Aimed at girls 4-7 and boys 4-7, the property is currently comprised of three seasons (104 x 12’), a Christmas special and a series of shorts (10 x 1’30”), with a fourth season in production.

In addition to the TV series, the property has an app (more than 2 million downloads), an online presence, consumer products and a live show as of 2017. The brand has nine international licensees, and 32 licensees in total, including Grendene, Pernamucanas, Estrela, Multi Kids, Agosin (Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador & Central America) and Character Mix (Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay), with over 490 products available.
