New Special Produced for Animal Planet Features Kids from Community School of Maynard

Powderhouse Productions, a national leader in the creation of factual entertainment, will host a screening of its new special for Animal Planet, “Dogs vs. Cat” on Sunday, July 25, 2010 at the Fine Arts Theatre in Maynard, Massachusetts. The screening will take place at 10:30 AM and is open to the community free of charge.

The Maynard Community School played a large role in the series as many of its preschoolers participated in the televised special. “We are so happy to give back to the Maynard Community and the Community School in particular – the families and kids were amazing to work with on this project and I think they had a lot of fun doing it,” said Seanbaker Carter, SVP of Development and Sales for Powderhouse and Executive Producer of Dogs vs. Cats.

The special will answer the age-old question of what is the better species, dogs or cats? Whatever your opinion, Dogs vs. Cats gives viewers fun facts about each species, tells their histories and provides unscripted, raw interviews with everyday Americans, while showing the hilarious and often destructive antics of kittens and puppies. Different groups, from bar patrons to preschoolers, weigh in on the subject and no questions are too off-the-wall, and no contests are off limits in this no-holds barred match to determine a winner in the ultimate battle of the species.

“Whether you consider yourself on Team Dog or Team Cat, we guarantee this special will provide everyone with something to cheer for and maybe even some closure and bragging rights,” said Marjorie Kaplan, President and General Manager of Animal Planet Media.
