Characters

Mila is a young blonde girl who often wears blue clothing. She is always seen with her magic pet, Morphle and is the leader in their adventures together.
Morphle is the titular red rabbit-like magic pet who is Mila's pet, friend, and a bit of a sibling at times. His special ability is shape-shifting into anything. He has a high-pitched voice and refers to himself and others in the third-person. Even though he is described as Mila's pet, they are more like siblings/best friends.
Jordie is a young boy and Mila's stepbrother. He happily goes along with Mila and Morphle’s adventures, even if it puts him outside of his comfort zone. He carries around a Magic Pet Primer, a tablet database full of information.

History

In 2011 van Merwijk, an animation school graduate, created a YouTube channel for preschoolers based on nursery rhymes. Throughout the first year van Merwijk produced every episode himself. His sister, who is a professional singer, created the music for the show. Van Merwijk drew the characters and his friend, Daan Velsink, created the rig-animation. After saving his profits during the program's first year, he used the money to set up a studio in Amsterdam. He hired animators and artists and created additional videos per month.

My Magic Pet Morphle was originally titled Mila and Her Magic Pet, and the YouTube channel uploaded its first video on 19 December 2011,^[8] and it was a Christmas special video (the first non-Christmas video was released on 14 January 2012).^[9] At the time, Morphle had a tail on his back until it was removed in 2014.^[10]

The show functioned this way until 2015 when it took on its current TV-show format. According to van Merwijk, Morphle is one of the first preschool channels on YouTube that treated its videos as episodes of a traditional television program. When van Merwijk made this change, viewership grew substantially. By 2016 the show had millions of views each month.^[3]

In November 2018 Moonbug Entertainment purchased Morphle TV from van Merwijk. At the time of the purchase the show had about five million subscribers and 3.7 billion views.^[11]

In February 2021 Moonbug partnered with Poetic Brands to create branded children's apparel based on My Magic Pet Morphle.^[12]
