The partnership will create and sell its own projects, but also hopes to recruit and mentor up-and-coming BIPOC animation talent

A strategic partnership has launched to create animated programming targeting black and indigenous children and families of color. The partnership is comprised of former Cartoon Network GM Brian Miller, comic and screenwriter Dan Abnett, long-time film executive Quincy Newell,and animation shop Team Legend Studios.

Newell, who founded Code Black Entertainment then ran the group focused on Black-oriented films for five years at Lionsgate, said the partnership has been cooking between the principals for a long time, fueled by a keen awareness of a hole in programming available for BIPOC families even in the vast sea of content available on streaming services.

“In the animation space, just like in the traditional content space, there's a lack of diversity, but in animation it's particularly severe,” Newell said. “We have the capability if we want to serve the market . But I think there's a greater opportunity when we move toward the family end. We do have a lot of adult content on primetime TV. We're saying, ‘Hey, here's our opportunity.

, providing a package of services and support to help make those projects happen, Newell said. Given the crush of streaming services, Newell said he expects the group will be able to find plenty of potential homes for its shows, especially as those streaming services branch out beyond the U.S. borders.

Family Sues for Damages Over Clubhouse Pool Swim Diaper BanJack Yeager and Simone Yeager claim their diaper-clad granddaughter’s civil rights were violated when she was ejected from the pool. So was she wearing a real swim diaper or a regular diaper that explodes when it gets submerged in water. I’m guessing the latter. And nobody is discriminating against your goddamn un-potty trained toddler running around in a close to exploding diaper full of pee and pool water I am never going to be in the same pool with a kid wearing diapers. Absolutely pathetic 🙄
