Canal Panda

Canal Panda is a Portuguese pay television channel, the first one dedicated to kids programming, mostly animated series for children aged 6–14.

Canal Panda is currently owned by Dreamia, a joint-venture between AMC Networks International Iberia and NOS, in addition of the linear channel, it operates the Panda+ SVOD service.

Panda Club first aired on October 3, 1994, on regional stations in Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan and Fujian, which are the four largest in China.

Panda Club offered Mandarin dubs of shows from DIC's catalog, such as Madeline, Rimba's Island, Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.

This campaign introduced the new version of the Panda mascot, which was now supplemented by new characters, such as Kinkas (kangaroo), Juba (lion) and Pintas (giraffe).

The mascots were introduced to the channel in bumpers with the aim of premiering a Panda Cartoon animated series by the end of the year.

The new look was designed in Spain by Sopa de Sobre and had the assistance of viewers and fans from both countries, with the aim of creating a uniform identity for both channels.
