StoryBots is an American children's media franchise that began as digital learning content for young viewers. It launched to the public in the summer of 2012 and built a large audience on YouTube before moving into television with Ask the StoryBots, which premiered on Netflix on August 12, 2016. The franchise now covers educational television series, a holiday special, books, music, video games and classroom activities, built around a team of animated StoryBot characters who go on adventures to answer children's questions.
