Interestingly, KRAPOPOLIS will serve as the first-ever animated series curated entirely on the Blockchain, as FOX and Bento Box enter the NFT business.
The company will launch a dedicated marketplace for KRAPOPOLIS that will curate and sell digital goods, ranging from NFTs of one-of-a-kind character and background art and GIFs, as well as tokens that provide exclusive social experiences to engage and reward super fans.
This week Fox Entertainment announced the all-star voice cast that includes:

J.Law is having her first baby and we couldn't be happier! Here's everything you need to know about the dad.
PEOPLE Magazine droppped the exclusive news this week, saying "the actress' rep confirmed the happy baby news on Wednesday."
This will be the 31-year-old's first baby, and we have our fingers crossed that the child inherits Jennifer's loveable sense of humour and knack for keeping her private life, well private.
The Hunger Games star's husband, Cooke Maroney, is the father-to-be and somehow the expecting couple managed to keep most of their relationship out of the public eye. In fact, almost right up until their wedding, many people didn't know who the mysterious man on J.Law's arm was.
Still don't know? Well, Cooke Maroney is an art gallerist - fancy, we know - who is currently the director of New York City's Gladstone Gallery.
Apparently, Maroney and Lawrence met through a mutual friend and started secretly dating in mid-2018.
In October 2019 the pair got married on Rhode Island in front of friends, family and some fellow high-profile celebs including Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper, Adele and Cameron Diaz.
Congratulations and we wish all the best to the loved up parents-to-be!

You probably haven’t put too much thought into it as it’s not as obvious as Ronald McDonald being a clown and Birdie being a bird... but a McDonald’s manager has revealed what the purple McDonald’s mascot Grimace actually is.
In an interview with CBC News, Award-winning manager Brian Bates has answered the question of what is Grimace, anyway?

Bates won the Outstanding Manager of The Year award for his management of a McDonald’s franchise in Windsor, Canada, which put in him the top 10% across 1,4000 restaurants in Canada.
It’s unofficial, but Bate’s revealed that Grimace is in fact, a taste bud. Bates said, "He is an enormous taste bud, but a taste bud nonetheless."
"The purpose of Grimace is to show the food tastes good.”
When director Kyle Daly posted this breaking news to Twitter, of course, the internet responded reacting to the news.

To back up his revelation, several tweets from McDonald’s Corporation also revealed Grimace was indeed a taste bud… or an embodiment of a milkshake! Although they even say themselves, the origins of Grimace have not been confirmed. The only thing we know for sure is that Grimace is ‘purple and awesome.'
@realofficernarc The origins of Grimace have not been confirmed. Some say a taste bud, while others say a milkshake. And very purple.

@rrldmc that would be Grimace. Some say he's a taste bud; other insist he's the embodiment of a milkshake. He's purple and awesome.

Apparently, the original Grimace scared kids with his scaly, mean look and four arms and was then turned into the clumsy, dopey, and loveable character we know today.
Delving deeper into the history of Grimace, the purple character was first introduced as “Evil Grimace” in 1971 in which he was an antagonist that stole beverages like soft drinks and shakes. He also had two sets of arms. He was then reintroduced in 1972 as a protagonist, dropping the “Evil” title and also had just one set of arms.

The Spears Saga takes an unexpected turn with Jamie Spears petitioning a LA court to end the 13-year conservatorship.
Britney Spears' father Jamie has petitioned a Los Angeles court to end the pop singer's 13-year conservatorship, NBC News and CNN report.
Britney had told the court in June that the arrangement was abusive and humiliating.
She had filed legal documents asking that her father be immediately removed as the overseer of her $US60 million ($A81 million) estate.
Jamie Spears, in a court filing in August, said he was willing to step down from the role.
In a new document on Tuesday, he went a step further and asked the court to end the conservatorship entirely, according to NBC News and CNN.
Britney "is entitled to have this Court now seriously consider whether this conservatorship is no longer required," Jamie Spears said in a new filing cited by the media outlets.
Her circumstances have changed "to such an extent that grounds for establishment of a conservatorship may no longer exist," he added.
Representatives for Jamie Spears did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Britney, 39, remains under the care of professional Jodi Montgomery, who manages her medical and personal affairs.
The nature of the singer's mental health issues have never been publicly revealed.
She has received support from the FreeBritney fan campaign that has rallied for her release form the legal arrangement.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny scheduled the next hearing in the case for September 29.
