(NASDAQ:AMZN)—Amazon today announced it will premiere all 13
episodes the Amazon Original Series Wishenpoof on Friday, August 14
for Amazon Prime members in the US, UK and Germany. Created
by Angela C. Santomero (Blue’s Clues, Creative
Galaxy, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Super Why!), and produced
by Out of the Blue Enterprises, Wishenpoof is an animated
preschool series that revolves around Bianca (Addison Holley,
Annedroids, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood) as she solves life’s
problems in her own creative ways because with magic, or without,
we all have the power to make good choices. Wishenpoof is Executive
Produced by Santomero, Samantha Freeman (Super Why!, Daniel Tiger’s
Neighborhood, Creative Galaxy), Wendy Harris (Blue’s Clues, Super
Why!, Creative Galaxy), Steven DeNure (Hank Zipzer), and Anne Loi
(Chop Socky Chooks).
Wishenpoof is the newest Amazon Original Kids Series
supporting kids as lifelong creative learners by giving them
the life skills and mindset they need to lead
purpose-filled, creative lives. Bianca’s ability to magically
fulfill her friends’ wishes and creative instinct spark children’s
imaginations at an early age. The series also features guest vocal
talent Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills, 90210) as Bianca’s father,
and Priestley’s daughter Ava as Laurel. Hope Cassandra performs 13
ballads as the singing voice of Bianca.
“We’re excited to be debuting our next preschool series to our
customers who we hope will find Wishenpoof entertaining, playful
and inspiring,” said Tara Sorensen, Head of Kids Programming at
Amazon Studios. “Bianca is a great role model for younger children,
enabling them to take into account others’ perspectives and make
good choices.”
“Wishenpoof is one of these magical projects that has been in my
head since I was a little girl, so when I started writing, I didn’t
want to stop,” said Santomero. “The series is different than
anything currently on the air—with its expressive 3D character
animation and the rich multi-layered, textured designs and
environments—creating a vibrant, magical environment and featuring
an amazing anthem in every episode that complements the vision for
the show.”
Wishenpoof incorporates Families and Work Institute
President Ellen Galinsky’s (Mind in the Making) “Seven Essential
Life Skills” framework—life skills that help children reach their
full potential and unleash their passion to learn. Based on the
most rigorous brain and child development research, this framework
promotes executive function life skills like focus and
self-control, perspective taking, communicating, creativity,
critical thinking, taking on challenge, and self-directed engaged
learning.
