The Discovery Family deal marks our 3rd entry into the U.S. Market. This is on top of our deals with Hulu and 3net(Discovery,SONY and IMAX). As part of the strategy to globalise the Dream Defenders Brand, we have reached out to 60 countries at this stage. Including major broadcasters like SUPER RTL and Planeta Junior in Europe.

In coming weeks, we will announce another deal that covers 19 countries in Asia.

Currently we are in talks with 2 major players in China. With this we hope to close the loop of our strategy to globalise the Dream Defenders Brand and expand further into feature films, theme parks and licensing/merchandising in coming years. Thanks for all your support. Without you, we wouldn't have come so far.

Opportunity opens up for Dream Defenders


The conference calls with the 2 potential Chinese Partners went well today. One of them is a key player in Shanghai who has invested in a major US Animation Studio in China. The other is the number one satellite TV station in China. We are honoured that both of them are interested to move the discussion forward to the next stage. Guess we will be heading to China next. 

In China, the players have the all in one capability - distributions, promotions, broadcasting, toys manufacturing, theme-park and theme restaurants, licensing / merchandising, investing in TV series and feature film etc. They have the ability to grow Dream Defenders brand in China much further and bigger. 

This opportunity really opens up a new chapter for us. Its a whole new lesson for us. It feels like going to school all over again. There is so much to learn. And most of all, we are one tiny step closer to our dream. That is to bring Singapore work to the world. Keep Dreaming. Keep believing.

Great news for Dream Defenders from China!


Today, we received an important mail from a major media company based in Shanghai. They are the one invested in one of the key US animation studio in China. They mentioned that they are really very fond of Dream Defenders. And would like to discuss further collaboration and distribution in China. 

Though we are not sure where this will lead us to. We feel really honored and encouraged. This could just be another chapter for us.
