Boca Raton, FL – October 5, 2021- InvestorsHub NewsWire
- Grom Social Enterprises, Inc's (NASDAQ: GROM), Curiosity Ink Media – an emerging
pipeline for original multiplatform family entertainment – today
announced that it is in development on The Pirate Princess, a new, original
intellectual property (IP) franchise slated for global theatrical
distribution. The
Pirate Princess will debut
in Fall 2022 as an original graphic novel and serve as
a springboard for the film and other future ancillary opportunities
including publishing, a recurring series and consumer products. The
announcement was made by Russell Hicks, Curiosity Ink Media's Chief
Content Officer.
Curiosity Ink Media, which was recently acquired by Grom, is
quickly making its mark in original family entertainment that will
be expressed in a variety of content offerings. Earlier this summer
the company announced that it has begun production on
Baldwin's Big Adventure, a
new preschool franchise and has been tapped to develop the hit You
Tube shorts Cats vs.
Pickles into a recurring animated series. Additionally,
Curiosity also announced a multi-title publishing deal with
Dynamite Entertainment to create a variety of published content,
all aimed at the youth market. In November, the company will throw
open the doors to Santa.com, a virtual North Pole
featuring e-commerce and an original musical animated holiday
special that will serve as a companion to the
site.
The newest entry
from Curiosity, The Pirate
Princess tells the story of an infant princess who
washes ashore an island led by a no-nonsense but loving pirate
captain who, along with his motley crew, band together to raise the
child.
"The Pirate
Princess is a classic fairy tale with a contemporary
attitude," said Hicks. "It has the potential to
connect emotionally with audiences, offering unexpected twists on
timeless moral messages about family loyalty, staying true to who
you are, and being courageous. It will be a big screen musical
adventure that can be enjoyed by all ages."
