The Wingfeather Saga
Based on Andrew Peterson's bestselling books with more than 1.8 million copies sold, The Wingfeather Saga is a hand-painted, 3D animated fantasy series that brings adventure, virtue, and moral imagination to life. It remains one of the most successful crowdfunded family animated series ever produced.
Performance Highlights (Dec 2024–Sept 2025)
- 40.3 million total minutes watched

The transactions were funded through a combination of cash and stock, for a total aggregate purchase consideration of about $89 million, consistent with Angel's disciplined approach to balancing creative expansion with shareholder value creation.
These three acquisitions strengthen Angel's control of its most successful original IP and reinforce its vertically integrated, community-driven model. By aligning ownership with audience validation, Angel is expanding the creative and economic engine that powers the Angel Guild.
