<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.,
August 13, 2020 -- Genius Brands International, Inc. &quot;Genius Brands&quot; (</FONT><FONT STYLE="color: #324FE1">GNUS</FONT><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">),
the global brand management company that creates and licenses multimedia entertainment content for children, released a letter
to shareholders from Chairman &amp; CEO Andy Heyward. The complete letter follows:</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Dear Friends and Shareholders,<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
<B><I>SpongeBob SquarePants</I></B>, in my opinion, is the most clever and well-written children&rsquo;s series of the last 20
years. I share this because at Genius Brands (NASDAQ:GNUS), we hired that <I>same head writer</I> of SpongeBob, <B><I>Steven Banks</I></B>,
to be head writer of <B><I>STAN LEE&rsquo;S SUPERHERO KINDERGARTEN.</I></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">After reading the &ldquo;Pilot Episode&rdquo; of the series,
I&rsquo;m more excited than ever about <I>Superhero Kindergarten</I> becoming a mega-hit and pillar of enduring value for Genius
Brands. <B>In fact, we are <I>so excited</I>, I&rsquo;m sharing the &lsquo;Pilot Script&rsquo; and the &lsquo;Series Bible&rsquo;
for everyone to read and enjoy.</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Studios generally don&rsquo;t share their scripts or their work
products before they come out. In fact, it&rsquo;s extremely unusual. They don&rsquo;t want to be ripped off, or tip their hands
to the competition. However, at Genius Brands, we think that <B><I>Stan Lee&rsquo;s Superhero Kindergarten</I></B> is so <I>superior</I>,
that it would be very, very, hard for anyone to catch this fast-moving bullet train. The team crafting this show, in my opinion,
is the very best out there. Kartoon Channel!&rsquo;s Chief Content Officer, David Neuman, is personally giving script notes and
supervising a punch up of the scripts. (Previously, as President of Walt Disney Television, and subsequently as VP of Comedy at
NBC, David rode shotgun on such major hits as <I>Home Improvement</I>, <I>Boy Meets World</I>, <I>Golden Girls</I>, and <I>The
Wonderful World of Disney</I>.)</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">From our multi-Emmy Award-winning animation director, <B>Mike
Maliani</B>, to celebrated film director <B>John Landis</B>&mdash;who will be directing <B>Arnold Schwarzenegger&rsquo;s </B>voice,
and the best kids&rsquo; voices anywhere&mdash;<B><I>Stan Lee&rsquo;s Superhero Kindergarten</I></B> is one of 5 tentpoles of value
being built at Genius Brands (below), and we are sure that when you read the <B>Pilot Script</B> and the <B>Series Bible</B>, you
will agree.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Each of the below, we believe, will be powerful revenue and
earnings drivers going forward. Here is a quick update for you to know why our team is so confident.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

for Kids, but Free.&rsquo; Since we went live on June 25, we have had tens of thousands of viewers sign up for the programming
service which is available in over 90% of U.S. TV households in over 100 million homes and on over 200 million mobile devices.
<U>We continue to grow every day</U>. Within the first 24 hours, the iOS app has had thousands of downloads and the reviews in
the APP STORE have been 5 Stars***** (even Disney+ has only 4.7 Star reviews.) We are amidst migrating the iOS interface to all
of our other platforms, including Android and Roku, among others. (Today,with that same User Experience, KARTOONCHANNEL.COM WENT
LIVE!!!) We continue to curate the content, so parents know it will always be safe for their kids, and we strive to put as much
enriched content as possible on the air, from which children can actually <I>learn as they watch</I> and are entertained. No violence,
no improper language, no negative stereotypes. It is inclusive, it is diverse, and always with positive messaging. <I>The stars
in our shows are diverse and look like real-people</I>. The shows we run on Kartoon Channel! are proven hits like <I>Baby Einstein</I>,
<I>Yu-Gi-Oh</I>, <I>Babar</I>, <I>Angry Birds,</I> and <I>Llama Llama</I>, and we recently added <I>Rainbow Rangers</I> which is
currently our #1 show on the channel. We add new content each week, and it is curated under the leadership of Margaret Loesch,
<I>who has been responsible for more network hits than any person in children&rsquo;s broadcasting history</I>. (She goes back
to <I>Smurfs</I>, <I>Muppet Babies</I>, <I>Power Rangers</I>, <I>Spiderma</I>n, <I>X-Men, My Little Pony</I>, and many, many, more).</TD></TR></TABLE>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">Kartoon Channel! is an AVOD channel, which means it
is fully on-demand, but we will also start adding a linear segment as well for those who like to visit scheduled series. We are
more confident than ever that Kartoon Channel! is going to change the face of kids broadcasting as we announce innovative products
that will soon appear on the channel.</P>

the #1 biggest movie of all time, the <B><I>Avengers Endgame</I></B>, we know we are sitting on a treasure chest of huge creative
wealth and we are carefully putting the pieces in place to unlock it. Believe me, the industry has taken note, and we have had
multiple inquiries from the most important companies in media and retail seeking to participate. <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">Chairman
of the Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, recently said</FONT><I>,</I> &ldquo;Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created.

by retailers that there would be a vacuum in pre-school girls&rsquo; products at this time. We brought on three of the most successful
creators in Hollywood&mdash; Rob Minkoff, Director of Disney&rsquo;s <B><I>Lion King</I></B>, Shane Morris, Co-Writer of Disney&rsquo;s
<B><I>Frozen</I></B>, and Elise Allen, Head writer of Disney Channel&rsquo;s <B><I>Lion Guard</I></B>. Together, they created a
masterpiece for us as we pivoted away from girls shows about princesses and instead went to empowered aspirational girls who care
about our planet and fixing it. The <I>Rainbow Rangers</I> are a diverse group of girls who live on the other side of the Rainbow
and their mission is to protect the planet and its animals. We describe it as a &ldquo;<I>Paw Patrol</I> for girls.&rdquo; <I>Paw
Patrol </I>became a multi-billion dollar business, and that is what we are shooting for with <I>Rainbow Rangers</I>. Mattel/Fisher-Price
is our master toy licensee, and toys have just come into the market. In fact, the small initial burst sold out immediately, and
we are waiting for replenishment to occur this month. The toy commercials will start up immediately as soon as products are in
stock at Walmart and Amazon. In the meantime, we have products of virtually all kinds licensed&hellip; over 375 SKUs, including
publishing, apparel, sleepwear, bikes, swimwear, party goods, costumes, games, etc. We have moved the show on to <B>Kartoon Channel!
</B>as well as Nick Jr. and we have high hopes for its performance. By the end of the Christmas season, we will have a good idea
if we have the hit we believe we do.</TD></TR></TABLE>

program for that as well, which we share with the author and Penguin Books. There are over 30 million <I>Llama Llama</I> books
in print, and we are confident that they will drive continuous global catalog sales as well as consumer products from which the
company enjoys a robust royalty. <I>Llama Llama</I> is joined by other shows like Warren Buffett&rsquo;s <I>Secret Millionaires

There are several hundred shows in our catalog and taken together, they present a powerful asset which will be continuously licensed

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">Genius Brands is in an extraordinary financial position
today. Our balance sheet is pristine. We have ZERO debt, and over $50 million in cash. We run an efficient and lean organization,
and we have low overhead. Particularly so vis a vis our competitors. We have substantial receivables and substantial assets which
are poised to begin throwing off cash from global program sales of shows already produced and painstakingly paid for over the last
few years, as well as a large number of consumer products licensees who pay us royalties for our characters appearing on their
products. We expect to start seeing the fruits of all of this in Q1 2021, as well as ad sales from the growing Kartoon Channel!
starting to now come online.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">It is an exciting time for Genius Brands, but it is important
for our shareholders to recognize that we are not in a business that reaps fruits overnight and to temper their expectations. We
are building animated intellectual property for children. The same way that Disney, Marvel, or Warner Brothers has done. We have
accelerated the process, for sure, and are moving with tremendous speed, but a 3-minute egg cannot be cooked in one minute, no
matter how many burners are cooking. We have now planted the seeds and we have every confidence that they are going to pay off.</P>
