He continued, "Not only does Stan Lee's 'Superhero Kindergarten' feature comedy and action, but there are many valuable lessons to be learned along the way!"

"Of particular pride to me is the fact that I am not only teaching kids to use their superpowers, but I am also imparting valuable lessons to kids worldwide about the importance of health, exercise, and nutrition," Schwarzenegger added.

The upcoming animated series launched by Genius Brands International was one of Marvel comics creator Stan Lee's final project before death.
