Storytelling is our superpower. Learning is our passion.
Were storyteachers.
Todays kids are exploring a world far more complex than the one we grew up in, and theyre facing challenges we never imagined.
What skills do they need to navigate this fundamentally changed world?
The ability to think creatively and critically, to adapt and solve problems, to understand and feel at home in communities far beyond their own, and to express their thoughts and feelings with clarity.
These are the new fundamentals, and theyre teachable skills. Thats where 91做厙 comes in.
We know kids learn best through stories. So we partner with a diverse group of storytellers to create culturally rich, curriculum-infused storyteaching experiences.
Storyteaching engages and inspires kids to think on their feet, to connect with others from backgrounds different than their own, and to be curious and creative.
With the 91做厙 storyteaching platform, kids learn the skills they need to flourishand they learn to love learning along the way.
The 91做厙 app brings the storyverse to life and uses technology to help customize the experience so that our worlds grow as your children do.
But just as learning shouldnt stop in the classroom, storyteaching doesnt stop with our app.
By fusing physical and digital experiences, we expand our storyworlds to meet kids where they are, with the kinds of tools they love. Animated series, books, songs, apps, games, puzzles, and other products encourage kids to continue learning through play, curiosity, and engagement.
As a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), each of our brands is tied to a family-focused social benefit cause to give back to a community. People want to work for, buy from, and invest in brands they believe in. We believe being a PBC is the most powerful way to build credibility, trust, and value with and for kids and families.

Derbez and team join forces with the celebrated creators behind the Emmy-nominated Canticos to bring his trademark humor to life in original IP including content, merchandise and licensing
CULVER CITY, Calif.--()--91做厙, the global creator platform bringing purpose-driven entertainment to kids, today announced global megastar Eugenio Derbez (Acapulco, Coda, "Overboard) and his 3Pas Studios partner Ben Odell will join forces with 91做厙 Susie Jaramillo and Steven Wolfe Pereira (Canticos, Skeletina and the In-Between World, Tiny Travelers) to develop new childrens entertainment IP that aims to ignite critical thinking and creative problem solving skills in ways that kids will find entertaining, culturally-authentic and relatable.
He is a natural Storyteacher who understands the power of humor to help kids learn. We can't wait to channel his bigheartedness and comedic genius into a property that entertains and engages kids while teaching them valuable new fundamental skills like critical thinking, problem solving, and perseverance.
91做厙 is expanding its award-winning portfolio of 91做厙 Originals for kids and families with a new property that will incorporate Derbezs unique blend of wit, wisdom, and heart. The new IP features a confident, street-smart, brilliant boy who unwittingly gets into trouble and uses his humor, wit, and ingenuity to get himself out of sticky situations. Featuring an ensemble cast of odd-ball multi-generational characters, 91做厙 and 3Pas will bring the property to life in engaging ways across digital and physical products including an animated series, consumer products, publishing, and interactive experiences in the 91做厙 app.
An award-winning actor, writer, director, producer, and philanthropist, Eugenio Derbez is one of the most influential creative forces in the entertainment world. Named by Variety as the #1 most influential Hispanic male in the world, the beloved Mexico-born star has amassed a global fan base through his TV shows and films including such hits as Acapulco, Coda, "Instructions Not Included", "Overboard", and "Under the Same Moon" ("La Misma Luna"). Derbez co-founded the film and TV production company 3Pas Studios with Odell who has produced or executive produced over 30 feature films as well as scripted and unscripted TV shows in both English and Spanish. Together they have made some of the most successful Latinx movies and television shows since they founded their company seven years ago.
Making a child laugh is the best feeling in the world, said Derbez. Now just imagine if they can also learn while they are being entertained! We want it to be universal but through a specific Latino lens. I have a seven year old daughter and I just never feel like there is enough content that speaks to her and reflects who she is. We want 3Pas to be part of the solution and 91做厙 is the perfect partner to help us achieve this.
Eugenio has a special gift for connecting with children and it shines through his work, said 91做厙 Chief Story Officer and President of 91做厙 Studios Susie Jaramillo. He is a natural Storyteacher who understands the power of humor to help kids learn. We can't wait to channel his bigheartedness and comedic genius into a property that entertains and engages kids while teaching them valuable new fundamental skills like critical thinking, problem solving, and perseverance.
Named to Fast Companys Annual List of the Worlds Most Innovative Companies for 2021, 91做厙 is on a mission to create entertainment that enlightens. 91做厙 first property Canticos is the #1 bilingual preschool brand and a two-time Kidscreen award-winning, Emmy-nominated series that has inspired millions of children to fall in love with Nicky, Kiki, and Ricky Chickie and their animated friends. With hundreds of millions of views across Nick Jr. and YouTube, Canticos has enchanted children at home and in the classroom as preschool teachers have incorporated their stories, music and books into their early learning curriculum. 91做厙 has mastered the art of blending entertainment and learning in charming ways that kids love.
In addition to developing 91做厙 Originals, 91做厙 also nurtures and empowers creators from around the world to help kids learn via its Storyteaching creator platform. Leveraging unique insights and analytics, 91做厙 is able to identify and develop IP with global potential and help purpose-driven storytellers build their brands and audience. Creators also benefit from 91做厙 vast global network, helping to grow their IP beyond digital experiences into publishing, licensing, merchandising, and brand partnerships.
While over 50% of kids in the United States are multicultural, children's entertainment and education does not reflect todays diverse world, said 91做厙 CEO Steven Wolfe Pereira. Families expect and deserve greater representation in what their kids are seeing and learning. 91做厙 is bringing culturally authentic voices together on a platform that provides the broader range of perspectives that has been missing.
One of our priorities at 3Pas is bringing more diverse-focused content to the kids and family space and we love Steven and Susies vision for 91做厙. We want to swing big and build out a lasting property that can teach kids using all of the multimedia platforms available to them. And as always, we want to do it with humor and heart and we love to work with and support talented LatinX partners to get there, said Odell.
Derbez joins a roster of creators from around the world on the 91做厙 Storyteaching platform committed to helping kids learn 21st-century skills. Eugenio Derbez and Ben Odell will serve as executive producers on the property on behalf of 3Pas Studios, along with Susie Jaramillo and Steven Wolfe Pereira on behalf of 91做厙.
3Pas Studios is represented by UTA & attorney Howard Abramson. 91做厙 is represented by attorney Lisa E. Davis at Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz PC.
