About

Teletubbies is the landmark preschool series created by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport that revolutionised children's television when it premiered in 1997, introducing four colourful characters with unique antenna and belly-mounted screens to audiences in over 120 countries. Now owned by WildBrain/CPLG, the brand has evolved into a cross-generational lifestyle icon, captivating both original fans (now parents) and new generations through strategic partnerships, a Netflix series, and bold collaborations with fashion houses, collectible brands, and pop culture partners. Approaching its 30th anniversary in 2027, Teletubbies represents a rare evergreen property that combines heritage appeal with contemporary cultural relevance‚ making it a compelling licensing opportunity across multiple categories.
