Rainbow Rangers, the new animated adventure series for girls, which premiered on Nick Jr. on November 5th, continues to attract new licensing partners in Genius Brands International, Inc.’s “Genius Brands” (NASDAQ: GNUS) ramp up to the 2019 U.S. retail launch of the preschool brand.
Genius Brands’ SVP of Global Licensing Lloyd Mintz announced that the Company has signed four new licensing partners, including Cra-Z-Art for crafts and activities; Esquire Footwear for shoes and footwear; Integrity Vitamins, for developing a line of chewable, all natural, vegan, gummy vitamins for kids based on the colorful Rainbow Rangers characters; and Townley Girl, for a line of age- appropriate cosmetics and a variety of health and beauty products.
