Kid Genius Cartoon Channel Adds Bilingual Series LaGolda

BEVERLY HILLS: Genius Brands International has been ramping up the programming offer on its Kid Genius Cartoon Channel, which this month debuts the bilingual animated children’s series LaGolda.

LaGolda is executive produced by Judy Reyes (Scrubs, Devious Maids), George Valencia (Glow Ropes), Roselyn Sanchez (Devious Maids, Familia en Venta) and Eric Winter (Secrets and Lies, Witches of East End) in partnership with UnitedHealthcare’s Do Good. Live Well. volunteer initiative. The 6×20-minute series follows the story of an 8-year-old girl from Colombia and her team of fellow orphans as they travel around the world to play soccer and raise awareness about issues that affect kids globally.

“Judy Reyes and George Valencia, the creators and executive producers of LaGolda, share the Genius Brands commitment to developing engaging content with a purpose for young minds,” said Debra Pierson, the president of Kid Genius Cartoon Channel. “Reaching some 50 million homes throughout the U.S., not only does the dual-language component of the series serve to entertain both English- and Spanish-speaking children, it’s also teaching a second language to kids through immersive play while reinforcing the value of helping others at home and around the globe.”

“We are overjoyed that LaGolda will be offered through the Kid Genius Cartoon Channel across so many platforms here in the U.S.,” added Reyes and Valencia. “Not only will the program benefit from the great awareness the channel provides, but we’re also learning from our partners who are eager to share their knowledge and expertise. LaGolda now lives in an environment that appeals to parents who want more for their children, and to children eager to learn through fun and entertaining storytelling.”
