LOS ANGELES, May 01, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Kidtoons, a division of The Bigger Picture, an AccessIT company (NASDAQ: AIXD), in conjunction with Genius Products and Sesame Workshop, the non-profit educational organization behind Sesame Street, presents SESAME STREET: DINOSAURS, making its theatrical debut in May 2008 as part of Kidtoons' family matinee series at movie theatres across the United States through Kidtoons' digital cinema network. Participating theatres include National Amusements, Abingdon Cinemall, Allen, Atlas, Emagine, Marquee, Neighborhood, AccessIT's Pavilion Theatre, Rave Motion Pictures, Republic Theatre Group, Showplace and UltraStar.

Starring Elmo, one of the most popular children's characters in the United States, Telly Monster and Sesame Street's fairy-in-training Abby Cadabby, this theatrical premiere invites pint-sized paleontologists in training to use their imaginations to learn more about the earth's ancient inhabitants. Digging up the facts, SESAME STREET: DINOSAURS teaches important basic concepts - such as what dinosaurs looked like, what they ate and how they moved - and asks creative, thought-provoking questions such as "What would happen if Elmo, Telly and Abby became dinosaurs?"

SESAME STREET: DINOSAURS is the latest theatrical matinee to be released by Kidtoons, which specializes in bringing new, G-rated movies to theatres for kids and families at weekend matinees at cineplexes around the country. With a different movie released each month, along with music videos and cartoon shorts, Kidtoons provides parents with a reliable source of kid-friendly entertainment on the big screen. To further the fun and games, KIDTOONS often gives out stickers, temporary tattoos, activity books or toys as children leave the theater. Each movie plays every Saturday and Sunday for one month, with a new movie every month, providing year-round family entertainment.

By allowing the parents of children 3-8 to enjoy the theatre experience without worrying about noise or fussing, KIDTOONS is introducing a whole new audience to the theatre experience!

"The Kidtoons G-rated weekend matinee program gives today's busy families the ability to share quality time together at the theatre," said Michele Martell, COO of Kidtoon Films and The Bigger Picture. "We are thrilled to bring Sesame Street, one of the most popular children's properties of all time, to our family audiences."

Recent Kidtoons movie events include Care Bears Grizzle-ly Adventures, Strawberry Shortcake Let's Dance and Bob the Builder: On Site - Roads and Bridges.
