LONDON, UK, May 12th, 2020 / Azoomee, the kids’ media company creating safe, positive screen time on all streaming platforms and mobile devices, has today signed a deal with ZDF Enterprises to bring Ziggy and the Zootram to its roster of shows.

This colourful 3D series for upper preschoolers is about a group of animals who live in a small zoo and who have a very special secret… they all travel to a remote island each night! Every time they head outside of the zoo, something unexpected happens that turns the journey into a hilarious adventure! Kids will love the comedy in the secret identities and surprising discoveries the animal friends make every time they leave the zoo. 

“This series role models friendship, self belief and resourcefulness as the animals support each other throughout their daily lives,” said Luca Fiore, Head of Content at Azoomee. “No matter what these characters face, they can get through it with teamwork and positive attitudes.” 

“Ziggy and the Zootram is such a sweet series! It is wonderful to see it launching on Azoomee,” said Katharina Pietzsch, Director of ZDFE Junior and ZDF Enterprises. “We are convinced that the fun adventures of Ziggy and his animal friends will entertain Azoomee’s audiences – both children as well as their families, and will brighten up their days.”   

Kids will be delighted by the double lives of Ziggy the Australian freshwater crocodile and his friends Miss Emily the elephant, Lionel the lion, and others, who put on clothes and talk when they stop pretending to be regular zoo animals. With episodes exploring themes like bravery, popularity, competition, confidence, perseverance and more, this show is as educational as it is entertaining. 

Season 1 of Ziggy and the Zootram is available alongside thousands of TV episodes, videos and tutorials on Azoomee, in addition to more than 300 games and interactive activities.
