Children constantly look for new experiences as they grow and change. This search led us to our mantra, "Something new every day." It is a salute to Fred Rogers, the Pittsburgh legend who dedicated his life to making the world better for children. The success of the studio depends not only on our ability to adapt and change to the needs of our market, but also our creativity and continued devotion to novel entertainment.
