NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of those who acquired Genius Brands International, Inc.

Investors have until October 19, 2020 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
