__________"If we do not protect and preserve the ocean kingdoms and her inhabitants, especially the vital lives of whales and dolphins, all life will perish. Then who will look with awe upon the monuments of man?" - JJK Executive Producer____________________________________________________
____________________________________________________Currentl
y, we are working on a beautiful CGI animation and publishing project for the children of the world about the oceans and whales called: "Whale Magic!" To date, more than $1 million have been invested in the research, development and pre-production. We are currently shopping it to studios and publishers here and overseas and private financiers. We have written a trilogy of animated movies for the project starring "The Prince and Princess of WhalesTM!" The first movie is entitled: "Whale Magic: An Ocean of Love!" Whale Magic was literally inspired from a misspelled word to Prince Chares and Princess Diana, The Princess and Princess of Wales! See Letter from Buckingham Palace below.____________________________________________________As
the creator and writer of the Project, I have been blessed to work with award-winning Hollywood writers with many television, animation and film credits, special-effects animators, producers, executive producers, authors, children’s book artists, educators, marine biologists, script consultants and many others to perfect and craft the The Royal Critters/Whale Magic Project into an exciting new franchise with global, commercial and environmental appeal, thus reaching a large spectrum of demographics and purposes.___________________________________________________
_Furthermore, I have done extensive pre-test marketing of our product at National and International entertainment trade shows with great success, including, but not limited to N.A.T.P.E. (National Association of Television Program Executives), L.I.M.A. 2006 (Licensing Industry Merchandisers Association), and most recently the 2007 International Gift Show. I have presented Whale Magic to more than 500 individuals in focus groups including investors, scientists, marine biologist, producers, animators, publishers, licensing experts, celebrities, educators, children and parents to insure we had a solid and viable product for many generations to enjoy._____________________________________________________W
ith the amount of time, money, marketing and energy invested in the Project, along with the extensive and unique creative material created with a commitment to excellence, plus the tremendous interest from entertainment and licensing professionals, and the recent milestones and progress we have made on behalf of the project, WHALE MAGIC is a business franchise with exceptional growth potential! The revenue streams for such a brand/franchise as The Royal Critters/Whale Magic Project from National and International box office revenue, non-theatrical releases, DVDs, music CD’s, multi-media content, publishing, toys, merchandise licensing programs, and educational and environmental programs can be tremendous as other proven brands on the market today. However, the potential profits can only be estimated at this time. John J. Kennedy, Creator, Writer & Executive Producer____________________________________________________
_
THE INSPIRATION FOR THE ROYAL CRITTERS-WHALE MAGICTM: When Prince Charles and Princess Diana, the Prince and Princess of Wales, visited the United States in 1985, I wanted to welcome Their Royal Highnesses to America in a special and personal way by sending gifts for their sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. I chose a unique gift for them, one that I thought they would like. Knowing that the British often use the cliché "ducky", I sent colorful T-shirts, coloring books, balloons and stickers of a cartoon character I created for the California-based earthquake preparedness program I initiated, "Richter Duck's Operation Quake-Quake". I inadvertently addressed the package to: Prince Charles and Princess Diana, The Prince and Princess of WHales and mailed it Express to the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. Unaware of the misspelling of their name, I was surprised and delighted to receive a Thank You letter from Buckingham Palace for my gift.
______________________________________________________
However, when I read the letter, I realized my royal faux pas! As a journalist and writer, I was rather embarrassed however, later I was quite amused by my mistake and thought that the concept of animated cartoon whales named THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WHALESTM, would make a wonderful parody for children. The genesis of THE ROYAL CRITTERSTM-WHALE MAGICTM was born that day, but I would not began to develop it for many years later. Today WHALE MAGIC has become a new brand franchise ready to be sold to the right investor(s) or studio with A-list Hollywood celebrities voices attached to the project! All because of a mispelled word! JJK

RLY YEARS: I studied journalism at Oklahoma University and have a creative writing background from Harvard University where I was honored to be invited, and attended their creative writing program based on the first short story I ever wrote, Chad Jarman is 40 Today! I was also invited back the following year on another short story I wrote. I love to learn and furthered my education in special studies on Entrepreneurship and Philosophy ("Secrets of the Great Minds") at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, and in 2003 became a Certified Television Producer. I have hosted and produced several 1-hour TV specials for cable television.

I continue to write many business, political and humanitarian articles when time allows._____________________________________________________

I am also an International Award-Winning Writer and Speaker. I was honoured in 2005 to receive an International Humanitarian Award from India for my letters and speeches promoting global peace. It was very touching to receive this award, to say the least. I simply believe in giving back and doing my part to make the world a better place for all humanity; for all life. And hope that you do too - whatever your heart or Spirit calls you to do! Very important! I have been blessed to have my life, work, speeches and life-giving messages reach millions of people around the world. "Noblis oblige."____________________________________________________
