Disney Nabs Streaming Rights To ‘CoComelon’
ew it's real
buy rights to demonic cartoon
let property rot in obscurity
would be so based
i thought dreamworks was making a movie for it
OH NO! NOT MY HECKIN BABYSLOP!
Now Netflix can invest in Sesame Street's future while Disney can jangle Cocomelon in front of toddlers while they make a good Mickey Mouse cartoon.
Hope it happens.
Cocomelon on Disney Jr?
Good riddance
I ask this genuinely:
How are parents comfortable with themselves when they let their kids watch Cocomelon and YouTube Kids slop?
I know I'm a Anon Babble user and the furthest thing from being an authority on this sort of thing, but it's not hard to find something better for your 3 year old than this.
Parents are grown up teenagers mentally these days it seems
They don't care, anything that's guaranteed to shut the kids up for two hours is okay with them.
Millennial parents want to have a life instead of making a life.
Millennials be like 40, sill blaming their boomer parents for their troubles, meanwhile they're fucking up their kids in worse ways.
Cocoshit
Because a lot of parents aren't fit to be parents. The difference is back then public television actually picked up the slack by making entertainment that enriched kids. That was the explicit goal of Mr. Rogers and Jim Henson, to help these kids that would otherwise be at the mercy of predatory practices.
But now that streaming and internet has taken over, those childhood safe spaces are being bulldozed and replaced with brain rot.
My little sister is loud as fuck and constantly trying to break shit but we gave her a tablet a few hours ago and set it on Youtube Family or whatever it's called and she hasn't made a sound all day. She's quiet enough to where I can hear the cartoons playing and she's not making a sound. Why would this be any different than turning on Cartoon Network and her seeing the teen titans fart 24/7 and drink piss?
So instead of trying to resolve your sister’s emotional issues your parents plop her in front of Indian slop.
A+ Millennial parenting.
You sister is either going to end her life at 15, become a tranny or get addicted to drugs
You're exactly the fucking moron is talking about. YOU have the choice of what that child watches. Sesame Steeet, Schoolhouse Rock, or Mr. Rogers isn't fucking difficult to find, especially online. But instead of giving her something even remotely educational, you chose the path of no resistance and gave her programming that will literally damage her cognitive skills in the long run. Solely because that was less effort than the absolute bare minimum.
This is perfect example of why diminishing public television has been a disastrous misstep for society. Just know that when she outgrows this slop but still ends up a brain damaged brat, you have no one to blame but yourself.
Cocomellon
An Indian produced series.
An IP thats only popular in India, the middle east and third world countries in Africa that lack their own preschool content.
Means nothing, when Disney buys the streaming rights To Game Sack and/or LGR then it will be worth talking about.
Will be ignored in favor of Darkwing Duck and Bonkers, aka the shows people of all ages are actually subscribing to Disney+ for as been proven here.
Only watched in India, the middle east and third world countries in Africa, western children are watching old Disney Afternoon content and Disney content made when Walt was still alive.
And MeTV Toons since Frndly TV and Philo are higher then YouTube.
Only in India.
They're not, parents are not letting very young kids go near screens to avoid damaging their eye sight, in fact no screens until they're 5 and they just go straight to MeTV Toons anyway.
No, far from it.
Yes they do, otherwise MeTV Toons wouldn't exist.
Barney, not their parents, because millennials who were raised on Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street don't have these problems.
You need to give her a Switch, she will turn out better.
Zoomer parenting.
Millennial parenting is not letting your kid touch a screen until they're 5 years old to avoid damaging their eyesight.
This is far from quality programming. Lucrative, unfortunately, but it encourages poor behavior that will affect their audience's ability to consume media in the future.
Luckily only third worlders are watching Cocomelon as the first world will continue to watch Adventures of The Gummi Bears, DuckTales'87 and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh instead.
ah so it's whooping cough vs burger dogs then.
ok sure whatever.
Bluey is a Australian series.
guess which streaming service is that show on in the states
Why? Thats one of the worst preschool shows ever made.
It's remarkable just how much the world said "fuck you" to kids since the 90s ended.
No more kid-centric places like Discovery Zone, educational TV getting absolutely destroyed by a myriad of things, the internet being a totally unsafe place that they all have access to.
It's not really me saying "I had it better as a kid", because I'm grateful for a lot of modern advancements, but it feels like th whole world just collectively stopped caring about raising the next generations on anything resembling quality programming.
I wish it were so, but you're not fooling me. Disney+ apparently has awful parental controls.
The whole world stopped caring about the future. There is zero optimism about the world getting better. It's all doom and gloom. This cannot be sustainable for society.
I'm out of the loop on this. What makes cocomelon different from any other baby show?
Its one of the laziest baby shows in history.
It's intentionally produced to keep the attention of babies at all times. They'll edit episodes according to when the test audience looks away from the video.
India is now the 4th largest economy, Cocomellon is how they got so large.
en.wikipedia.org
Nick and CN still existed.
The parental controls exist to block adult content, not raw sewage.
Kids know to stay away from Cocomelon as they will just say "Thats what third worlders watch", and watch Darkwing Duck instead.
the internet being a totally unsafe place that they all have access to.
IMO, that's on the parents. The internet has never and will never be a child friendly zone; and it shouldn't be.
the internet being a totally unsafe place that they all have access to.
While true, the 2000s at least had the benefit of a post-Dot Com landscape where there were tons of sites that were safe for kids to be on. Every major cable channel suitable for kids had their own website, as well as stuff like Club Penguin, Toontown, and Funbrain, which hosted Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Poptropica.
Really it's the 2010s when everything started going to shit, when the tech industry started dominating daily life. Said industry stopped putting on the impression that they cared about anything but naked greed.
You're right but most kid game sites croaked. Now they can buy microtransactions out the ass in hollow apps masquerading as games or half assed, infantilizing drivel from nintendies
Not the case, Nintendo is not producing infantilizing drivel, Sony is the one that is producing infantilizing drivel.
Sony
producing games
Why pay for it here if it's already free on YouTube?
They have their own console and own a bunch of studios.
This is one of their characters (Kratos).
Convenience.
Cocomelon, a YouTube series owned by a UK studio, is an Indian-made show.
Brings up Game Sack and LGR out of nowhere.
Famicom had to appear in this thread.
But why Cocomelon, Disney?
But why Cocomelon, Disney?
Because its a massive hit. Because parents are idiots.
The UK has nothing to do with Cocomelon, it is as Indian as Curry and Cricket.
Normies watch Game Sack and LGR.
Because its a massive hit.
Yes, in India, the middle east and third world African countries, the first world avoids that shit.
Because parents are idiots.
Zoomers, millennials refuse to give their kid a screen until they're 5 years old to avoid damaging their eyesight and the screen they do end up getting is a Switch, strictly.
I'm technically saying it because Disney acquired the rights to another franchise from the same studio as Cocomelon and they barely promote that one. Not to mention the fact that the series got shafted to only air on Disney Jr (channel to be exact) made it worse. I don't know how they can treat something big like Cocomelon.
Just a short-term profit machine to keep the lights on, and it frees up Netflix funding to keep Sesame Street on its toes.

It's only streaming on the Indian branch of Disney+ to replace cricket matches.

In India, not outside of India.
I'm talking about pic related Famicom, not Cocomelon. Apparently, a CGI slop Morphle cartoon aired on Disney Jr, but not on the block, only the channel. Morphle is also owned by Moonbug, the same studio as Cocomelon and is based in the UK. Where you get the information that Moonbug is an Indian company is beyond your little world.
Do they get money from the merch?
I don't know. In fact, this Morphle series merchandise is how I knew about it.
Hm. Cuz Cocomelon sells a shitload of toys, I imagine that might be a big factor.
Why the fuck don't you just put old sesame street or between the lions? Or even just some Tom and jerry
