Lionsgate Adds More To Family Entertainment Line
(released
4/9/2008)
By Douglas Lorah
Lionsgate added another notch to its family home entertainment belt last week when it made an agreement with well known LeapFrog Enterprises and producer Chris D'Angelo. Together, they will develop, produce and distribute direct-to-DVD features.
The multi-year deal provides Lionsgate with worldwide rights in all territories except China. In addition, Lionsgate has acquired the home entertainment distribution rights to LeapFrog's valuable catalog, all of which were created and produced by Chris D'Angelo and have sold over 4 million units through just five DVD releases. The rights will begin to transition to Lionsgate in 2009 as they become available.
Just a week prior, Lionsgate acquired North American distribution rights to HIT Entertainment's family entertainment library.
