1 Dare To Dream Exploration Planet Media Group

2 Key aspect of a new revolution will come from the further blending of talents from the movie, computer, music and electronic games industries, linking those abilities to good educational practice. But so far, traditional school systems have been left far behind in the race. -Gordon Dryden - Author of the Learning Revolution Exploration Planet Media Group

3 We have long held that the normal gap between what is generally regarded as entertainment and what is defined aseducation represents an old and untenable viewpoint. -Walt Disney Disney The Beginning of the Magic and the Marriage with the Media Walt Disney certainly knew a thing or two about public relations and promotion. In 1961, the Disneyland organization was about to embark on its most ambitious building project to date: the creation of New Orleans Square -- which included both The Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion. Walt wanted to insure that Disneyland remained: In the news. In the imaginations of the world's youth. And of great importance: That the cash flow would continue. To accomplish this, Walt did a number of things: First he launched a new television show -- "Walt Disneys Wonderful World of Color"-- with a new network (NBC). Then he introduced a new line of toys -- Disneykins. One of the main reasons the Disneykin line was created was to spread the allure of the Disneyland theme park. It is no coincidence that the tag line for Disneykins was "Put Disneyland in Your Pocket." Worldwide, the Disneykin figures were seen as traveling ambassadors for the Disneyland theme park and all things Disney. The early Disneykin television commercials showed a child placing a Mickey figure in a miniature Main Street USA setting and ended with the "Put Disneyland in Your Pocket" tag line. The show, "Walt Disneys Wonderful World of Color," was a cross-marketing promotional bonanza.

17 Special Broadcast Services: EP TV Today A morning broadcast very much in the tradition of adult morning programming such as the NBCs Today show. The working title for the program is EP TV. EP TV Today is primarily broadcast from various locations throughout Exploration Planet and resort, hosted by two child anchors, with special reports brought to you from time to time on location throughout the world. This service would be broadcast directly into the classroom providing children with up to the minute current and historical world events. EP TV Special Reports This service would also provide EP TV Special Reports. We have learned by the events of 9/11 that our children need information provided to them concerning events and tragedies that directly and indirectly effect them, but they need the information presented in a different manner. It is documented that many children seeing the planes fly into the buildings over and over again on the news could not understand and comprehend the replay and therefore believed that each time the event was replayed it was another plane and more deaths, just increasing the level of misunderstanding and anxiety. Teachers and parents struggled to find ways to comfort their children and create minimally an elementary level of understanding. We responded by keeping our children isolated and away from the broadcast of the event, but isolation breeds fear in children, just as it does in adults. EP TV Special Reports and its staff of educators would be able to disseminate this information and its presentation and provide it in a relevant and age-appropriate format for a child. EP Interactive would then be able to provide a direct link to counselors and pen pals to help children in their understanding and healing process. EP TV would also provide schools with access to our library of programming and complementary curriculum for inclusion in their classroom. Some curriculum will tie directly into our pre-show, The Exploration Planet Encounter, coming soon to their school, as well as multiple post show follow up curricula. Other programming will be available on demand for assistance tools in their own curriculum schedules. EP Interactive utilizes the strength of our marketing efforts through academic intellectual property and content development to capitalize directly on all of the high profile assets of the Exploration Planet brand.

18 Explore The Exploration Planet Experience International Expansion The Exploration Planet Media Group will apply its proof of concept to international marketing, creating small distribution outlets under franchise agreements that are turn-key and linked with broadcast outlets and licensing and merchandising products in major markets throughout the world. In 2009, the Exploration Planet brand will be positioned to license the live show franchising rights, television broadcast rights, home video rights and merchandising rights on the international market. WHAMO Entertainment, an international television distribution representative specializing in educational programming, is currently contracted to represent the international television broadcast right sales and home video distribution of products produced by the Exploration Planet Media Group. An international division of the Exploration Planet Media Group will represent the product licensing and merchandising rights.
