The agreement will also include Fanboy & Chum Chum and the Ninja Turtles, in addition to a package of anime-inspired content with movies including Avatar The Legend of Aang and The Legend of Korra.

"After verifying the success of kids' content on our platform, we want to keep increasing our programming for the youngest audiences, including a high quality and educational offer," said Josep Monleón from Wuaki.tv. "Streaming is transforming TV and we are very pleased to be delivering this content so parents and kids can enjoy it everywhere at any time."

Already available in Spain, the UK and France, the service will be also available in Germany and Italy before the end of the year. By 2016, the company plans to be operating in 11 countries in Europe.
