LOS ANGELES, June 3, 2021 -- Moonbug Entertainment Ltd., one of the largest digital media companies in the world, and Amazon Kids+ are working together to create, produce and distribute fun, entertaining and educational content for kids starring characters families know and love. The first joint project includes an original production of 'Arpo Robot Babysitter', based on the hit YouTube show 'Arpo', premiering exclusively on Amazon Kids+, and a new Arpo mobile game.
