/24-7PressRelease/ - NEW YORK, NY, March 20, 2007 - What do you get when you link two fathers armed with over 35 years of combined multi-media experience; a few years of parenthood; a team of talented artists and a desire to create a product that promotes a positive image and a love for knowledge? The latest in children's edutainment... Teddy P. Brains!
A 3-D animated series complete with hip music and non-stop adventure follows Teddy, along with cousin Tempest and dog, D'Artagnan through space, time and around the World with the help of Teddy's magic diploma and rocket ship, The Boundless Explorer.

"It was the desire to produce quality entertainment that drove us to start our company and parenthood that inspired this project," said Eugene Haynes, co-creator of Teddy P Brains and co-founder of Fourth and One, the company that produced Teddy. " I knew the birth of my daughter would change my life, but the way it impacted my life professionally is amazing because Teddy P. Brains has put our company in the middle of the knowledge-entertainment revolution, a revolution that will include a positive self-image of African American youth."
The inaugural DVD, Journey Into the Rain Forest, will launch April 24th but can be reserved immediately on www.teddypbrainstv.com. The website will also have interactive games, coloring books, lesson plans for educators and a way for each and every student to earn their very own "magical" diploma.
"Teddy P. Brains will be to our children what other cartoons with a message like Fat Albert and School House Rock was to my generation," says Kimberly Hodges Ross, owner of KHR Creative, a marketing and media firm. "Ask me anything about the history, science or social skills I learned in 3rd grade, I could not tell you, but the life lessons learned from Fat Albert and the knowledge-infused songs from School House Rock I remember to this day." She goes on to say, " Teddy P. Brains has that kind of staying power, this series is unforgettable!"
The creators are also reaching out to knowledge seekers of all ages to ask, " Where should Teddy go next?" For more information or to offer suggestions, visit www.teddypbrainstv.com.
Educators are also finding the series a useful teaching tool.
"Teachers and parents alike will find this series a new and exciting way to teach their children subjects such as geography, history and science," said Curtis Hamilton, President of New York State Head Start President Association. "Combine the DVD with the tools on the website that support it, and not only does the lesson become easy to retain, but memorable."
