Minno's new dual-language puppet series addresses the growing demand for Spanish and bilingual Christian content while promoting cross-cultural friendship and faith education for young viewers.
Minno, the global leader in Christian kids' media, has launched 'Guillermo & Will,' a first-of-its-kind dual-language puppet series designed to help children engage with God's world in both English and Spanish. The series debuted on the streaming platform October 10 and represents a significant advancement in faith-based children's programming that addresses the needs of diverse linguistic communities.
