Cover Our cover this month features an ad for Paris, France-based Cyber Group’s new animated series, The Chronicles of Zorro.
Oops! Regarding May/June’s TV feature, “The Russian Evolution” (pg. 18), we’d like to note that Mr. Ilya Popov is CEO of The Riki Group and president of The
Russian Animated Film Association (RAFA). And in that same issue, “A Whole New Channel” (pg. 22) should have stated that Disney Channel rebranded its
Playhouse Disney morning block last year, and the new US 24-hour Disney Junior channel launched in March, joining 29 Disney Junior channels worldwide.
