In an era dominated by endless scrolling, one production company is betting that the greatest adventure still begins when a child steps away from the screen. Big Screen Entertainment Group (OTCMKTS:BSEG) has officially moved its first animated children’s series into production, aiming to deliver a full season of content that actively encourages kids to go play outside.
The Los Angeles-based entertainment firm announced today that it has optioned an original animated property for distribution. The first season will consist of ten half-hour episodes, currently being built by BSEG’s newly assembled animation and production teams. Rather than rolling out episodes weekly, the company plans to release the entire season at once across most major streaming platforms.
“I grew up exploring the forest with my friends, and I wanted to give today’s kids that same magic, the kind I fell in love with in C.S. Lewis’ Narnia, in a show that reminds them the best adventures happen when you put down the device and go outside to play,” said Kimberley Kates, the show’s producer.
Also worth a look: In Jerry L Lane’s thriller, a reporter uses analog tech to fight an AI mind takeover and Relevant DS and Screendollars replace paper movie posters with digital lobby campaigns.
“There’s a whole world of wonder waiting just outside the front door. I wanted to create a show that inspires kids to go find it,” Kates added.
The series title, its official release date, and additional details have not yet been revealed; those announcements are expected at a later time.
Big Screen Entertainment Group (OTC: BSEG) is a Los Angeles-based entertainment company that produces and distributes motion pictures and entertainment content.
Why it matters: This project signals a deliberate shift in children’s programming, using the streaming medium itself to deliver a message about unplugging from screens. If successful, it could carve out a new niche for entertainment that treats the outdoors not as a backdrop, but as the main character.
