MIPTV Spotlight: Genius Brands International

Jennifer Garner leads the voice cast of Llama Llama, a book-based animated series in Genius Brands International’s MIPTV slate.

Deb Pierson, the company’s senior VP of global content distribution and marketing, and president of the Kid Genius Cartoon channel, describes the show as “a beautiful, gender-neutral series for preschoolers that has been resonating with parents and young children since it premiered on Netflix.”

Debuting this fall on Nick Jr. in the U.S. is Rainbow Rangers, which Pierson says is “a unique and empowering adventure series targeting young girls.”

She adds: “This promises to be a banner year for us, with Rainbow Rangers and Llama Llama being delivered into the content and retail marketplaces in the U.S.”

Genius Brands is also actively seeking content for its Kid Genius Network digital platforms, including the Kids Genius Cartoon channel for viewers between the ages of 6 and 11, and the Baby Genius TV channel, geared toward toddlers to preschoolers.
