Prime members can also download the series on their mobile devices for offline viewing at no additional cost.

In the last two years, shares of Amazon have steadily treaded higher. The stock has returned 135% compared with the Electronic Commerce industry’s gain of 59.8%.

About the Series

Danger & Eggs is an animated kids series especially for the 6–11-year age group. The story revolves around a fearless girl, D.D. Danger, and her best friend, a giant egg named Phillip. The two go in search of new adventures at their favorite spot, Chicken Paw Park. The two are polar opposites but their differences complement each other as they manage to overcome challenges with the Buddy System. The mantra of the Buddy System says everything, “You look out for me and I will look out for you!”

In the first season, both the friends tried to conquer the world’s weirdest water slide. The water slide was an underground laboratory where they met a tech-savvy raccoon and enjoyed every bit of it in the smallest bite of broccoli.

Created by Mike Owens and Shadi Petosky, Danger & Eggs is executive produced by Owens, Petosky, and Chris Hardwick.

Our Take

The increasing popularity of tablets, smartphones and web-connected TVs has enhanced online-video viewing and continues to attract consumers as well as leading technology companies like Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) and Apple Inc. (AAPL - Free Report) .

Therefore, Amazon is leaving no stone unturned to boost its digital media sales and attract new viewers by adding more comedy, action and kids series to its content lineup and making Prime Video more attractive.
