HITN's preschool platform Edye has acquired Stomp! Stomp! Rhinos! (Rinoaventuras) through an agreement with OAK9 Entertainment, expanding its library of content aimed at emotional wellness and social-emotional learning. The series follows rhino siblings Noah, Ela, and Ron as they navigate everyday preschool experiences, learning to understand and manage big emotions through storytelling, music, and playful mindfulness.
The acquisition aligns with Edye's mission to nurture curiosity, imagination, empathy, and joyful learning in young children. Erika Vogt-Lowell, Vice-president of Content at HITN, said, "This acquisition underscores our commitment to delivering content that is both entertaining and educational for families. Stomp! Stomp! Rhinos! speaks directly to the values at the heart of Edye— helping children build emotional resilience while having fun."
The series has already demonstrated 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. This agreement marks the series' official Spanish and Portuguese-language world premiere, bringing it to millions of families across the US and Latin America for the first time. Mindaugas Jokubaitis, Producer at OAK9 Entertainment, noted, "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."
Edye is an ecosystem of premium content for preschool-aged children, including an SVOD platform, a linear Pay TV channel, branded blocks for broadcast television, and a hub for various digital games and activities. It offers content curated by early childhood development experts and is available on all major digital platforms and devices. The addition of Stomp! Stomp! Rhinos! strengthens Edye's position as a go-to resource for families seeking content that combines entertainment with emotional development.
