History
[edit]FableVision was founded in 1996 by twin brothers Peter and Paul Reynolds with Gary Goldberger and John Lechner.[1] Prior to starting FableVision, New York Times bestselling author/illustrator Peter was working for Tom Snyder Production using media, storytelling, and technology to teach kids and challenge them. Paul was working with Cosmic Blender, also using media, storytelling, and technology for adults to make workplace learning more fun. FableVision was originally located in Watertown, Massachusetts alongside Cosmic Blender.[2]
After 10 years in Watertown, FableVision Studios found its new home above the Boston Children’s Museum, appropriately located in the Innovation District. The building, now named the Yawkey Center for Children and Learning, also houses several other educational organizations, such as JumpStart and Citizen Schools.
FableVision Studios has collaborated with broadcasters, publishers, nonprofits, research groups, and museums, including PBS, The Jim Henson Company, Nick Jr. Channel, Smithsonian, MIT, and National Geographic Society to design and develop websites, games, animated films, museum kiosks, and mobile apps.[citation needed]
