Netflix’s Cocomelon Series Makes Its Animation Purge Even Worse
With Moonbug Entertainment, Netflix has ordered several more seasons of CoComelon Lane and more shows, such as Little Baby Bum: Music Time, and while this makes sense financially, it also makes Netflix's recent purge of animated shows a harder pill to swallow. CoComelon is nothing short of a phenomenon. Created by Jay Joen in 2006, the CoComelon YouTube channel is currently the second largest YouTube channel in the world. After making the leap onto Netflix, CoComelon has been a perennial feature in Top 10 catalogues around the world. Adored by children, CoComelon has risen to be a fixture in households with children under the age of five, like other child-friendly shows, such as Paw Patrol. It shouldn't come as a surprise that Netflix has placed its chips on the children's show.
