UAE based AppyKids, which is renowned for creating culturally-relevant ‘edutainment’ content for children, have partnered with icflix, the Middle East and North Africa’s leading internet streaming service.
The partnership will aim to introduce The Adventures of Zee to a whole new audience. The series aimed at children age 7 and below, follows the adventures of Zee, a bright young Arab girl with a passion for exploration and discovery who is influenced by the great Arab explorer, Ibn Battuta.
Growl Media CEO Dinesh Lalvani said: “Zee has a fantastic spirit of adventure and our partnership with icflix is a great adventure for us. We care passionately about our audience, creating quality content that parents trust and are happy to allow their children watch.”
“The series explores universal themes such as teamwork, cultural tolerance and climate change in fun and engaging ways, with original Arabic and English songs,” he added.
Season one of The Adventures of Zee is available on icflix and also through the dedicated icflix kids application available on all Android devices.
“Children will enjoy watching Zee, which will not only help them learn Arabic but also give them an insight into Arab culture,” said icflix CEO Carlos Tibi, CEO.
“As there is also a large expat population across the region, there is an English language version available, which will appeal to all nationalities,” he further added.
