Cocomelon (/koʊkoʊmɛlən/, stylized as CoComelon) is an American YouTube channel owned by the British company Moonbug Entertainment and maintained by the American company Treasure Studio. Cocomelon specializes in 3D animation videos of both traditional nursery rhymes and their own original children's songs. As of May 2024, Cocomelon is the 3rd most-subscribed and 2nd most-viewed channel on YouTube.
Cocomelon's videos feature children, adults, and animals who interact with each other in daily life. The lyrics appear at the bottom of the screen in the same way on all displays. In 2020, Treasure Studio added Cocomelon content to Netflix, Roku, and Hulu.[2][3] The company also delivers music through popular streaming services.[4] YouTube's content consists of standalone music videos, compilations, and livestreams.
In 2013, after several years of making content for Jay Jeon's children, Treasure Studio began the ABC Kid TV era which introduced a new intro and logo to start a fresh new look to expand their brand. The logo showed a TV with a ladybug in the upper left corner. The channel began remastering older videos, followed by a transition from alphabet videos to nursery rhymes and longer video lengths.[7] Within a few years, the channel introduced computer animation, with their first 3D character being used in Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on April 8, 2016. The video featured a 3D flying star guiding 2D characters through the sky. Towards the end of 2016, 3D animation video uploads became more frequent and longer, with some videos using motion capture technology. Animation and music production continued to modernize, and a recurring cast of characters formed before the 2018 rebrand.[8]
In the summer of 2018, the channel rebranded again to Cocomelon, introducing a new intro and outro to all their videos. They also added the logo of a watermelon stylized to resemble a traditional box TV, while retaining the ladybug as part of the opening and closing sequences.
In April 2019, The Wall Street Journal estimated Cocomelon's yearly ad revenue at $120 million.[9] In late 2020, Cocomelon added content in Spanish and Portuguese.[10][11] Early in 2021, they also added Mandarin Chinese, German, and Arabic.[12][13][14]
Nina Reyes, who first appeared on the show in 2019, got her own show, Nina's Familia, a bilingual series following the format of the original, with educational songs and nursery rhymes. The spinoff, to start on September 29, 2023, was intended both for children who knew Spanish and for those who did not, and care was taken to make sure Latino culture was well represented.[15]
In July 2020, Jeon sold his company, Treasure Studio, to Moonbug, which had been founded just two years earlier.[16] Moonbug expanded the show to more audiences, inking deals with platforms in South Korea, China, and Europe.
A range of toys, including plush dolls and toy vehicles, were announced in February 2020.[17] Expected for shipment during August 2020,[18][19] the company began selling apparel directly through their website during December 2020.[20]
After nine years on YouTube, Cocomelon reached 1 million subscribers on May 16, 2016; it reached one billion total views later in the same month. The channel grew rapidly following the July 2017 release of "Yes Yes" Bedtime Song, a video in which TomTom has to use stuffed animals to get JJ to prepare for bed; "Yes Yes" became Cocomelon's most-viewed video, with over 1 billion views.
Cocomelon had the second-largest YouTube channel subscription gain in 2019, according to Business Insider, with an increase of over 36 million, ending the year on 67.4 million in channel subscriptions.[21] In 2018, YouTube's algorithm recommended Cocomelon's video "Bath Song + More Nursery Rhymes & Kids Songs" 650 times "among the 696,468 suggestions that Pew Research Center tracked" making it the most recommended video in the research project.[22][23] As of September 2020, that video has received over 3.2 billion views on YouTube, making it the 19th-most-viewed video on the site.[24] In addition, Cocomelon's second-most popular video, "Yes Yes Vegetables Song", has received over 2.5 billion views, making it the 36th-most-viewed video on the site.[24]
Between May and June 2019, Cocomelon received 2.5 billion total views, averaging 83 million daily viewers worldwide. Comparatively, the "major four [American] TV broadcast networks averaged just 13 million viewers daily during the TV season".[25] In July 2019, YouTube changed its algorithm after the Federal Trade Commission raised concerns over child safety. Several children's channels were affected, including Cocomelon, which "dropped from 575 million total views the week before the change, to 436 million the week of, to 307 million the week after, and 282 million the week after that".[26]
It was predicted Cocomelon would surpass PewDiePie at some point in April or May 2021, becoming the second-most subscribed YouTube channel.[29][30][31] In response to this, PewDiePie released "Coco," a diss track targeted at Cocomelon on February 14, 2021. The video was removed from YouTube shortly after its upload; YouTube cited its harassment and cyberbullying policy as the reason for the video being taken down.[32][33] Two months later, on April 25, 2021, Cocomelon surpassed PewDiePie as predicted. The song "Coco" remains on major streaming platforms.
Cocomelon has been involved in the Riyadh Season 2021 show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where the companies Spacetoon Event and Moonbug Entertainment collaborated with the Saudi General Entertainment Authority to bring the Cocomelon Town show for 3 months.[34][35]
Although Cocomelon's website in 2019 described the company as having 20 employees,[6] the identity of the founders is unknown. When The Wall Street Journal attempted to find out who creates Cocomelon videos, they were unable to contact Treasure Studio, which owns the channel.[39] Wired magazine located a couple in Irvine, California who seemed to have some ties with Treasure Studio, but was unable to confirm that they owned the channel.[40] During February 2020, Bloomberg Businessweek identified a couple from Orange County, California as the owners of Treasure Studio and Cocomelon.[41] The question of original ownership is of historical interest; Cocomelon was purchased during 2020 by the children's new media conglomerate Moonbug,[19] which was itself acquired by Candle Media during 2022.[42]
Moonbug Entertainment Ltd. accused BabyBus of creating Super JoJo songs that were in some cases virtually frame-by-frame copies of CoComelon songs, in its lawsuit in the US District Court for the Northern District of California. Babybus conceded that it infringed seven CoComelon works before trial, but contested alleged infringement of 35 other works.
UK-based Moonbug acquired CoComelon, which has 162 million subscribers, in 2020. The next year, two former Disney executives bought Moonbug, which also owns a variety of other YouTube kids programming including Blippi and Little Baby Bum, for $3 billion.
BabyBus, founded in 2009, started its Super JoJo channel in 2019, and it now has 24 million subscribers. Moonbug and CoComelon creator Treasure Studio Inc. filed their August 2021 lawsuit months before the Blackstone-backed acquisition.
