LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A global leader in children’s entertainment, MGA Entertainment (MGA), and its subsidiary MGA Zapf Creation GmbH, a leading nurturing dolls manufacturer, together announce season two of BABY born the animated series, which premiered Friday, August 23. After 33 years and close to 27 million dolls sold worldwide, BABY born is proud to be in its second season. For the millions of viewers who loved the exciting adventures of season one, which followed BABY born characters Emma, Teddy, and their friends, the new season will introduce preschoolers and toddlers to an all-new character, songs, and nursery rhymes for even more educational, heart-felt fun.
An easy viewing experience perfect for the whole family, season two features a total of 18 episodes, each five minutes long. Kids can sing along to 13 new original songs, including “We Entertained You” and “Creaky, Squeaky, Spooky Fun,” and five nursery rhymes, like “The ABCs.” Plus, viewers will delight in meeting Baby Annabell, the latest baby on the block who joins the colorful, fantastical make-believe world of BABY born.
“BABY born goes beyond the doll to be a constant companion in children’s everyday lives through the world of entertainment,” said Anne Parducci, MGA Entertainment’s Chief Content Officer. “Inspiring imaginative play, empathy, and creativity, BABY born dolls are kids’ babies, best friends and favorite show all in one!”
Based on the real-life dolls and teddy bear, the popular characters master new everyday challenges, immerse themselves in an imaginative world and learn a lesson or two about everyday life. Real life babies cannot do much, but in the world of BABY born they can do everything the big kids can do and more. Why? Because they play make-believe! Emma brings her stuffed bear, Teddy, and her duck on wheels, Berta, to life in her imagination and experiences the most exciting adventures with them and her friends. Watch as they play make-believe school, scavenger hunts, trick-or-treating, and even flying to the clouds! But with big adventures also come big challenges. Every new episode brings social and emotional struggles to overcome, teamwork, building friendships, and tons of fun!
Baby born dolls and accessories are available now in the U.S. at select Target, Walmart, Amazon, and MGA Shop, as well as major retailers internationally.
