Secret Histories of Nerd Mysteries: Ep. 56: CINAR/Cookie Jar, once the largest distributor and creator of children’s media in the world

Episode notes

What a wild break (no goes to the movies for July, sorry), but Brenda and Austin are BACK.   Nerd news comes in hot with Scarlet Johansson suing Disney over breaking her contract, and beloved children’s cartoon Arthur announcing that it’s ending its run after 25 years.  That leads into the topic that Austin has brought for us this week:  A deep dive into a Canadian entertainment company Cookie Jar that was once one of the largest creators and distributors of children’s media in the world.  If you don’t think you’ve heard of them, yes you have.
