10/12/2007 Kabillion and Little Director Turn Your Kids' Drawings Into An Animated Show

Take Those Pictures Off The Refrigerator And Bring Them To Life;
Now Children Everywhere Can Create Animated Movies Using Their Own Drawings

LOS ANGELES, December 10, 2007 - Your child's drawings can now come to life, as Kabillion, the new multi-platform kids' program service, has partnered with Little Director, creators of a new interactive animation technology which allows kids to create real animated movies from their drawings. Beginning today, Kabillion's free online broadband site (www.Kabillion.com) will enable kids to create drawings and submit them to Little Director (www.LittleDirector.com), where for a reduced fee, the drawings will then be converted into a short animated movie, complete with music soundtrack and in full color.

Little Director's proprietary technology takes a child's drawings and stories and produces an animated movie that can be shared with family and friends. The movies are viewable on Kabillion and can be delivered by mail on a DVD. Drawings created on Kabillion and submitted through their website can be developed into a 90-second film with two characters at a cost of $19.95 - a savings of over 50% off the standard price. Additional minutes and characters can be added for an additional fee.

"Kabillion was conceived with the goal of being thoroughly interactive with its audience," explains Bill Schultz, CEO of Kabillion. "The ability to now allow our audience to create their own animated movies online using the Little Director technology is yet another great step forward for us; I expect most parents will also get a kick out of seeing their kids' faces light up when their own creations come to life."

"It is gratifying to foster creativity and self-expression in children and encourage them to share their creations with family, friends and classmates," says Jim Mehta, CEO of Little Director. "Kabillion is a fantastic venue for helping us engage kids directly and getting them to use their incredible imaginations. If you thought kids loved animated movies before, imagine how great they'll feel as the creator of their own show" adds Royi Akavia, Little Director's Founder and President.

About Little Director
Little Director is the vision of Royi Akavia, an accomplished artist who studied under Salvadore Dali. As a means of further connecting with his son through their mutual love of cartoons and shared aspiration to create animated videos, Akavia initially developed interactive tools to convert a child's artwork as simple as a crayon drawing into an animated movie. Expanding on this concept, Little Director offers other automated tools that enable a child to draw, adapt images and music to create their own movies online. Little Director is the first honoree of the Animation Award of the Film, Recording and Entertainment Council.
