Amazon's LOVEFiLM Continues to Expand Kids' Content

LONDON, January 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --



-Thomas & Friends, Fireman Sam & Chuggington amongst fan favourites arriving


on service-



-Includes brand new episodes available exclusively on LOVEFiLM-



LOVEFiLM, an Amazon company, has today bolstered its selection of kids' content with
the addition of iconic TV shows such as Thomas & Friends, Fireman Sam and Chuggington to
the service, whilst retaining the streaming rights for other classic characters such as
He-Man and Postman Pat.



Made possible through three new deals with leading independent children's
entertainment producers HIT Entertainment, Ludorum and DreamWorks Classics, members now
have more choice of child-friendly content than ever before, including a number of
exclusive special episodes unavailable to stream anywhere else.



Through the deal with HIT Entertainment, LOVEFiLM - the film and TV streaming service
- has added popular programmes such as Pingu, Where's Wally, Bob the Builder and Kipper,
alongside over 50 episodes of Thomas & Friends - including a variety of first-run
exclusive feature length movies featuring the little blue engine, such as "Blue Mountain
Mystery", "Misty Island Rescue" and "Day of the Diesels".



Members can now also follow the exciting, action-packed adventures of Wilson, Brewster
and Koko, as Chuggington arrives from Ludorum and becomes available to stream for the
first time and exclusively on LOVEFiLM. This hugely popular kids' show sees the trainees
ride the rails through the world of Chuggington and take on challenges that test their
courage, speed and determination.



These great kids' characters are the latest additions to the LOVEFiLM streaming
catalogue that already features many fan favourites, including Rupert Bear, Postman Pat
and Casper the Friendly Ghost - all of which have been retained by LOVEFiLM through a new
deal with DreamWorks Classics.



This content deal also includes renewals of popular animated series Transylvanian Pet
Shop, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Noddy in Toyland, and many more.



During 2013, parents from around the UK named LOVEFiLM the top film and TV streaming
service for families, with nine in ten users (89 per cent) of parenting website Netmums -
the UK's biggest source of parenting advice and information - stating it is best in class
for kids' entertainment due to its high quality content, value for money and lack of
adverts.



Chris Bird, Director, Content Strategy at LOVEFiLM, said:



"The addition of this new children's content enhances our already fantastic range of
iconic characters and classic shows. Our streaming service is particularly suited to
family content, and parents and their kids can now enjoy an even broader variety of
family-friendly entertainment whenever they want, however they want."
