YouTube Platform Maker Adds Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears Shows From the '80s
Video net publishes full-length eps of American Greetings properties
Maker Studios, the video company behind popular YouTubers Shaycarl, PewDiePie and now full-blown non-Internet celebrities like Snoop Lion, is getting into the library content biz with '80s-era episodes of Strawberry Shortcake and The Care Bears—both properties from American Greetings' licensing division AG Properties. Maker purchased exclusive YouTube rights to 20 episodes of each.
It's something of a surprising announcement given that AG already has new contemporary versions of its characters' adventures gracing the airwaves at Discovery's joint venture cable channel with Hasbro, The Hub.
