Investigation Brief
StoryBots was a children's series, and Wikipedia notes that its old website now redirects to Netflix. Our scan confirmed this. Opening storybots.com sent the browser straight to netflix.com/title/80108159, where the 'Ask the StoryBots' title page appeared. The domain has been registered for about 15 years. The browser threat feed raised no warning, and only one of 93 antivirus engines flagged the address. That one flag points to the redirect itself rather than to harmful content. The site scores as Safe because the destination is Netflix's own page and nothing harmful was found.
Why the redirect is expected here
Our scanner flags any automatic jump to another domain. In this case, an independent reference source says the StoryBots website now redirects to Netflix, which matches what we observed.
The single antivirus flag came from one engine, and its own listing describes the result as 'a redirect to another domain (www.netflix.com)'. It does not point to malware or phishing.
The connection check found valid encryption, and the domain is about 5,459 days old.
What visitors actually see
Visitors land on a Netflix title page. It shows a Sign In link, a list of other shows, and Netflix's plan prices: $8.99/mo for Standard with ads, $19.99/mo for Standard and $26.99/mo for Premium.
The footer links to the Netflix Shop on netflix.shop and to a page for buying gift cards. These are Netflix's own commercial links.
Why the score is 90
The saved checks and analysis found no material threat. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
