NEW INTERVIEW / LINK IN BIO - Award-winning creator of some of the most popular animated TV series of our time, including Babar, Little Bear, The Adventures of Tintin, Berenstain Bears, Franklin, The Magic School Bus, Beetlejuice, Inspector Gadget, and Arthur to name a few.

Michael Hirsh has written a tell-all book Animation Nation: How We Built A Cartoon Empire, featuring untold stories of the making of some of the most cherished cartoons of all time.

All in all, Michael Hirsh produced and created over 6,000 episodes of children’s TV programming. These programs ran on every children’s network and cable channel around the world — PBS, Cartoon Network, CBS, FOX, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, to name just a few. He understood the secret ingredient needed to captivate children with entertaining shows that parents would wholeheartedly endorse and enjoy.

In his book, Animation Nation: How We Built A Cartoon Empire is not just a memoir; it’s a celebration of the power of creativity and perseverance. Packed with humor and hard-won wisdom, Hirsh’s narrative is a testament to how passion and entrepreneurial zeal can build a global empire from humble beginnings. This book also contains some nuggets that every entrepreneur should learn when it comes to hiring the right people. #animation #animator #animations #film #movies #cartoons #cartoon #starwars #georgelucas #stevenspielberg #cinema #filmmaking #disney #merchandising #branding

Ukulele U is a CBC Kids Series aimed at making a difference. Please help us share the message of “Use Your Outside Voice,” written by ⭐️ @melaniedoane. We think it’s a great reminder for kids of all ages. ❤️

🎤 @isabelle.aboagye with @glee.dango @paxton.dance @waaseyaa_illiyana and @quintin_m_glasgow

Please follow @uke.u.kids 🌈🦄🦋

USE YOUR OUTSIDE VOICE

Let me hear you sing (Sing, sing, sing)
Let me hear you shout (Shout, shout it out)
Let me hear you laugh (Hahaha haha)
Let your feelings out
And I hope you know that

It can be your choice
You can keep it all inside
Or you can

Use your outside voice
Use your outside voice
Use your outside voice
Use your outside voice

Let me hear you cry (Boo hoo hoo)
Let me hear you shout (Shout, shout it out)
Let me hear you scream
Let your feelings out

Use your outside voice
Use your outside voice
Use your outside voice
Use your outside voice

We are excited to announce Ukulele U’s participation in Stand Up For Ukraine–the world’s largest global social media rally - alongside superstars such as The Weeknd, Celine Dion, Billie Eilish, U2 and Elton John to raise critical funding and humanitarian aid for global refugee support.

The campaign has gained a lot of momentum with a segment in the GRAMMY Awards driving viewers to join and take action in support of the campaign. The goal is to create a social media rally, advocating for world leaders to raise critical funding and humanitarian aid.

On Friday, April 8th, Celebrities, Music Artists, Pro Athletes and Actors will be posting videos and performances to support the cause. We are inviting our team members to support! Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is co-convening the pledging event on April 9th in Warsaw, urging government leaders to make significant pledges.

The talented children on Ukulele U, led by co-creator and Juno award-winning artist, Melanie Doane, are performing Paul McCartney’s iconic “All You Need is Love” as well as Justin Bieber’s, “Friends”, which will be released on April 8th . Their messages of peace and love are symbolic of Ukulele U, a sing-along musical variety show that brims with inclusivity and kindness.

The pronouns we will use
So tell us what to say
And we’ll try it all together, HEY

Live in harmony.

Everyone be free.
Everyone be free.”
