New Platforms Extend Series Reach Following YouTube Channel Launch Which Has Amassed More Than 4 Million Views to Date
BEVERLY HILLS, CA--(Marketwired - August 12, 2016) - Genius Brands International "GBI" (GNUS), a global content and brand management company dedicated to providing entertaining and enriching "content with a purpose" for toddlers to tweens, has signed a new licensing agreement with Kabillion® to debut its hit, music-driven YouTube tween series SpacePOP today on Kabillion Girls Rule!™, reaching more than 50 million U.S. households through multiple outlets, including Comcast, Time Warner, and Charter, among others. Kabillion Girls Rule! is a U.S. top-10 ranked free kids On Demand TV Network and the first and only On Demand network for girls.
The debut coincides with the launch of SpacePOP on GBI's Kid Genius VOD channel, available to approximately 22 million households across the U.S. through Comcast's (NASDAQ: CMCSA) Xfinity On Demand platform.
Commented Deb Pierson, General Manager, Kid Genius Channel, "Our YouTube launch of SpacePOP has already engaged millions of young girls with this colorful, lifestyle series, and distribution on Kabillion Girls Rule! will enable us to introduce millions more with their highly targeted audience of 6- to 12-year-olds, complementing our own distribution across the Kid Genius channel."
Added David Di Lorenzo, President, Kabillion, "We are happy to add SpacePOP to our programming line-up. This fun, short-form, music-based content is perfect for our tween audience of Kabillion Girls Rule!"
GBI forged new paths in the children's media space by utilizing YouTube as its initial distribution path for SpacePOP, which launched exclusively on the YouTube SpacePOP Channel on June 20th, 2016, and has already amassed more than 4 million views. Following the premiere of the first six videos, two new SpacePOP videos have been released on YouTube each week, as well as across other digital platforms, including Toon Goggles, PopJam and BatteryPOP. SpacePOP music is available from Sony Music Entertainment on iTunes and Spotify.
SpacePOP is comprised of over 108 x 3' serialized adventures, featuring original music woven into a narrative that follows five teenage princesses who disguise themselves as musicians and form a band while they secretly plot to vanquish an evil empress who is seeking to enslave the galaxy. SpacePOP offers a colorful blend of music, fashion, beauty, friendship and intergalactic adventures, resulting in an engaging lifestyle brand.
SpacePOP was developed with a best-in-class development and production team, including Emmy Award-nominated Steve Banks (head writer and story editor of Sponge Bob Square Pants) as content writer; Han Lee (Pink Fizz, Bobby Jack) for original character designs; multiple Grammy Award-winning producer and music veteran Ron Fair (Fergie, Mary J. Blige, Black Eyed Peas, Pussycat Dolls, Christina Aguilera) and his singer-songwriter spouse Stefanie Fair (founding member of RCA's girl group Wild Orchid with Fergie) for the original SpacePOP theme music; and veteran music producer and composer John Loeffler (Kidz Bop, Pokemon) for original songs.
The Kid Genius Network is a free, advertising supported On Demand service, which launched in October 2015, featuring GBI's innovative, original animation series, including Thomas Edison's Secret Lab, Stan Lee's Mighty 7 and Warren Buffett's Secret Millionaires Club alongside award-winning Baby Genius content and such classic children's series as ABC Monsters.For more information, visit www.kidgeniustv.com
