Whether there’s a fox with a sprained paw, a turtle with an itchy toe or a tiger with an aching tooth, Vida is the vet for the job. With quick thinking, a doctor’s intuition and the help of her closest friends, Vida helps the adorable animals and ensures they get the care they need.

The expanded relationship with Spin Master also includes representing brands, Rubik’s Cube and Tech Deck across multiple territories. WildBrain CPLG will represent Rubik’s in Europe (excluding U.K., France, Benelux and Switzerland), MENA and APAC, including China and Korea (excluding Japan, Australia, New Zealand). For Tech Deck, WildBrain CPLG will handle licensing rights for Europe, MENA and APAC, including China, Japan, Korea (excluding Australia, New Zealand).
