered on the Blippi and Dr. Seuss YouTube channels on December 19.
The second set of episodes, starring The Cat in The Hat with Blippi and Meekah, will feature a birthday theme and debut in late February in the lead up to Dr. Seuss’s birthday celebration on March 2.
This collaboration with Blippi also marks the first ever collaboration for the Dr. Seuss YouTube channel.
“Blippi has become such a beloved presence for kids and families, and we saw a wonderful opportunity to create something truly magical by bringing his joyful world together with our iconic characters, The Grinch and The Cat in the Hat,” said Joie Yale, Entertainment Manager at Dr. Seuss Enterprises. “We’re excited to share this special crossover and can’t wait to bring even more smiles, laughter, and memorable moments to families everywhere.”
The drops on the Blippi and Dr. Seuss YouTube Channels will differ from each other, so fans can watch a unique episode on each of the channels for both The Grinch collaboration later this month and The Cat In The Hat Collaboration debuting early next year.
The four crossover episodes include ‘The Grinch and Blippi Make Gingerbread Houses!’, airing on the Dr. Seuss channel, in which Blippi drops by the Grinch’s cave with one mission: to bring him lots and LOTS of Christmas cheer!
The second episode on the Blippi channel is ‘Silly Christmas Games with Blippi and the Grinch’.
When Blippi visits the Grinch’s cave, his green friend isn’t feeling very cheerful. With fun games, silly surprises, and imaginative play, Blippi shows The Grinch that spending time with friends is what makes the Christmas season extra special.
Coming up on February 27 on the Blippi YouTube Channel is ‘Blippi Meets The Cat in the Hat’.
When Blippi’s volcano fizzles and Meekah’s toy car won’t fly, help comes from an unexpected place! The Cat in the Hat arrives just in the nick of time to help the friends get their projects ready for the science fair.
On the same day the Dr. Seuss channel will debut ‘The Cat in the Hat’s Birthday Surprise with Blippi’. The story features the The Cat in The Hat’s big birthday bash, in which Blippi and Meekah arrive convinced they’re springing a surprise. Instead, they’re the ones in for a twist as The Cat in the Hat has cooked up a whimsical birthday scavenger hunt just for them.
