Not really. If you spend some time watching youtube with your kid you will
see lots of weird and creepy stuff and kids still like to watch it. One of
my daughters favorites is the skeleton dance by Disney. That is all black
and literally has skeletons dancing in a graveyard. Halloween songs are
also big business for youtube kids.
Another channel leokimvideos does a lot of creppy stuff with spiders and
bugs and he has over a billion views. He is also a youtube millionaire
now.

I wonder how much money and how many people were
involved in the
production and marketing process. Did the artist have the support of
an established media organisation or perhaps a promotional slot on
Oprah/Ellen/The View/etc...
Well, UA is popular. Or was, when she did pop/soul songs.
For an example, with band Fishmans:

The intent was not to compare with a start up. Not at all. Although,
start up or not, there are genre styles to be applied when a
conservative market is considered. Childrens' educational material is
rather conservative after all.

It helps make the colors pop.
I'm afraid, for the children market, it will take more than that.
Maybe sticking to the idea of using fractal animations, if a black
background proves mandatory, might not be a good move.

Kinder Surprise...
That's what I thought. So you already got sponsoring ? :)
