(Omaha, Nebraska) A small Nebraska-based film
company has released what it calls the first animated series featuring a family
made up of two moms.
"Buddy G - My Two Moms and Me" a five
year old boy named Buddy who loves science and solves daily problems with the
help of his sidekick "Socrates," an armband computer with Internet
capabilities.
In addition to Buddy G's 2 moms, the cartoon
includes a 7 year old next door neighbor "Owen," who is fascinated
with Elvis.
In the premiere episode, The Lost Rings, the boys
learn the value of being truthful while picking up some facts from Socrates
about the science of metal detectors.
The series was created by Margaux and Donna
Towne-Colley who say it was inspired by the birth of their own son.
"It took longer, cost more and was way
harder then we thought it would be, but we couldn’t be happier or more proud
of the cartoon and the potential it represents" said Margaux Towne-Colley.
"While today's children have ready access to
literature depicting families headed by parents of the same gender, this is the
first time that children with two moms or two dads will able to see the star of
a show with a family just like their families," she said.
Future episodes will include a variety of
families including those with 2 dads.
Even though the series was designed for children
with gay and lesbian parents, the Towne-Colleys say the show is great
entertainment for all families.
The premiere DVD can be ordered from the
cartoon's website: http://buddyg.tv
and retails for $10.00.
