NCircle Entertainment Rolls Out First Set of Mighty Machines Titles

"Diggers & Dozers" and "Lights & Ladders": Big Machines for Little Tikes Hit Stores on May 15th

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla., May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NCircle Entertainment announced today that the first two Mighty Machines titles, "Diggers & Dozers" and "Lights & Ladders," are slated for release on Tuesday, May 15th. As part of the Company's multi-year U.S. DVD and digital format distribution deal with Seville Pictures, the children's series will be available at major mass market and specialty channels, including leading online retailers, national and regional supermarkets and drugstore chains. The 'Big, Fun' titles can also be found in select catalogs and non-traditional outlets, like hardware supply stores.

"We are eager to introduce these larger-than-life titles into the U.S. marketplace," stated Debbie Ries, Senior Vice President and General Manager. "We think Mighty Machines is poised to achieve the same kind of critical praise and sales success in the United States as it did in Canada, especially as we've witnessed growing excitement resulting from our preliminary talks with retailers. These titles are not only enormously entertaining, they are also very educational, teaching children about the world they live in."

Each DVD, featuring exciting live footage of friendly and informative characters, will have three episodes, plus four 5-minute bonus shorts, totaling 90 minutes of running time.

   "Diggers & Dozers" synopsis   Building, blasting and crushing!  It's all in a day's work for front-end   loaders, diggers and dozers!  Huge shovels dig foundations, a towering   crane builds a skyscraper, dynamite sends a smokestack crumbling to the   ground, and a colossal crusher grinds up rock.  So, grab your hard hat,   and let's get rollin'!    "Lights & Ladders" synopsis   It takes a lot of work to keep the city running, but these tough machines   are on the job!  Explore a real fire truck and see how it works.  Find out   where the garbage goes, and watch enormous tractors roll it into place.   Follow street sweepers and tall tree trimmers as they keep the city clean   and green.  It's off to work we go!   

Look for Mighty Machines' next title, "Roadways to Runways," scheduled for release in July 2007. For more information about NCircle or how to find Mighty Machines home entertainment, please visit www.NCircleEntertainment.com.
