41 Entertainment LLC (41E) is a privately owned American animation firm focused on creating, producing, and distributing children’s television programming. Established in 2010 by entrepreneur Allen Bohbot, 41E conducts its operations worldwide from its main office located in Greenwich, Connecticut.
History
Allen Bohbot, an experienced entrepreneur and founder, previously launched Bohbot Entertainment (BKN) along with its affiliates during the 1990s before founding 41 Entertainment. In 2011, the company swiftly formed a key alliance with Bandai Namco Games to handle distribution of the animated series Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, collaborating with notable industry figures such as Avi Arad and Rick Ungar. This franchise grew globally through various licensing deals, significantly increasing 41E’s footprint in the children’s entertainment market.
By 2014, 41E had joined forces with Netflix and Arad Animation to develop Kong: King of the Apes, followed by original productions including Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan and Jane and Super Monsters. These projects reinforced the company’s strategy of worldwide content distribution and licensing. The partnerships also enhanced 41E’s market position by utilizing streaming services to reach a wider audience.
Continuing to broaden its portfolio, 41E took on exclusive global sales responsibilities for Activision Blizzard Studios’ Skylanders Academy in 2017 and introduced proprietary productions like Shooting Star and The Mini Musketeers. The company sustained its growth trajectory with new franchises such as S.M.A.S.H! launched in 2018, highlighting the strategic direction under CEO Allen Bohbot’s leadership.
In 2023, 41E reintroduced the Amazin' Adventures brand as a YouTube channel, illustrating its adaptability in leveraging digital platforms to strengthen market presence and consumer engagement.
The executive team includes Kiersten Halstead (Vice President of Creative Services), Nancy Koff (Vice President of Sales and Marketing), and Pat Venti (Administrative Vice President), who play integral roles in supporting the firm’s organizational framework and international activities. Through focused investments in content creation and strategic collaborations, 41 Entertainment sustains a robust position within the children’s and family entertainment sector.
