Tubi, which lays claim to the title of world's largest ad-supported video-on-demand service, has launched a dedicated kids section on the Tubi Roku channel in the US. Tubi Kids features over 1,200 age-appropriate movies and TV shows totalling over 5,000 hours of free family-friendly content.

In November, Tubi plans to add the hit movies "How to Train Your Dragon," "Norm of the North," and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows," along with series featuring iconic characters such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Strawberry Shortcake, Paddington Bear, and The Wiggles.
Tubi was already a popular destination even before the addition of Tubi Kids, streaming over 132 million hours in September, and the free, ad-supported Tubi channel on Roku has long been one of the most-popular channels in the Roku Channel Store. Outside of the new Tubi Kids section, recently-added programming includes "Megamind" starring Will Ferrell and Tina Fey, "Scary Movie 1" and "Scary Movie 2" starring Marlon Wayans and Anna Faris, the Academy Award-winner "No Country for Old Men" directed by Joel & Ethan Cohen, and the 13th season of the hit TV series "The Bachelorette."
The addition of Tubi Kids adds even more content to Roku's already-large library of children's programming. Just two months ago, "Kids and Family" was added to The Roku channel with thousands of free, ad-supported viewing options that include free TV shows, movies, live linear, and short-form video. Roku also has a large number of free channels from independent creators in the Kids & Family section of the Roku Channel Store. And, of course, the new Disney+ streaming service, launching in November, will greatly expand family-friendly options on Roku.
