New Kids TV Series MACK & MOXY to Premiere on Netflix Streaming 10/1

Mack & Moxy, a new kids' TV series produced by Socially Dynamic Entertainment in association with Bardel Entertainment and 12 national charities, will begin streaming on Netflix October 1 st.

Mack & Moxy features Mack, a lovable moose-like lummox, and Moxy, a feisty whirlwind of a raccoon/fox-inspired go-getter, who find engaging ways to help younger kids (ages 3 7) become more empathetic and learn about important issues such as Autism inclusion, literacy, hunger, wildlife preservation, emergency preparedness, STEM Education, the power of play, National Parks and the great outdoors, seat belt safety, physical fitness, eating healthy and more. These important issues are explored with a combination of animation, live-action and engaging music in relatable 14-minute episodes in which Mack and Moxy, together with a helpful Trooper, set out to rescue another Great Helpee in a far-off mystical place called HelpeeLand.

The series emphasizes the concept of empathy, celebrates the joy of helping others and teaches kids life-long lessons of charity and compassion. The series has been rolling out on PBS stations this year, with a 300% increase in airings between August and September thanks to the producers securing high-profile stations including KLCS in Los Angeles and WETA in Washington D.C. Now, to add to the momentum and just in time for National Bullying Prevention Month in October, Mack & Moxy will be available to families everywhere streaming on Netflix beginning October 1 st.

Series creator Brahm Wenger has an extensive record of developing quality kid's entertainment with Disney and Air Bud Entertainment. Wenger and his partner Alan Green (who co-authored the award-winning "Dewey Doo-It" book series together) set out to create a children's series that would be like nothing else on the air. "Kids can be inundated with media and news that can seem very troubling and this can be scary and confusing for the younger citizens of our community. That's why we wanted to give kids a ray of hope. Mack & Moxy shows them that, no matter how young they are, they can begin to make a difference by looking outside themselves to a shy classmate who might just need a friend or by volunteering with their parents at a local food bank or library."

Through their passion for this project, Wenger and Green were able to enlist a remarkable line-up of high-profile charity partners and celebrity guests who are enthusiastic about working together to makeMack & Moxya trulyauthentic (but fun!) learning experience. Each segment is developed with a charity partner who lends their expertise to crafting the subject matter in a way that is accessible to younger children. Celebrity guests, thrilled to be involved with this project, make cameo appearances in each episode to help Mack & Moxy on their adventures. Celebrities for Season 1 include Keegan-Michael Key, Josh Duhamel, Kal Penn, Dean Norris, Eva LaRue, Rachael Ray, Matt Lucas, Melissa Fumero and Hank Azaria (who voices "Shelfish Sheldon," Mack and Moxy's nemesis).
