Get into the soccer spirit with Angry Birds! Rovio Entertainment and YouTube have teamed up to create an animated online video series aimed to get kids excited about playing soccer. Now available via the YouTube Kids app just as this summer's World Cup action is heating up, Angry Birds: BirLd Cup is a mix of live action and animation starring characters from the Angry Birds video game alongside some of the world's top soccer players.
The YouTube Kids app will be featuring Angry Birds: BirLd Cup along with other soccer themed content under a special homepage tab through July 16. As the soccer teams representing countries from around the globe assemble to compete in Russia for the World Cup, the Angry Birds are hosting a competition of their own. In the BirLd Cup, teams of kids are joined by Everton Football Club's superstar players Wayne Rooney, Tom Davies and Dominic Calvert-Lewin alongside Turkish international sensation Cenk Tosun in a series of fun and competitive soccer challenges. Cheer on your favorite team while learning some new soccer tricks for yourself through watching this fun kid-centric video series.

The YouTube Kids app is FREE to use and was designed to provide a way for parents to ensure children are watching age appropriate content when it comes to YouTube videos through filtering and blocking what can be seen. The app also makes it easier for children to find videos on topics they want to explore while helping mom and dad keep track of what their kids are viewing. It is available on Google Play for Android devices and the App Store for Apple.
My kids had a good time watching an advance showing of the first two episodes of YouTube Red's quirky new animated children's series FRUIT NINJA: FRENZY FORCE which debuts on Friday, May 5, 2017. They giggled through an episode that featured the series' main characters, a bunch of heroic kid ninjas, combat humanoid monsters magically shaped from watermelons and a variety of other fruits. They were quite focused on the action in the wacky second episode where the fruit ninjas had to battle an alien that looked quite like a lightening bug who was trying to take over the Earth through distributing his own diabolical version of soda. This show is a perfect fit for any child who enjoys goofy cartoons.
Based upon the popular Fruit Ninja gaming app that has achieved more than one billion mobile device downloads, the 13-episode series features fruit-themed characters that will be familiar to game players. Available on YouTube and the YouTube Kids app exclusively for YouTube Red paid subscribers, the show introduces four young ninjas -- Seb, Niya, Peng, and Ralph -- who have been training to unlock the ancient secrets of Juice-Jitsu. They unassumingly run a juice stand as a front for their secret ninja dojo. When a time portal suddenly opens, transporting a 1,000 year old ninja named Durian Grey into the modern world, the four young ninjas must confront him and a cast of evil characters who have pledged to wipe the Fruit Ninja clan from the face of the Earth once and for all.
The
series is produced by Halfbrick Studios, the original creator of the
Fruit Ninja game, in partnership with Toonz Entertainment and Kickstart
Productions.
