2020 &ndash; Genius Brands International, Inc. (&ldquo;Genius Brands&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) (NASDAQ:GNUS), the global
brand management company that creates and licenses multimedia entertainment content for children, today filed a definitive proxy

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">Dear Shareholders,</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">Today<B>&nbsp;</B>we
filed a definitive proxy for a special meeting of stockholders to be held&nbsp;on Thursday, August 27, 2020. The purpose of this
meeting is to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Genius Brands International, Inc.
common stock from 233 million to 400 million shares, and to adopt our 2020 Incentive Plan.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"><B>Let me explain
why we are doing this &ndash; and why your vote is important.</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">I want to make
sure that all our shareholders understand exactly why we have proposed this amendment and Incentive Plan, and why we are confident
it is in the shareholders&rsquo; interests. The purpose of these new shares will be to take advantage of unusual current opportunities
to acquire assets in the consolidating entertainment space, which will be <B><I><U>accretive</U></I></B> to the company. It will
additionally, enable us to attract, motivate, and retain qualified individuals upon whom our business and accretive growth strategy
to create value, depends.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">Normally, people
associate the issuance of shares with dilution, however when the dilution is accretive, the benefit to the company is exceeded
by the acquisition of the asset, and is <I><U>greater than the dilutive effect</U></I>. That is the primary purpose of having these
new shares available.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">I speak not only
as your Chairman and CEO, but as one of the largest shareholders in the company, whose interests are fully aligned with those of
our shareholders of common stock to create value. We have only one class of voting stock, it is common stock and mine is the exact
same as all other shareholders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">Today, there is
great consolidation going on in the entertainment industry.&nbsp;There are valuable program and distribution assets available and
a smart company able to be nimble, can acquire them on extremely attractive terms, and may witness values that might not be available
for a long time.&nbsp;The Genius common stock is a valuable currency that I believe will enable us to do that.&nbsp;</P>

today for Genius Brands as well, which can be equally as important for our own growing company. The preponderance of the proposed

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">Separately, the
2020 Incentive Plan will enable us to retain and motivate the qualified individuals upon whom our business and accretive growth
strategy depend, as well as attact new employees with accomplished pedigrees, to further support our growth strategy. I have often
spoken about the caliber of our management team, and its pedigree from the top of the most successful companies in Hollywood.&nbsp;I
also want to draw attention to the pedigree of your Board of Directors.&nbsp;We have the former Managing Director of Entertainment
at J.P. Morgan, one of the largest banks in the world, with a leading global media mergers and acquisitions practice.&nbsp;We have
the former Governor of California, the former President of ABC Entertainment, and the former Head of Entertainment for Bear Stearns.
Margaret Loesch, the former President of Marvel Entertainment and Founder of FOX Kids, which was eventually sold to the Walt Disney
Company for $5.5 Billion dollars, David Neuman, the former President of Walt Disney Television, and Caroline Tyre, who launched
Cartoon Network Canada, is the leadership team that recently has brought Kartoon Channel! into the marketplace. Just a week ago
we announced the launch of Kartoon Channel! on iOS with the debut of an all-new dedicated Kartoon Channel! app, available free
on Apple iOS &ndash; to a stunning reception. In just the first 24 hours of availability, our app reached the Top 10 for kids and
received thousands of 5-star ratings. <U>This is the kind of talent that is joining Genius Brands to lead our growth strategy going
forward.</U> Having them motivated with common stock like us all, is the best tool for talent acquisition and retention.</P>

shareholder, I can say wholeheartedly that my interests are aligned with our shareholders to create value, and all of us in management
and your board are committed to doing what&rsquo;s in our shareholders&rsquo; best interests.</P>
