Boca Raton, FL, January 31, 2024 – Grom Social Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: GROM) confirmed today that it will deploy key executives from its Curiosity Ink Media and Top Draw Animation subsidiaries at next week’s Kidscreen Summit– widely considered the premier kids’ entertainment industry gathering – to showcase its growing catalog of Grom-owned kid and family-centered intellectual property (IP) and animation production services. The announcement was made jointly today by Russell Hicks, President and Chief Content Officer of Curiosity Ink Media, and Paul Ward, President of Grom Social and Executive Vice President of Enterprises, both former Nickelodeon executives, who will lead presentations and meetings with several key decision makers from around the world.
Together, Hicks and Ward will spotlight Grom’s slate of IP and suite of animation production services offered through both its original storytelling division, Curiosity Ink Media, and Top Draw Animation, its 25-year-old Manila-based provider of premium animation production. The executives will be joined by various partners as together, they seek international distribution of their kid-first IP franchises intended to serve several key entertainment categories including theatrical-length films, recurring TV series, licensing, publishing, and several other potentially lucrative ancillary revenue drivers.
Among the offerings include:
● Santa.com - slated for global distribution (Fall, 2025), this upbeat and heartwarming original animated feature film reminds us all about the magic of Christmas.
● Hey Fuzzy Yellow! - curriculum-driven content, comedic cast of characters, and unconventional situational setups make this the perfect preschool series.
● Denver the Dinosaur - animated series reboot about a group of California kids who find and befriend a real dinosaur and team up to protect him from an unscrupulous promotor who hopes to exploit Denver’s novelty and rarity.
● Animation Production - Grom’s 300+ animation pros at the company’s studio in Manila, the Phillippines, produces animation for several leading international program suppliers.

“Without question, Kidscreen is the perfect marketplace to bring Grom’s dynamic catalog of offerings to partners in every facet of kids’ entertainment” explains Ward. “Leading the charge with a theatrical-length film, a dynamic preschool series, hit publishing, innovative licensing and superb animation production from Top Draw, our goal is to team up with best-in-class partners and serve the entertainment needs of today’s kids and families.
