Cross-Media + Transmedia Entertainment

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” - Dr. Seuss

Some Links on Kids Entertainment

I’ve been asked from a few sources about what works I’ve come across that are Quality Kids Entertainment. The following is a list of such works, however, many I have not viewed first-hand (TV shows) and so I cannot attest to their quality. Just about all, however, I’ve read reviews on or noticed they’ve won awards, or I think they’re innovative. They are also for different age groups.

Degrassi (Can)

Angela Anaconda (Can)

This is Daniel Cook (Can)

‘To Love Veronica Bee’ is a book by Sarah Boland that has an accompanying
website that readers can contribute too. It is not available OS but I
think it is a good example of a cross-media work using print. (Aus)
