Edye, HITN's Spanish and Portuguese-language preschool platform for US and Latin American audiences, announced today that Stomp! Stomp! Rhinos! (Rinoaventuras) will join its platform through an agreement with OAK9 Entertainment. The preschool series centers on emotional wellness and social-emotional learning, following Rhino siblings Noah, Ela, and Ron as they navigate everyday experiences, learning to understand and manage big emotions through storytelling, music, and playful mindfulness.
The series, designed to connect with preschoolers and their families, integrates entertainment and emotional wellness while offering actionable tools to foster healthy emotional growth. Through vibrant animation and engaging stories, families are encouraged to “Do the Stomp!” together — making social-emotional learning a joyful, shared experience. This acquisition underscores Edye's commitment to delivering content that is both entertaining and educational, according to Erika Vogt-Lowell, Vice-president of Content at HITN. "Stomp! Stomp! Rhinos! speaks directly to the values at the heart of Edye — helping children build emotional resilience while having fun," she said.
Mindaugas Jokubaitis, Producer at OAK9 Entertainment, highlighted the importance of reaching Latino audiences. "Edye's reach across US and Latin American audiences makes this partnership especially meaningful to us. The Latino community represents one of the fastest-growing preschool audiences in the US, and having a trusted platform like Edye bring Stomp! Stomp! Rhinos! to Spanish and Portuguese-speaking families is exactly the kind of purposeful distribution we envisioned for this franchise," he said.
The series aligns closely with Edye's mission to nurture curiosity, imagination, empathy, and joyful learning in young children. It has already proven strong global appeal, amassing 6 million YouTube views in under five months and earning a nomination for Best Kids Channel at the 2026 TellyCast Digital Video Awards. The agreement marks the series’ official Spanish and Portuguese-language world premiere — bringing Stomp! Stomp! Rhinos! to millions of families across the US and Latin America for the first time.
