<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B>Andy Heyward</B>, Chairman &amp; CEO
of Genius Brands, stated: &ldquo;At Genius Brands, we continue to believe that the only way to create mega hits, and ultimately
build enduring mega businesses, is by hiring the most talented writers and producers that Hollywood has to offer. In Joel Cohen,
the Academy Award-nominated co-writer of Pixar&rsquo;s <I>Toy Story</I>, we knew we had found our talent. All of the great vehicles
that were in Shaquille O&rsquo; Neal&rsquo;s imagination, suddenly came to life as Joel told us who each one was, and precisely
why we would care about them. <I>Toy Story</I> has become not only one of the single most successful movie franchises in history,
but also a multi-billion dollar toy and licensing business. These phenomenon can only come forth from the absolute best that Hollywood
has to offer, who can create characters that kids of all ages can relate to and become engaged with. When we pair the heart and
humor from Joel, along with the directing brilliance of Mike Maliani, we are confident that <I>Shaq&rsquo;s Garage</I> is going
to become a major hit as well as a major entertainment franchise!&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><I>Shaq&rsquo;s Garage</I> will depict
the secret adventures of O&rsquo;Neal&rsquo;s extraordinary collection of animated cars, trucks, and automobiles. All the vehicles
in &ldquo;Shaq&rsquo;s Garage&rdquo; have unique attributes, intellects, and skills ranging from musical stylings, Shaq Fu, and
their mastery of the ultra-secret language of Shaqanese and the Shaqtionary. Whether in Sheijing on a secret mission or visiting
an ancient shrine in the lost city of Shaqmandu, each story will be as special as the vehicles and Shaquille himself.</P>
