Hey kids! It's Warren Buffett!

Warren Buffett has some financial advice... for kids. He is going to provide the voice for a kids' cartoon series that
provides basic lessons about finances and economics. Thirteen episodes of the cartoon, called The Secret
Millionaire's Club, are already in production. The premise of the show is about a group of kids in Omaha who find
a box of sports memorabilia that turns out to be very valuable. After making millions on the sale, the kids each become
secret millionaires, investing their money based on advice from Warren Buffet. The company behind the project is DIC
Entertainment and they're not sure yet if the cartoons will go directly to DVD or if someone will actually want to air
them on television.I'm not sure what age of kids these cartoons are supposed to target. One of the creators said it's important for kids to understand basic finance so, when they graduate high school, they don't make the mistake of getting a bunch of pre-approved credit cards. I agree. But, do kids watch this kind of stuff? Really?
