Kids will finally have a chance to learn financial lessons from billionaire Warren Buffett when his cartoon is released online this fall, three years later than planned. Buffett is starring in “The Secret Millionaire's Club” that is designed to teach kids financial principles, such as avoiding debt. Buffett said he hopes the cartoon will be fun and informative. “What better time to help educate our kids about financial responsibility,” Buffett said in a statement. “This is a legacy item for him,” said cartoon creator Andy Heyward, who has been creating humorous cartoons for Berkshire's annual meetings since the 1980s. This won't be the first time Buffett has done cartoon work. He also provided the voice of James Madison in a DVD called “Liberty's Kids” that was created by Heyward's previous company, which also made well-known cartoons such as “Inspector Gadget” and “Strawberry Shortcake.” Originally, the cartoon was supposed to be released on DVD in the fall of 2006. In addition to the Buffett cartoon, Heyward plans three other celebrity titles designed to teach kids important lessons.
