Cookie Jar filling up and cutting back on overlap
IT's been a busy summer for Cookie Jar Group. The Toronto, Canada-based entertainment company caught the industry by surprise this past June when it snapped up L.A.'s DIC Entertainment for US$87.6 million, and later offered US$195 million to buy Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears and Sushi Pack from American Greetings at the end of July.
