Press Release:30 March 2026UK Tech Start-Up Comixit! Expands Kids Digital Comics Platform with Characters from Disney, Pixar and 20th Century StudiosThe collaboration brings iconic characters from the worlds of Disney’s Stitch, Moana, Frozen and more to the family-friendly digital comics platform for families in Europe, the Middle East and AfricaComixit! has teamed up with Disney to bring digital comics based on over 100 properties from Disney, Pixar and 20th Century Studios to children and families across the UK, Europe, Middle East and Africa. With content inspired by the latest releases such as Zootropolis 2 to iconic characters and stories including Disney and Pixar’s Cars, subscribers are now able to enjoy these beloved comics directly on the Comixit! platform.
Comixit! is a unique family-friendly platform, aimed at kids between 6–13 years, with the aim of inspiring them to love reading through the enjoyment, variety, and accessibility of comics. Its vertical-scroll format makes reading easier and more immersive for young readers.
Beloved titles including Zootropolis miniseries, Olaf's Comic Collection and the Agent Stitch graphic novel series are available now, with new stories and characters rolling out on Comixit! throughout 2026.“Only one in three children now enjoy reading, the lowest level in decades, yet research by the National Literacy Trust shows that kids who read comics are twice as likely to enjoy all reading,” said Comixit! CEO Michael Nakan. “Disney has shaped imaginations for generations, and bringing its universally loved characters into a modern, mobile-first comics format allows us to meet children where they already are and turn screen time into something parents can feel proud of. Our ambition is simple: make reading exciting, immersive and habitual again.”Founded by entertainment executive Michael Nakan with the mission to become an inspiring place for children aged 6–13 to develop a lifelong love of reading, Comixit! is built specifically for children, with age-appropriate curation, moderated environments, and features designed to support confident, independent reading.Comixit! has been developed using in-depth research with UK children and parents, showing that kids often read comics for 30–60 minutes at a time, significantly longer than traditional books, and that parents increasingly view comics as “real reading” and a positive form of screen time.All content is available exclusively on the Comixit! app, which can be downloaded at www.comixit.app. Comixit! will be offering families free access over the Easter period as an introductory offer.For further information contact:
