Booba (TV series)

Booba is an animated TV show for children. It is produced by 3D Sparrow, an independent animation based in the United Kingdom, which serves as the in-house production company for the Dubai-based entertainment company Kedoo. The show was on its fifth season by 2024. 

Creation

The idea for Booba was first conceived of in 2013. Initially, development of the cartoon was crowd-funded. 

Synopsis

The show follows the main character, Booba, and his friends, Loola, Spike, and Mr Beak, as they go on unique adventures. The cartoon has no words or speech and was intended for children one to three years of age. Each episode is a few minutes long. 

Broadcast

The show began airing in 2016. It became more popular over time and broadcasting deals expanded the cartoon to Netflix, as well as to broadcasters in Turkey, Latin America, Poland, and elsewhere. 

While Booba is aired in more than 45 countries, the shows are typically released on YouTube first. It's also on free, ad-supported "FAST channels". Booba merchandise is licensed through IMG, which has sold 40,000 Booba toys. Booba's producer Kedoo was initially founded as a copyright and trademark firm specializing in YouTube in 2016. However, it became primarily a content development studio after creating Booba. Kedoo expanded internationally and created other shows. 

By 2020, the show had been streamed 5.3 billion times, or 20 billion by 2024. In 2025, HBO Max began broadcasting Booba globally, except in the United States.

In addition to the main series, another short called Food Puzzle was introduced with season 3. A live-action version where Booba visits the real world, called The Booba Show, came out in 2024.
