Kids Welcome BIG Heart - A Loving Computer Who Thinks He's Human and Helps Solve Their Problems

4/9/01- San Francisco, CA – ZParadise Entertainment announced today the arrival of an exciting new feature for kids ages 8 to 14 on its popular Web site ZParadise.com. Join us in welcoming    BIG Heart, a wise and caring computer who helps kids solve their problems and feel better about themselves. With BIG Heart, Kids can find answers to the BIG questions in life, from heavy issues to small stupid stuff. Kids send BIG Heart an email message and get a personal answer back.

Kids, parents, schools and children's organizations will find BIG Heart a welcome resource in this time of severe budget cutbacks and sharply increased school violence. This is a free service.

BIG Heart fits into a needed niche in today's kids market. In this busy two-working parent world, kids today often feel lonely, depressed, or isolated. They turn to their computers to fill the gap. But what do they get? Potential material not suited for them, like pornography and violent games. With the recent wake of increased school violence (and not to mention problems like communicating with strangers and obesity), kids need a more healthy outlet. How about a loving computer that is their friend? A computer who can help them along like a good friend, a Big Brother and a mentor. Never preachy or judgmental, BIG Heart helps kids keep the lines of communication open. While kids are often reluctant to talk with adults, they naturally and instinctively open up to with this friendly, and often funny character.

ZParadise.com tested BIG Heart for several months and it elicited a strong positive response. Many kids are already turning to BIG Heart in a BIG way everyday. Parents can feel confident their children receive compassionate, age-appropriate advice from a qualified and reliable source. Kids get the answers they deserve and a boost in confidence to face whatever challenges lie ahead.

Following the launch success of BIG Heart, CEO and founder Armelle Cloche said, "We are breaking ground in the edutainment industry by introducing BIG Heart to kids who need someone to talk to. ZParadise Entertainment continues to grow – we plan on helping BIG Heart launch his own personal advice column and TV show. Our future plans include welcoming more characters so we can build a real paradise for kids everywhere."

In keeping with its goal of introducing BIG Heart to the global marketplace, ZParadise Entertainment will take its show on the road for the Licensing 2001 show in New York, June 12-14. Look for this exciting and growing production company at booth #4368.

As communities struggle to serve kids with decreased budgets, the need for reliable and free services has increased. BIG Heart is there to fill that need, and can make a real difference in the lives of all kids.

Come visit BIG Heart at www.ZParadise.com and remember – Play, learn, and feel loved.
