Streaming video platform Youku has acquired the first season of animated children’s series “Stan Lee’s Superhero Kindergarten,” produced by and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The show is created by kids media company Genius Brands International and Stan Lee’s POW! Entertainment in association with Schwarzenegger’s Oak Productions. It will begin airing on Youku in March 2022, and will also be available via Tudou and Kumiao apps. “Stan Lee’s Superhero Kindergarten” is geared toward kids and families and focuses on the adventures of six unique kids who are learning to master their super-skills, along with their ABCs, with the help of their teacher, Arnold Armstrong. Schwarzenegger is voice-directed in the series by filmmaker John Landis, with Steven Banks, former head writer for “SpongeBob SquarePants,” serving as head writer for the series. The show premiered in the U.S. and Canada in April 2021 on Genius Brands’ Kartoon Channel! and has since garnered over 75 million views. Genius Brands plans to sell the series elsewhere in the world throughout 2022. (SD-Agencies) |
