Calvin Coolidge once said, “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

Belly Button Buddies Announcement!!
We are pleased to announce that 13 episodes of the Belly Button Buddies™ for television have been delivered to our first window partners at SCN, and will be airing in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, on Saturdays and Sundays, at 8:30 and 14:30 until year end. We look forward to securing a broadcaster for the rest of Canada. Les Harris, of Canamedia in Toronto, is Executive Producer and will guide the Belly Button Buddies through the international distribution process. Canamedia will present the series in Cannes at MIP Junior in early October. There was significant European interest in the pilot for this series at MIP Junior last year. Yarto Entertainment, with offices in London, New York, and Hong Kong is handling the international licensing for the Belly Button Buddies.
The series is created for preschool children and their families, and it encourages old fashioned, physical, imaginative play. We hope parents and children will turn the television off when an episode is over, and create the props the children make in the shows. Check our website and Facebook page regularly for details.
