AI digital companion platform MetaPals is partnering with WildBrain’s Teletubbies to launch the Teletubbies AI digital companions on 20 April 2024.
As Teletubbies commemorates its 27th anniversary on 31 March, the collaboration marks the beginning of renowned IPs joining the MetaPals Multiverse in 2024. Through AI and blockchain technology, much loved Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po, and even Noo-Noo have become personalised, evolving digital companions within the MetaPals browser extension game engine.
The Teletubbies characters integrate with users’ daily browsing experience that accompanies users across the web, offering playful interactions and practical assistance. This technology not only brings these fun characters to life in new, interactive ways but also helps enhance users’ mental well-being by fostering a sense of companionship.
Each Teletubbies companion within the MetaPals Multiverse will exhibit unique personality traits, offering users a diverse and dynamic experience. With personalities distributed across 5000+ Teletubby companions along a spectrum, users are guaranteed a one-of-a-kind experience, ensuring enjoyment for all and opportunities to foster new connections with this nostalgic brand.
MetaPals CEO Max Giammario said, “Through this collaboration, we’re not just revisiting Teletubbyland, we’re reinventing it for the digital age. By weaving in AI and blockchain, we enable the Teletubbies characters to evolve, interact, and form unique bonds with users, embodying our vision of dynamic digital companionship. With a bit of MetaPals magic, the Teletubbies are exploring beyond the hills and far away, ready to play, in ways we’ve never imagined.”
WildBrain franchise strategy director Melissa Goodrich said, “We’re excited to see our colourful quartet come to life in new ways through this unique digital experience for fans. As we celebrate 27 years of the perennially popular Teletubbies franchise, this latest collaboration encapsulates the essence of childhood nostalgia while embracing the limitless possibilities of the digital age.”
