Momo-chan o Sagashite!! in 1993. A spinoff television anime, Tama & Friends: Sagase! Mahō no Punipuni Stone, aired in 2006. A new Tama and Friends short anime premiered in 2016. 4Kids Entertainment licensed the original television anime in 2001 and aired an English-dubbed version in North America.
Sony Creative Products Inc. revealed the Uchi Tama!? project, which anthropomorphizes the franchise's characters, in 2017.
In commemoration of the franchise's 30th anniversary in 2013, Sony Creative Products released several forms of media, including a novel, a real experience game, a picture book reissue, and stage play adaptation.
