Marcus/Wiseman Entertainment Inc., announced
today that it has earned a Gold award for its children's
video, Cody's Crew - The Big Building from the
prestigious, U.S. based, Parents' Choice Awards program.

The award
The Parents' Choice Awards designation recognizes
products that meet and exceed standards set by
educators, scientists, performing artists, librarians,
parents, and yes, kids. The Parents' Choice Awards
Committees seek out and recommend products
that help kids grow - imaginatively, physically,
morally and mentally - and that are fun, safe, and
socially sound.

Cody's Crew is currently available through the
official Cody's Crew website: www.CodysCrew.com
and at retailers Mastermind, Top Banana and
Cinema 1.

At the official site, there are also profiles of the
characters, a preview of the Cody's Crew video and
a new print out activity every day (no sign-up or
registration required).

Cody's Crew - The Big Building, Created,
Written and Directed by Malcolm Marcus.
Executive Producer Lisa Wiseman. Distributed
by Marcus/Wiseman Entertainment Inc.
