About Spacetoon
SpaceToon is an integrated media group involved in TV, Radio, licensing, merchandising, online and interactive products, with operations now extended to Indonesia, Korea and India. It possesses the rights to the largest library of Arabic dubbed animated cartoons in the Arab world. In addition to the extensive global animation collection, SpaceToon's in-house studios produce proprietary cartoon programs that increase awareness of the outside world - the environment, education, health, and family values. Organizations such as the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) use Spacetoon television as a medium to deliver important public service announcements to the emerging young generation.
SpaceToon is committed to encouraging enlightened ideas and ethical values all over the globe. We strive to encourage learning appreciation and expression consistent with the interests and understanding of young people at all levels of learning. SpaceToon TV is dedicated to:
• Cultivate the minds of the viewers to utmost capacity • Become familiar with their cultural heritage • Strive for excellence in creative expression in all fields of learning, literature, and art • Enlarge students' concern for and understanding of today's world • Help build a society dedicated to the highest quality of life in community and nation The Group’s flagship Channel, SpaceToon Kids TV transmits to over 130 million viewers in 22 countries throughout the Middle East and North Africa, 7 days a week, 16 hours a day. It is the most viewed channel in the kids’ genre in that region. (Source: IPSOS Research Study).
Apart from Arabic, the Group launched and English language channel, in 2005 that broadcasts in the Middle East and North Africa, and a channel dedicated to teens. SpaceToon now operates channels in English, Indonesian, Korean and Hindi.
SpaceToon Production has produced a 52 episode educational TV series called “Data City”. SpaceToon owns the licensing rights to some of the hottest brand names in children's characters, including the well-loved Let’s & Go.
SpaceToon was the first channel in the world to categorize its programs into ten “planets” on the basis of suitability for a particular audience in a solar system of ten planets (Action, Adventure, Bon Bon, Comedy, Education, Girls, History, Movie, Science and Sports). This concept is protected by license.
In publishing, the SpaceToon Kids Magazine encourages them to learn about the world around them. Cartoon characters from TV programs guide kids through each section of the magazine, helping them to learn through fun. SpaceToon Girls Magazine is the only magazine entirely dedicated to young girls. The magazine is packed with craft activities, health & beauty issues, along with stories from the "Girls Planet" TV programs. Over 200,000 copies of Spacetoon Kids Magazine are printed every month and are distributed throughout the region. Spacetoon “Girl’s” Magazine has a monthly print run of 50,000 copies.
The company produced a “Mini Theater” which plays in the major cities of the GCC countries. The productions are based on animated cartoons such as “Popeye”, “Pink Panther”, “Detective Conan” etc. SpaceToon also developed the “Think & Play” concept, which allows kids to take part in activities such as the Let’s & Go racing event (which attracted over 140,000 paying competitors in Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Egypt).
Another project on the anvil is the development of unique kids shopping concept – a store that provides a stimulating and fun environment, which mirrors the SpaceToon planets. The store will offer a wide range of products for kids up to 17 years of age and will also provide such facilities as a themed Internet café, dining areas, kid's theater, party rooms, VIP room and home deliveries.
SpaceToon business footprint covers the Middle East, North Africa, Indonesia, Korea, Hong Kong, Canada, Japan, and India.
SpaceToon is also known for too-much censoring especially when compared to other Arabic networks like MBC 3.
