Halifax, Canada – ORB™, international children’s toy company, has announced the launch of a 10 episode web series centering around the top selling brand Soft’n Slo Squishies™. ORB™ has partnered with Nelvana Enterprises to create a series of digital shorts, as part of their strategy to further expand the line into new product areas.

“We are very excited to share this digital series and showcase Soft’n Slo Squishies™ in an entirely new way,” said Mitra Rad, Brand Manager at ORB™. “From licensing to broader line extensions, this is just one of the many ways that we will be expanding the Soft’n Slo Squishies™ brand over the next year.”

The first three episodes of this original, short-form YouTube series will premiere March 30th, 2018 at 9:00am ET on the Treehouse Direct YouTube channel, with later distribution on other popular kids YouTube channels. New episodes will follow weekly.

Soft’n Slo Squishies™ bring out the kid in everyone,” said Pam Westman, Head, Nelvana Enterprises. “Our team is delighted to have the opportunity to turn these wildly popular toys into unique characters that will resonate with kids and their families and look forward to expanding the Soft ‘Slo Squishies™ characters into new consumer product categories!”
