Bully! Entertainment Completes Animated Spots for PBS KIDS(R)

BALTIMORE, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Bully! Entertainment, a Baltimore-based animation and game design company, recently completed work on three animated spots for "Dot's Story Factory," PBS KIDS' new kid-created content feature that debuted as part of season two of the PBS KIDS preschool destination.

Created as donut spots, Dot, the PBS KIDS girl seen in various print and online materials, is shown in one of three opens, introducing herself and inviting the viewer to "take a look" at recent drawings submitted to pbskids.org via Dot's Story Factory. The opens are set in various household rooms and use a computer, a television and a printer to present kid-created drawings that make up the middle of the spots. The close for each spot returns to Dot who places a 'dot' in the pbskids.org Web address and encourages viewers to visit the site.

The second season of PBS KIDS preschool destination with Miss Lori and Hooper launched September 3 and features top programs CURIOUS GEORGE, SUPER WHY!, DRAGON TALES and CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG. As part of its new interactive platform, PBS KIDS is featuring kid-created content on-air and online in the form of stories and pictures. Designed for preschoolers and their parents, Dot's Story Factory is an age-appropriate narrative tool that supports the development of skills, and allows the creation of compelling stories that may be shared online and spotlighted on television. Children can also submit their stories via postal mail. For more information, visit pbskids.org/storyfactory.
