Love it or hate it if you have recently procreated CoComelon is now most likely a big part of your life. Currently its YouTube channel has over 137 billion total views and in total streaming across Netflix Hulu Amazon Prime, and YouTube Nielsen streaming content ratings for 2021 clocked CoComelon at over 33.3 billion minutes of viewing. Even more staggering is that only 15 episodes were streamed outside of YouTube.
Most people think of the series as an overnight success, but creator Jay Jeon and his wife a childrens book author released the first two videos on the YouTube channel way back on September 1st 2006 under the name ABC Kid TV. It was not until 2017 that they made the quantum leap from a more basic 2-D storybook style to the very recognizable 3-D animation with the characters we now associate the series with. And okay with more than 11.2 billion views Baby Shark is the most viewed YouTube video of all time but Cocomelon more than doubles Pinkfong in subscribers with 142 million the second most on YouTube.
Lizzy Easterday lead creative executive for CoComelon shared her thoughts on the shows success with The Washington Post. It has slow tempo songs that are really distinct to the brand she pointed out. The camera is at the eye level of the preschooler. We are in the experience with them and seeing it at their level. But like every popular kids show parents and researchers seem to be split on whether Cocomelon is constructive or detrimental to a childs development. Good or bad, the kids have spoken. And since parents can't help but watch along heres a few things that only the adults will notice in CoComelon.
Although many kids excitedly shriek CoComelon at the screen every time they see those two front teeth and that single blonde swirl CoComelon is actually the name of the YouTube Channel and now streaming show. The kids are on the right track as the blonde baby is the main character and his face has become synonymous with the show but hordes of toddlers around the world have been surprised to learn that his name is actually JJ. The confusion is completely warranted considering the titles of many popular kids shows are simply the name of the main character Bluey Peppa Pig Winnie the Pooh Daniel Tigers Neighborhood and Arthur to name just a few.
