In a major shake-up for the kids' entertainment world, popular cartoon series CoComelon is transitioning from Netflix to Disney+. The show's huge popularity has many bracing themselves for a major shift in the streaming giant's roster. The transaction also follows as Disney+ expands its library of family-centric programming and cements its status as a destination platform for families.

CoComelon, the property of Moonbug Entertainment, is now a global phenomenon with its sing-a-long nursery rhymes, colorful animation, and learning-based themes. Since its debut on Netflix, the show has been among the most-watched children's shows, delighting millions of preschoolers and their families across the world. The Disney+ move is set to bring the series to an even broader audience with Disney's vast reach and marketing prowess.

Important points of the announcement are:

All existing seasons of CoComelon, along with upcoming new seasons and specials, will be streaming exclusively on Disney+ starting this summer.

The deal is part of an expanded content partnership between Moonbug Entertainment and Disney, which sees further collaborations on the horizon.

CoComelon will be winding down from Netflix over the coming months, giving subscribers time to adjust.

Disney+ will feature CoComelon prominently in its kids' section, which will include other high-end kids' programming.

The announcement signals the fierce fight among streaming giants to acquire must-have family programming. As CoComelon joins Disney+, kids and parents alike will be able to enjoy easy access to their most-loved sing-alongs and stories in a fresh home on the web.
