Echo Media and Nebulous Stars: Two Canadian Creatives Unite for a Bold International Venture

Montreal, May 15, 2025 – Two standout players in Canada’s creative industry, Echo Media and Twinkle Teal Entertainment Inc., are joining forces to develop an original animated series inspired by the enchanting world of Nebulous Stars, the globally renowned brand created by Twinkle Teal Entertainment inc. Supported by SODEC, the project is already in development and aims for a wide-reaching broadcast across Canada and on the international stage.

A NEW CHAPTER FOR A BELOVED UNIVERSE

With 17 bestselling novels, a magazine, and an extensive line of creative products that spark imagination, Nebulous Stars is already a daily presence in the lives of thousands of children around the world. This new animated series continues that story-driven journey, extending the brand’s universe into a new medium. Highly anticipated by its loyal fanbase, the series will bring to life a world filled with kindness, empathy, and wonder — offering young viewers a fresh way to connect with the uplifting, inspiring messages at the heart of Nebulous Stars. It also represents a key step in the brand’s long-term strategy to strengthen its IP through sustained audience engagement and international expansion. 

A CAPTIVATING UNIVERSE DEDICATED TO WELL-BEING AND CREATIVITY

Since its inception in 2017, Nebulous Stars has stood out for its unique ability to offer children aged 6 to 12 — especially young girls — a world that blends creativity, emotional well-being, and personal growth. With a presence in over 90 countries and strong partnerships with giants such as Panini and Hachette, the brand combines high entertainment value with innovative educational content.

A NATURAL COLLABORATION BETWEEN TWO YOUTH CONTENT EXPERTS

“Working with Echo Media means teaming up with a passionate, agile, and strategically brilliant team,” says Geneviève Lecompte, President of Twinkle Teal Entertainment Inc. “Their proven expertise in adapting successful intellectual properties for the screen gives us tremendous confidence in their ability to bring Nebulous Stars to life in all its glory.”

For her part, Sarah Chatelain, Producer and Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Echo Media, adds: “Nebulous Stars is much more than a brand — it’s a universe that profoundly touches children’s imaginations while promoting their inner well-being. It’s a joy and an honor for Echo Media to help shine a light on this exceptional homegrown creation, one that embodies values we wholeheartedly share.”

FUELING CANADIAN IP WITH GLOBAL REACH

By combining their strengths, Twinkle Teal Entertainment Inc. and Echo Media reaffirm their commitment to supporting the growth of powerful Canada-born intellectual properties that can thrive on the international stage — all while celebrating imagination, creativity, and the well-being of new generations. This partnership is founded on a natural complementarity: Nebulous Stars brings a rich narrative universe, a unique and well-defined positioning centered on wellness, and a deep understanding of its core audience — children aged 6 and up — which has enabled it to build a true creative commercial empire. Echo Media, for its part, contributes its acclaimed expertise in youth production, its ability to grow brands into enduring franchises, and its strategic approach to developing multi-platform IP.

This partnership reflects a shared ambition: to create youth-driven worlds that capture the imagination — here and everywhere.
