"Laugh-Out-Loud Funny! An Adventure That Both Kids And Adults Will Love!"

- Janet Stokes, Film Advisory Board

SANTA MONICA – Doogal is just a shaggy dog with a sweet tooth, but when his world is threatened by evil ice-sorcerer Zeebad, he and his gang of wacky friends embark on a wild adventure and along the way learn that their most powerful weapon is their friendship! Genius Products, Inc. (OTCBB: GNPI) and The Weinstein Company present Doogal, a comical adventure for kids of all ages, available on DVD May 16, 2006. This all-CGI feature film is voiced by an all-star cast including Jimmy Fallon (Fever Pitch), Jon Stewart (“The Daily Show”), Whoopi Goldberg (Racing Stripes), William H. Macy (The Cooler), Chevy Chase (Caddyshack), Judi Dench (Mrs. Henderson Presents), Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King), Kevin Smith (Clerks), Daniel Tay (Elf) and singer Kylie Minogue.

Available for $28.95 SRP, the DVD will include both fullscreen and widescreen versions of the film and will include a “Making of Doogal” featurette.

Legend tells of three magic diamonds that when brought together can create a force powerful enough to freeze the sun. When the evil sorcerer Zeebad (Stewart) escapes from his ancient prison, he vows to exact revenge by deep-freezing the earth forever. Determined to save the world, a fellowship of four unlikely heroes band together to foil Zeebad's villainous plot. Led by the candy-loving mutt Doogal (Daniel Tay), friends Dylan (Fallon), Brian (Macy), and Ermintrude (Goldberg) all embark on an epic adventure to save the world. In order to find the diamonds before Zeebad, they must climb icy mountains, navigate fiery pits of molten lava, sail across vast oceans and pass through a booby-trapped temple guarded by an army of ninja skeleton warriors. But never underestimate the power of friendship and the forces of good over evil as these are strengths even Zeebad’s evil magic can’t destroy.
