The first products to come from the new collaboration were launched Thursday and include an online game and a mobile game inspired by DWA’s Madagascar.

“Madagascar Online” is a virtual world on the JumpStart website that catapults kids into Madagascar-themed learning quests and adventures. The new mobile game “Madagascar Preschool Surf 'n Slide” was also released for iOS and Android platforms.

JumpStart is also working on developing a new gaming franchise inspired by How to Train Your Dragon.

"JumpStart is at the forefront of developing innovative educational games and progressive technology for kids, and we are pleased to join forces with them to launch new learning adventures that incorporate characters from DreamWorks Animation franchises," says Jim Mainard, head of digital strategy, DWA.
