About Bolder Media for Boys & Girls
Our partners originally gave you great cartoons, books and movies including The Fairly OddParents, The PowerPuff Girls, Ella Enchanted, Russell the Sheep and many, many more. In September, our new show Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! will premiere on Nick Jr. And now we’re giving you even more shorts that we’re hoping are just as much fun.

Why all this?
We really love cartoons, and we remember how great it was watching them when we were kids. And now with the portable video that’s showing up in more and more homes, we thought that today’s kids would enjoy seeing some of the great cartoons that come around our office every day — right in their own hands.

Who picks what gets aired?
We do. Then you and your family vote on each short. Then we try to pick better next time.
