Dear Friends
and Shareholders,
Last
Thursday, Amazon and Genius Brands International launched an exclusive kid’s animation subscription streaming channel, Kid
Genius Cartoons Plus!, to all 80 million+ subscribers of Amazon Prime. We believe this transaction will be
transformational for the company.
I appeared this weekend on CNBC’s
“On the Money” with Becky Quick. The segment aired throughout the weekend both on CNBC and syndicated
across the country on 200 TV stations in all of the top markets. Additionally, it is available to be seen on the CNBC
'On the Money' site.
The
agreement between Amazon and Genius Brands is a multi-year deal, which will be offered at $3.99/month/subscriber. Industry
analysts project that Amazon Prime's subscriber base will double within the next five years. Genius Brands is excited to
participate in that growth through the Kid Genius Cartoons Plus! streaming channel.
Kid Genius Cartoons Plus! now offers exclusive access to stream
full seasons of enriching and entertaining content for toddlers to tweens via the Amazon Video app for TVs, connected devices,
including Fire TV, mobile devices and online at www.amazon.com/channels. Kid Genius Cartoons Plus! is
a unique proposition in that we provide “content with a purpose.” Thus, most of our programming incorporates a positive
curriculum along with entertainment. Our award-winning content features series that support science, technology, engineering
and math (STEM) skills, as well as social-emotional development and literacy skills, including Warren Buffett’s Secret
Millionaires Club, featuring 26 half-hour episodes and 26 shorts created and produced in partnership with and starring
legendary financier Warren Buffett, Baby Genius, Thomas Edison’s Secret Lab, SpacePOP, Stan Lee’s Mighty
7, Martha Stewart’s Martha & Friends, and Gisele Bündchen’s Gisele &
The Green Team.
I
encourage you to take some time to check out Kid Genius Cartoons Plus! and subscribe here today. Stay tuned
for more exciting news regarding our partnership with Amazon!
Sincerely,
Andy Heyward
Chairman & CEO
Genius Brands International, Inc.
