DUESSELDORF, NRW, GERMANY, May 31, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — IvyBears today announces the official YouTube premiere of the second episode of its animated IvyBears series, continuing the rapid global momentum of the newly launched character-driven entertainment universe.

The launch follows the massive success of the first IvyBears episode, which crossed 17.4 million views within four weeks — a remarkable early milestone for a newly launched independent kids and family IP. Anticipation for the next chapter has also been significant: the official trailer for Episode 2 has already surpassed 2.1 million views within just a few days ahead of the full episode release.
In the new episode, the action moves to Tokyo, where a high-speed bullet train loses its brakes and races toward a cliffside construction zone. Reg and Tanny must intercept the train at full speed in a race against time where everything is on the line.
The series is produced by Moontrail Animation Studios, the animation division behind the IvyBears entertainment universe. Moontrail was created around a clear creative principle: Artificial Intelligence can be an incredibly powerful tool to accelerate and scale visual production, but the heart of storytelling must remain human.
Behind every episode is a traditional creative team of directors, writers, editors, VFX artists, sound designers and composers, shaping the story, pacing, emotion and cinematic tone of the series.
“With IvyBears, we are building more than an animated series,” said Kaan Haylaz, Founder of IvyBears. “We are building a global character-driven consumer IP that connects storytelling, digital entertainment and retail. Crossing 17.4 million views in four weeks with our first episode is a massive success for a newly launched IP and shows that audiences are responding to the world we are creating. AI helps us move faster, but the soul of the story remains fully human.”
The IvyBears series is part of a broader strategic evolution of the IvyBears brand from a premium vitamin gummy company into a global kids and family consumer IP platform. By combining animated storytelling, recognizable characters, digital reach and physical consumer products, IvyBears aims to build a new content-to-commerce model for family entertainment and retail activation.
The second episode marks the next step in that journey, expanding the IvyBears universe and deepening the connection between its characters, audience and global brand platform.
