(NASDAQ: MAT) announced that the all-new animated special, Polly Pocket: Sparkle Cove Adventure, from Mattel Television and WildBrain, will premiere on Netflix in the U.S. on August 21, 2023. The 66-minute adventure follows Polly as she learns the whimsical secrets of Sparkle Cove, the source of the magical pockite responsible for her power to shrink. Soon, Polly finds that her discovery isn’t as random as it seems, as she’s been summoned to a mysterious location to compete for the title of “Protector,” bestowed to only the fiercest of pockite wielders.

Surrounded by friends and creatures both old and new, Polly faces stiff competition as she strives to become skilled enough in her shrinking skills to secure her spot as a Protector. Filled with fantastical adventures, tales of friendship and Littleton life lessons, Polly Pocket: Sparkle Cove Adventure promises to be an unforgettable journey for Polly! This all-new special proves to young kids that they can be curious, capable, and tenacious, further expanding the valuable principles upon which the series built its foundation.

“Polly has always been centered around unyielding adventure and creativity, and the newest special is no exception,” said Alex Godfrey, Vice President of Content Distribution, Mattel Television. “Full of tiny worlds and big surprises, Polly’s latest adventure to Sparkle Cove shows young viewers that they have the power to achieve anything they set their minds to, including turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. For the last four seasons, fans have watched Polly master her shrinking abilities and now they can see the true extent of her power as she competes to be a pockite Protector!”
