More Netflix Cartoons

Netflix knows a good thing when it sees one. And acts accordingly.

Netflix is adding to its growing slate of original preschool content with three new animated series for premiere in 2016 and 2017.

Word Party, Kazoops! and True & The Rainbow Kingdom join preschool original series Cirque du Soleil – Luna Petunia and Puffin Rock announced earlier this month. The new series feature elements of language acquisition, problem solving and critical thinking throughout each episode, according to Netflix. ...

DreamWorks employees tell us that Dragons: Race To The Edge had a big, big debut on Netflix. (The service doesn't reveal specific numbers, so when word is circulated that the rollout was "big," everybody has to extrapolate from the brief description.)

But Netflix knows what works and knows what doesn't. That might be one reason it keeps ordering up more animated shows.
