The Cat in the Hat and Blippi are getting together for Dr. Seuss’s Birthday!
Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Moonbug Entertainment are releasing two new digital episodes that bring together Blippi and the iconic Dr. Seuss Character, the Cat in the Hat, on February 27.
The crossover event marks Dr. Seuss’s Birthday on March 2, which has come to be known as a celebration of literacy and a day to encourage parents and teachers of little ones to “Read Today for Their Tomorrow.”
The Cat in the Hat x Blippi episodes are the second set of crossover episodes that bring together the worlds of Dr. Seuss and Blippi, following a breakout crossover event between the Grinch and Blippi in December that drew more than 16 million views across both the Blippi and Dr. Seuss YouTube channels. You can check out one of the new Cat in the Hat x Blippi episodes that launched today on the Dr. Seuss YouTube channel, and the other episode on the Blippi YouTube channel.
The drops on the Blippi and Dr. Seuss YouTube Channels will differ from each other, so fans can watch a unique episode featuring the Cat in the Hat and Blippi on each of the channels. The crossover events are taking place at a time when both the Blippi and Dr. Seuss YouTube channels are dominating the digital family content landscape.
