Genius Brands International (NASDAQ:GNUS) recently released a
letter to shareholders from Chairman & CEO Andy Heyward. The
complete letter follows:
CNBC Host, Becky Quick, Exclusive Interview with
Genius Brands International (NASDAQ:GNUS) Chairman & CEO, Andy
Heyward
Warren Buffett’s “Secret Millionaires Club” To Be
Featured on New Amazon Streaming Kids Channel from Amazon Prime
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 Cartoon +
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 Amazon
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,
