Explore the 'power of the funny' to change everything for kids and why it's so important for content makers to chase the chuckles.

"From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere. Laughter is the closest distance between two people." - Dr. Seuss

Cartoons make us laugh, and laughing changes everything. We feel differently, we see differently, we believe that anything is possible. It literally shakes us up.

Comedy smashes through the walls between humans, and brings us together with feelings of the warm and fuzzy kind. Could there be a better place from which to understand the world and all the different viewpoints in it? Could there be anything more important to create for young audiences?

Join this lively, quirky panel for a very grown up, serious, not one bit funny conversation about the funny and the power of the funny to change everything. The panel of standups will share how coming at comedy from a different view, creates … a different view that makes the world better for ourselves and our audiences.

Animation doesn’t just teach kids that it’s OK to be different – it shows us that it’s better to be different. As Winnie the Pooh once said, “The things that make me different are the things that make me.”
