Netflix added, “We want to create a safe and trusted space where your children can relax, play, learn, and explore alongside their favorite characters. This goes beyond our shows to our easy-to-use parental controls like pin protection and the kids activity recap to help caregivers make the right decisions for their families.”
“As a father to a four-year-old son and two-year-old daughter, I love seeing the world through my children’s eyes and sharing new experiences together. Sometimes that means having a dance party or solving a puzzle. Sometimes it means curling up together to watch their favorite new show,” said John Derderian, Vice President of Netflix Animated Series. “My kids are particularly drawn to the limitless ability of animation to conjure worlds that defy reality, while introducing characters that feel as real as they are. So I can’t wait to see which of our new series and characters capture their hearts, and the hearts of our young viewers around the world, next.”
