    SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 2003--Genius Products, Inc.
(OTCBB:GNPI) today announced it has signed a multi-year licensing
agreement with United Media, licensing agent for the best-selling
"Rainbow Fish" series of books.
    Working with United Media, Genius Products will create a full line
of music CDs inspired by the adventures of Rainbow Fish and his
friends. Sold individually, in multi-packs, and to complement existing
licensed products, the music line will debut in 2003.
    Jean Sagendorph, Account Manager for United Media, stated, "The
delightful Rainbow Fish themes of sharing and friendship, coupled with
those that can be derived from Rainbow Fish's vast underwater world,
will inspire wonderful music."
    "Genius Products is thrilled to be working with United Media on
developing music for the terrific Rainbow Fish property," said Klaus
Moeller, CEO of Genius Products. "Having sold over 8 million books in
just 10 years, Rainbow Fish is truly a 'new classic' of children's
literature. With a new TV series reaching over 10 million U.S.
households 7 days/week, and over 1 million videos sold, we are proud
to add our music series to their great line-up of warm and
entertaining products."
    Rainbow Fish, first published in 1992, has already become a
favorite of small children and their parents. The series of books tell
stories about a fish who learns to make friends by sharing his most
prized possession -- his glittering scales -- with others. It combines
the wonder of undersea life and creatures with classic themes of
friendship, caring and sharing. The music series will combine readings
from the books with beautiful classical music, and new compositions,
that explore all these themes.
