Enchantimals: Spring Into Harvest Hills Trailer

Obie Scott Wade's career began at PBS station WQED/Pittsburgh where he contributed to the development of a slate of programs including Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego, and The Curious Shadow, a series concept developed with Dr. Donna Mitroff and Mr. Rogers company, Family Communications. Obie also helped spearhead the pubcaster's foray into location-based entertainment. He has served as experience architect for interactive concepts at LEGOLAND USA, Discovery World in Taiwan, The Tech Museum of Innovation in Silicon Valley, and other destinations. In 2001, Wade pioneered the creation of original internet content when he co-created and produced Julius & Friends with Paul Frank, the first animated web series for kids and families. Episodes of Julius & Friends were Official Selections at The Sundance Film Festival in 2001 and 2002. The series was distributed by Sony. Obie went on to write Baby Looney Tunes for Warner Animation, Al Roach: Private Insectigator for TCM, and several other animated properties. In 2008, Obie was invited to join INTER, a think tank funded by the U.S. Department of Labor tasked with crafting an experimental curriculum designed to teach people how to be creative. Obie served as the project's experience architect. The federal government was seeking a way to build a future workforce consisting of people who are more innovative. After years of developing and testing the curriculum across the US, the project proved one thing: it is impossible to teach people how to be creative. They either are creative or they aren't. In 2012, Obie returned to television and created SheZow, the animated series for kids 6-11. Distributed globally by Wildbrain and presented on Netflix Worldwide, SheZow chronicles the adventures of a boy bonded to a magic ring that transforms him into a female superhero. Considered a cult classic, SheZow was originally seen as controversial by several Christian groups including One Million Moms, the American Family Association, and The Catholic League. Obie continues to create and write episodic television and is the author of Oddry, a mid-grade novel about a young girl who was raised by hawks on the top ledge of a New York skyscraper. His mature comic book series, Shed, released in 2017, chronicles the rise of a new human virus, the experimental vaccine for which causes some recipients to evolve into a new breed of skinless hominid called Sarx.
