Genius Brands International Inc (GNUS)

[tdeck]

I am personally happy to see all individual sku's get added that is what it is all about for me in the investment angle of this, as I see with the international broadcasting, different markets, etc. as the thing that makes a cartoon series more profitable as well as the VOD/AVOD's for the series itself.

But for me what I personally feel adds the most $$ (the real money) to the company in terms of the cartoon series (2 soon 3) is the licenses which as an investor I love royalties, and the more the better, when there are 300-400 skus I will want 500-600 as the cost of revenue is almost non existent it is just straight money, in that it doesn't cost you anything really.

Now as far as the value I place on different revenue streams for RR just my opinion is DVD's top of the list, I was very happy to see the first and then 2 months later the second. Then seeing they were selling well in the marketplace and started popping up in brick and mortars especially the likes of Walmart, Target etc. even more so.

Of the royalty items they have out now going forward these are the ones that will provide the best $$

DVD's
Books
Coloring Book's (a fave)
Everyday play clothes (t-shirts same reasons as you)
school supplies (cheaper price point of line the better pencils, erasers, etc)
edible cake tops
under $10 toys when they come not the expensive ones
costumes the lower end ones the first Walmart ones as the costumes have their holiday sales but they sell year round especially girls.
then the rest of the items about the same across the board

You can sell $75 worth of coloring books and more times over than you can single bikes, $75 bikes are good don't get me wrong as are $40 costumes etc. as they all matter they are all checks just coming in and as long as items grow the amount of checks grow and they never stop.


The first real and most successful licenser Walt Disney said he made money on all the toys, shoes, tricycles, bikes etc.

But where he got filthy rich as far as licensing was the lowest $ items
"every kid" items.

Because they could all get one and many like coloring books 3-4, from the richest to the poorest it was all about the numbers. Said he made more making pennies in licensing than he did in quarters or dollar bills.

Every kid can get a $4.99 book for xmas a 3.99 coloring book, later this year a pack of pencils or erasers, or a DVD get a $9.99 cake topper for their birthday etc.

So I love them all, just keep the stream getting larger (build that catalog), I don't care what they are, for me, that is "A" #1 the most important thing.


That is why I give them all their due as they all increase the bottom line some more than others but as long as they are increasing subscription services, VOD AVOD coloring books t-shirts vitamins costumes which had 5 designs 5 for the every kid and two made by Disguise for those whose parents had some more jingle in their pocket.

That is where I said everyone knows licening is way up 2019, in 2018 it is the only thing they had coming in and other than the Llama Llama books they had very little, a few stuffed animals and cool jack in the box. Other than that zero.

And this year starting in June with the DVD then the swimsuit then July then August it kept growing and still has right into the first 7 weeks of 2020.

And no one knows what they have/will get and will continue to get from it, just give it a darn minute. As long as money drivers big and small keep rolling out, it shouldn't matter they went from nothing in RR line to 4 books 2 DVDs 5 costume styles bookbag set t-shirts a bike their cartoons on how many video on demand services pajamas priced for every kid etc. We know licenses jumped very big in 2019 all prior to this, we have no clue what 2019 Q4 took in especially with all that new merch at xmas time and the DVDs in libraries alone, forget about it.

That is what is important its growing and you can see it for yourself, and they took that money in Q4 and turned it into 2 more DVD's for Feb release and for filming of Superhero Kindergarten to start. Casting completed October 21st, filming soon after, gonna be wrapping up soon, then there will be that and more Llama Llama books coming and more RR merch and LLama Llama merch and SK merch.

I understand you guys in a way, in a way, but I swear I cannot understand the I like this but.

If you two are married your wives have the patience of a saint, because I couldn't even imagine being around you two guys for a couple hours let alone years. If you only see bad, you miss the good. You should both kiss the ground your other halves walk on, just kidding, but not

Just give it a minute and every once in a while make post without a but, just be darn happy that day, week, month that you see revenue is growing with your own eyes. And let it grow.

Everyone have a great day,

by the way I haven't heard back from Macmillian, didn't expect too, none of these ever answer but I did see one site changed the publication date to January 7th 2020 which sounds right because the books came out mid Q4? and their publications dates all the same were like September 3rd? it is more than likely being printed now probably near completion.

I cannot find out a thing, about the author, I did the artist who does it on a computer on his twitter if you scroll down you can see where he got a new tablet for Xmas and wiped out a drawing in his style, and like I said the books have maybe 500 words I figured it had to be a error by someone having the 2022 date and if your an author whose first 4 books were in one month based on the cartoon series you would want to hit the ground running while RR was new and "in" for the moment. Not two years from now. The cover design artist is their too but has links to these peoples twitter webpages except Summer Green the author?

It goes to a page on Macmillian that say this

"Summer Greene has always had a passion for children’s books and for protecting the earth. She is thrilled to bring both passions together in her work on publishing for Rainbow Rangers."

I didn't find her on the net or anyone I thought even sounded like it could be this her?

McMillian by the way doesn't even list the book yet.
