GLU Network Teams With Moral Monster Media to Bring Seven Monster Characters to Kids and Develop Original Animated Movie

HOUSTON, Texas — GLU Network is expanding its children's entertainment offering through a new collaboration with Moral Monster Media, bringing seven colorful monster characters to the free faith and family streaming platform while laying the groundwork for an original animated movie produced by GLU.

As the Moral Monsters set out on their "Road Trip", GLU plans to involve select creators and channel partners from across the network, weaving real personalities and destinations into the characters' animated adventure.

The concept takes advantage of something increasingly unique to GLU: a growing community of independent creators brought together within a single network. By connecting creators who might otherwise operate independently, GLU can develop original programming that crosses channels, introduces audiences to new personalities and creates opportunities for partners to collaborate in entirely new ways.

For GLU, "Road Trip" represents an early example of what can happen when content aggregation evolves into creative collaboration—turning a network of individual channels into a connected entertainment ecosystem.

“One of the things that makes Road Trip so much fun is that the Moral Monsters won't be taking this journey alone,” said Julie Stagner, CEO of GLU Network, “We're developing opportunities for them to visit and interact with creators from across the GLU community as their adventure unfolds. That's part of the magic of bringing so many talented creators together in one network—we can create new stories, unexpected collaborations and experiences that none of us could build in quite the same way on our own.”

The seven-character universe also gives GLU opportunities to develop stories beyond a single movie, with characters and themes that can extend across episodic programming, short-form content and other family entertainment experiences.

For Moral Monster Media, the relationship provides a broader platform for introducing its characters and their world to families while preserving the positive foundation at the heart of the brand.

The planned production reflects GLU's broader creator-first strategy: building relationships with independent creators and content owners while exploring opportunities to develop new intellectual property and original programming together.

"Road Trip" is currently in development. Additional details regarding the production and release will be announced as the project progresses.
