Ottawa, CA - Bejuba!, the boutique executive production and distribution company,
has announced the acquisition of worldwide television rights for “The Polos” the (52 x
5’/26 X 11”) exciting preschool hybrid series created by MarcoPolo Learning.
“The Polos” follows a quirky group of friends who take off on epic adventure to
experience the wonder of the natural world. Led by Marco, and driven by their sense of
adventure, the crew explores the furthest reaches of the planet and beyond.
The STEM curriculum series also promotes positive social skills and teamwork. “The
Polos” is based on the award-winning apps from MarcoPolo Learning which has had
over 10 million users in 150+ countries and is part of a bigger brand that is quickly
becoming a significant part of the curriculum for younger kids.
In addition to the TV series, there are short-form videos and an app featuring "The
Polos" that are used in over 3,000 classrooms across the US and in 250 schools across
Canada through the largest childcare chain, Kids & Company. Over 100,000 families
have access to the series through the schools' app content, and this number is growing
quickly. The series was produced by MarcoPolo Learning and Boatrocker Studios, and
the learning app has won many awards including multiple Parents Choice Awards, A
Rockies Award, Common Sense Media, and has been nominated for an International
Emmy.
Justin Hsu, the founder of the MarcoPolo Learning, said, “I think the value here is that
it’s very credible educator/school approved content. All our content is co-scripted by an
educator with a doctorate in early childhood education. The pace at which schools
across North America are embracing our brand, proves that what we are making is
resonating with preschoolers and early elementary students”.
“The Polos” is trusted by schools across the US, including in states such as Florida,
California, Texas, Alabama, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Montana, and Hawaii, with a
concentration in those states. The show is used in some of the largest childcare chains,
including Kids & Co, Lightbridge Academy, and Kama’aina.
“We are thrilled to add “The Polos” to our roster of exceptional children’s programming”,
said Tatiana Kober, CEO of Bejuba!. "With broadcasters looking to secure brands that
are known and trusted by parents and loved by kids, we feel the series has a lot of legs.
The show’s educational content, coupled with exciting storytelling makes it a perfect fit
for us. We are excited to be bringing this show to audiences worldwide”. “The Polos” marks the latest addition to Bejuba!’s growing portfolio of top-quality children’s content, which includes the hit pre-school animated series “Jeremy and Jazzy”, “Wishfart” and “The Hive” among others.
