It stayed on those channels for almost 2 years, before moving to Universal Kids, after The Star, Coco, and Ferdinand all moved to basic cable networks like FX, Disney Channel, and Freeform, the latter two channels also later airing My Little Pony: The Movie as well, on June 24 and September 27, 2020, respectively.
