Kartoon Studios announced its most ambitious project in the history of the company, Kartoon Studios' "Winnie-the-Pooh." Plans include an animated holiday movie, five holiday specials, and a four year/104 episode series, to premiere on Amazon Prime Video, via Kartoon Channel!'s subscription service on the platform. Concurrently, Alliance Entertainment will debut new merchandise through a nationwide retail program, in conjunction with Kartoon Studios rollout of a global consumer products campaign. Kartoon Studios' "W Winn-the-Pooh" is based on the designs and stories of one of the most successful brands of all time, A.A. Milne's "Winnie-the- Pooh," a property that has generated over $80 billion in sales over the last four decades and is estimated to currently generate $3-$6 billion per year for The Walt Disney Company.

Pre-production has already begun on the animated holiday movie, set to premiere December 24, 2025, on Amazon Prime Video, through Kartoon Channel!'s $3.99/month subscription distribution agreement with them. Concurrently, the global retail program will kick off with the debut of products featuring an array of special features, distributed through Alliance Entertainment Corporation. Kartoon Studios' " Winnie-the-Pooh" animated content is being developed with a unique 'yarn- based' design and palette for the characters and backgrounds, along with original modern stories inspired by Milne's beloved classic books.

The beautifully imagined yarn gives the characters a depth and warmth. The series is being financed through Joint Venture Production financing of $30 million provided by WTP SPV 1, a subsidiary of Catalyst Venture Partners. An all-star array of award-winning talent across development, production, marketing, consumer products, and distribution has been assembled to manage the brand launch, and are excited to be a part of what are confident will be a hugely profitable and enduring business.
