Hello all,
Frederator Networks is privileged to be part of a vast network of creators of every race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. We’re firmly rooted in the support of creator-driven stories that come from personal, unique, and diverse perspectives.
We feel strongly about the injustices that the Black community is faced with. Black lives matter, and we stand with protesters against police brutality and the systemic racism that causes and enables it.All of us at Frederator have been having constant internal conversations educating one another, staying informed, and most importantly, planning how we can do more and do better.
We’ve decided that one of the ways is by making a donation to the nonprofit civil rights advocacy organization, Color of Change. We strongly believe in their mission to free all people from racism and injustice. This group is only one of many worthy organizations doing important work to create lasting change and equity for Black people in America, and we encourage you to continue to stay informed and get involved however you can.
To our Black network members, animators, employees, and fans - we support you, we love you, and we will continue to help you create lasting change in the world.
Sincerely, Fred
Frederator Networks
Building the future of global video networks.

wowunlimited: Frederator Studios, A WOW! Unlimited Media Company, announces all new episodes of supernatural success “Costume Quest” to debut on Amazon Prime Video on October 11. Followed by the premiere of a holiday special “Heroes on Holiday” on Novmeber 22. The latest Episodes to Join Next Generation Media Company’s Stellar Roster as Demand for Premium Animation Content Continues to Grow (New York, NY) August 29, 2019 – Costume Quest, the latest hit animated series produced by Wow! Unlimited Media’s Frederator Studios, announces the addition of seven brand new episodes that will premiere on October 11. Additionally, a 35-minute holiday special, Heroes on Holiday, will premiere on November 22. Coming off the heels of the series’ highly anticipated release earlier this year, seven half-hour episodes will debut as a continuation of season one on Amazon Prime Video this Fall. Part one of the series received immense critical praise, with Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times saying that the program “starts well and gets better, growing looser and more poetic,” while noting the detailed animation and “fresh” writing. Based on the eponymous video game series by Double Fine Productions (Psychonauts, Broken Age) and the world originally created by Tasha Sounart, Costume Quest is a funny cartoon mystery series tracking a team of four kids as they use their imaginations and a whole series of magical, transformative costumes to battle the sinister monster Bob Dickerson (voiced by Christopher McDonald) as he launches his diabolical plan to take over the sleepy town of Auburn Hollow. Heroes on Holiday, the series’ 35-minute holiday special, will kick-off the season when it premieres on November 22. Audiences will find out how Wren, Reynold, Everett, and Lucy put Christmas in jeopardy trying to balance the desire to experience their favorite Auburn Hollow holiday traditions with their responsibilities as heroes. “The debut of Costume Quest earlier this year thrilled fans of the cult hit video game as well as younger viewers just discovering the characters and story, and we are looking forward to continuing the adventure with these additional episodes, just in time for Halloween, followed by our festive holiday special” said Fred Seibert, CEO, Frederator and Chief Creative Officer WOW!. “Our talented team has done a great job of bringing the charm of the beloved video game to life through the series and we are sure fans will be excited to see what comes next.” Established by industry luminaries Fred Seibert, founder of Frederator and producer of all-time animation hits like Adventure Time and The Fairly OddParents, and Michael Hirsh, godfather of the Canadian animation scene and founder of Nelvana and Cookie Jar, Wow! Unlimited Media combines two of the biggest animation studios (Frederator Studios and Rainmaker/Mainframe Studios) and along with its bold vision, takes center stage in the emerging battle for animation supremacy. The company has rapidly built a strong production portfolio with a number of high-end properties, including Castlevania, a top-rated animation series on Netflix, ReBoot: The Guardian Code (Netflix) and Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures (with Mattel for Netflix), Bee and PuppyCat (Cartoon Hangover), Costume Quest (Amazon) and Spy Kids Mission Control (Netflix). About Wow!

Dreamworks Animation’s Mark Taylor joins Frederator, Rainmaker/Mainframe & WOW! Unlimited.
When Mark Taylor and I were both inducted to the Animation Magazine Hall of Fame in 2017, little did I know that he was contemplating his next steps beyond Dreamworks Animation Television and Nickelodeon Animation. We’d tried to work together at Hanna-Barbera, but later I was able to convince Albie Hecht at Nick that Mark was the perfect guy to supercharge the building of Nick’s new animation studio. We were finally able to work together for almost 15 years, on Frederator shows ranging from The Fairly OddParents to Oh Yeah! Cartoons, not to mention the original Adventure Time short.
Here’s what I said in our press announcement: “Mark’s extensive global experience and knowledge of all aspects of production make him the perfect addition to our team,” said Fred Seibert, CEO of Frederator and chief creative officer at WOW! “His collaborative relationships in the animation industry are ideal for a company like ours that always puts talent first.”
Given all this, imagine my thrill that Mark’s joined our team. You can read some more about his appointment here, here, and here.
Welcome Mark Taylor!

“Frederator loves you: Best of Frederator: Original Adventures in Cartoons, TV and Streaming 1998-2018″
Frederator Loves You: Best of Frederator on Scribd
20 years is a long time, and Frederator has a long tail. Of cartoons, for sure. Of streaming channels and networks. Of TV shows.
So for the last few months we’ve been putting together this 20 year, “best of” retrospective of what we’ve all been up to during that time. The paperback book itself is available on Amazon (238 pages, 488 illustrations for $29.99 (that’s 6¢ per illustration, 12¢ a page, not too bad). We printed it through Amazon’s on-demand system, and I have to say, the quality’s pretty good.
But, you can check it out for yourself here for free, to look at on your phone, tablet, or your laptop.
I know it might sound like some BS, but we couldn’t have done any of this stuff without you and your friends. Frederator’s fans watching what we do is what makes 20 years possible. Thanks so much.
Please, let me know what you think of our book. –Fred

“Channel Frederator Network Announces $1 Million Creative Fund To Support Its 3,000+ Members’ Projects“
Tubefilter: By James Loke Hale On October 1, 2018
Channel Frederator, the YouTube-focused multichannel network branch of the animation hub, has established a $1 million creative fund exclusively for members of its network.
Any of its more than 3,000 network members — including 5 Minute Crafts (35 million subscribers), Jaiden Animations (4.6 million), and Domics — can pitch a project to receive funding, which is intended to help creators “push the bar creatively,” the company says. Applications are available now, and all members of Channel Frederator can apply for the grant in the form of an internal pitch.
“When a network member joins us, we make a promise to help them grow, embrace their dreams, and strive for success with their careers on the YouTube platform and outside of it as well,” says newly-appointed director of networks Kenny Ash. “With this opportunity, we can work together and grow even further as a team and as a family. ”
Currently, the network’s members collectively have more than 140 million subscribers, and net more than 2.5 billion views per month. In addition to the just-launched fund, Frederator provides members with affiliate and sponsorship opportunities, YouTube tools, gaming and animation platform discounts, Patreon and marketing account management, a fast-track to pitch cartoons to Frederator, and a library of royalty-free assets.
