Wayans brothers create animated kids shows (302 words)
Brothers Keenen Ivory, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, of "Scary Movie" and "In Living Color" fame, have created a series of animated children's shows, with books and toys to follow.
Inspired by the Wayans brothers' favorite childhood cartoons, "Thugaboo" follows the misadventures of nine kids growing up in the inner city.
The Wayans brothers are all parents, Shawn Wayans said.
Wayans Brothers Bring Home a Little Man - The Deadbolt (658 words)
The Wayans Brothers don't often get enough credit in critical circles or in the press, but they've put together a string of comedy hits in the new millennium that prove just how popular they are with the masses and were recently hailed as the most powerful family in Hollywood by Entertainment Weekly.
The Wayans would star again in Scary Movie 2, which didn't too quite as well as the original, but certainly made a profit, and then went on to star in 2004's White Chicks, a critical disaster that nonetheless went on to make $70 million.
Shawn, Marlon, and director/brother Keenan Ivory Wayans have often done anything for a laugh and, apparently, the same holds true on-set as well as on-screen.
