KIRBY COMES RIGHT BACK AT YA WITH HIS FIRST
FULL-LENGTH MOVIE FROM 4KIDS ENTERTAINMENT

Kirby: Fright to the FinishラThe Movie
Available June 14, 2005 on DVD and VHS

NEW YORK, N.Y. (April 13, 2005)ラ4Kids Entertainment Home Video, Inc., the
home video unit of 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: KDE), in association
with FUNimation Productions LTD, will release Kirby: Fright to the
FinishラThe Movie at retailers across the country on June 14, 2005, it was
announced by Joe Lyons, Director of Home Entertainment, 4Kids Entertainment.

One of Nintendo's most popular characters of all time, Kirby pours on the
power with more laughs, more action and more adventure in his first
full-length movie. Is this Kirby's final battle? Will this be the end of
Dream Land?

When a fleet of mysterious spaceships attacks Dream Land, Kirby embarks on a
nerve-shattering journey into deep space and confronts his ultimate
nightmareナthe diabolical eNeMeE. Can Kirby defeat the dark force of eNeMeE's
malevolent mindscape, or will eNeMeE realize his devilish dream of total
domination?

In addition to the full-length movie, the DVD includes:
ユ Bonus Kirby Episode: Hour of the WolfWrath
-- WolfWrath injures Meta Knight and Blade and Sword must now defeat him
with Kirby's help.
ユ Music Video: Kirby ムIf Ya Can't Beat ムem, Eat ムem
ユ Music Video: What's Cooking on Kirby

Kirby: Fright to the Finish - The Movie
RUNNING TIME: Approx. 85 minutes
RATING: TV Y
PREBOOK DATE: 5/10/05
STREET DATE: 6/14/05
DVD SRP: $14.98
VHS SRP: $9.98 VHS

On June 13, 2005, the day before Kirby: Fright to the FinishラThe Movie is
released, Kirby will make his Nintendo DS debut in the new game Kirby:
Canvas Curse.

Kirby, one of the most widely recognized video game characters in the world,
has appeared in 17 Nintendo video games to date. More than 30 million Kirby
games have been sold worldwide since his video game debut a decade ago.

Cary's Take: The Saturday morning Kirby cartoon is neither educational nor beneficial to kids, but it is still cute, entertaining, and fun. I imagine the movie will be the same way. Some of the monsters and scenes in the Saturday cartoon might scare very young kids, but other than that it's safe and fun, great for young video game fans. Too bad my TV station doesn't play it anymore. Kirby games are some of the best games for kids around. Hopefully I'll be able to find the Kirby movie DVD when it comes out and watch it with my little brothers.

Oh, and whoever hired the voice actor for King Dedede deserves a raise. He's the best character in the whole show. "I need a monster to clobber that thar Kirby!"
