‘‘Kikoriki 3D: New Adventures’’ and ‘‘Pincode’’ will soon be available in Arabic on SVOD platform Noorplay

Riki-Group’s animated series ‘‘Kikoriki 3D: New Adventures’’ and ‘‘Pincode’’ will soon be available in Arabic on SVOD platform Noorplay.

The streaming service has acquired non-exclusive SVOD rights for Season 3 of “Kikoriki 3D: New Adventures” and Season 1 of “Pincode” for five years.  Both series, dubbed in Arabic, and aimed for children aged 4 to 12 will be available worldwide on the family-oriented platform, with the exception of Russia and other territories in the CIS region.

“Kikoriki 3D: New Adventures” (52 х 11) is an animated series created for a family audience, and several generations of kids have grown up watching it in Russia. Filled with kind humour, which children intuitively understand, it opens its subtle shades for adults.

“Pincode” is an edutainment spin-off of the popular ‘‘Kikoriki’’ series, engaging kids to explore the world of innovations, technology and discoveries.

Both series have previously been broadcasted in Arabic on various TV channels and platforms in the MENA region.

“We are excited to enter into the partnership with such a family-oriented platform as Noorplay, which shares our core values.  Both Kikoriki and Pincode were previously on air in the MENA region on TV, so we are now excited to move to the digital outreach for kids who speak Arabic all over the world,” comments Valeria Korotina, Head of International Business Development and Sales at Riki Group.

 ‘‘When building a kids content proposition from scratch, you look for premium and recognizable IP that children are familiar with, and that their parents are comfortable with. Kikoriki and Pincode excel in this category, and we’re thrilled to provide these beloved series to our users in the near future,’’ says İnanç Vardar, Chief Content and Business Officer of Noorplay.
