Its design is very similar to that of YTV and Disney XD. On 1 June 2021, it was launched another Portuguese TV channel targeted to children called Panda Kids. It airs almost mostly the anime and cartoon shows formerly aired on Biggs, including new ones and films, some formerly aired on Canal Panda. Initially it was supposed to be the first Portuguese pop-up TV channel for children, but due to the increase of the channel's target audience ratings, Dreamia decided to make it as a regular and permanent channel like Biggs and Canal Panda. Starting from 5 July 2023, the channel only airs live-action shows and films for teens and young adults.
