Atlantyca Entertainment’s popular animated series “Geronimo Stilton” is joining their “Bat Pat” animated series on HappyKids, Future Today’s flagship kids and family streaming platform. This new partnership with Future Today, marks the second deal for the two companies, Atlantyca and Future Today, having secured the streaming rights earlier this year to Atlantyca’s spooky and comical animated adventure series Bat Pat.  

Beginning October 2021, the first season (26 x 23 min) of Geronimo Stilton will be available on HappyKids streaming platform throughout the US and the UK.

“We are so excited to have found the right streaming partner for our beloved “Geronimo Stilton” animated series,” noted Alessandra Dematteis, Distribution Manager. “We are very anxious to bring his animated adventures back to his many fans.  His old and new young reading enthusiasts can now enjoy seeing all of his delightful adventures come visually to life on their own favorite screens.”
