vdobug Navigator Launches With Line-Up of Multi Award-Winning Children's DVD Titles


MESA, AZ--(Marketwire - March 18, 2009) - Toy developer and manufacturer Playentertainment has launched vdobug Navigator, a DVD remote control device for toddlers and preschoolers that enables small children to choose and replay sections of a DVD without touching the original playback equipment.

Shaped like a lady bug, vdobug Navigator features ten buttons that correspond with 10 sections of the specially-authored DVD. The vdobug also sports a compartment for customized menu display cards which overlays identifying graphics for each of the ten buttons

Playentertainment will introduce the vdobug with specifically-produced DVD titles from a roster of three recognized preschool brands, including Baby Prodigy, the award-winning creator of infant developmental products that provide parents with quality, educational entertainment for their children from birth through the years of early childhood; Math Munchkins, a math program for ages 3-6 designed to help children strengthen the skills they need to be successful in all math subject areas once they reach elementary school; and Shushybye, a multi award-winning music and character-based sleep-themed lifestyle and entertainment brand that encourages toddlers and preschoolers to look forward to bedtime.

The DVDs will be authored specifically for the vdobug and sold separately.

Said Lawrence Meyers, Managing Partner of Playentertainment: "We are extremely delighted to introduce vdobug Navigator to retail, and to team with such honored children's content providers as Baby Prodigy, Math Munchkins and Shushybye to offer children and parents the many multi award-winning DVD titles from these outstanding content producers. The vdobug is designed to make DVD viewing for toddlers and preschools fun and easy, empowering young viewers with the ability to make their own choices to replay their favorite sections as often as they wish. Most importantly, because children learn best from repetition, the vdobug is the ideal system to enhance comprehension and subsequent learning."

Los Angeles-based MindGang, a full-service brand marketing agency headed by veteran brand executive Joel Margulies, is representing the retail marketing program for the new brand.
