BEVERLY HILLS: Genius Brands International (GBI) has teamed up with The Lion King<\/em> director Rob Minkoff and Frozen<\/em> co-writer Shane Morris for the development and production of the preschool series Rainbow Rangers<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Rainbow Rangers<\/em> centers on seven magical girls from the other side of the rainbow who work together to save Earth\u00a0from an evil villain. The 52×11-minute CGI-animated\u00a0show will be produced by\u00a0Minkoff, with Morris also serving as a producer and head writer alongside Tim Mansfield. Key designs were created by Brittany Myers and Ruben Aquino.<\/p>\n

GBI expects to launch a Rainbow Rangers<\/em> special in fall 2017\u00a0and the full series in\u00a0spring 2018.\u00a0The company is also developing a global\u00a0L&M\u00a0and retail program for the property to coincide with the show’s\u00a0premiere.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are absolutely ecstatic to be working in collaboration with Rob, Shane, Tim and Ruben on developing this joyous, empowering adventure for little girls,\u201d said Andy Heyward, GBI\u2019s chairman and CEO, and executive producer for Rainbow Rangers<\/em>. \u201cThe creative genius being poured into this original and powerful property is already attracting incredible interest from all sectors of the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRainbow Rangers<\/em> is an exciting premise with fantastic characters and an incredible world,” noted Morris. “It’s also inspirational. It’s about the amazing power and strength of these seven magical girls. I truly enjoy writing stories that demonstrate girls can do anything, and when girls work together, well, anything is possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith two young children at home I’ve been exposed to a lot of TV animation lately and felt it was time to jump in with both feet,” stated Minkoff. \u201cThe appeal of a team of young girls protecting the planet is undeniable and couldn’t be more timely. Rainbow Rangers<\/em> is truly an incredible opportunity, and I\u2019m very pleased to be working with GBI\u2019s creative team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very eager to debut the concept to potential media, licensing and promotional partners at this year\u2019s MIPJunior,\u201d added Stone Newman, GBI\u2019s president of global consumer products, worldwide content sales and marketing. \u201cOur schedule is already fully booked, and we have no doubt Rainbow Rangers<\/em> will be a huge hit for us at the market.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
