SALT LAKE CITY — The "Kid History" brothers have teamed up with the film "Unicorn City," drawing "Kid History" fans to the movie's premiere with a sneak peak at episode eight last week. Now, after a few changes, they are officially releasing the new episode in Arizona Friday.
"We really liked 'Unicorn City,' " said Randy Roberts, the series founder. "It was clean, family-friendly humor. And they liked 'Kid History.' I guess you could say we were mutual fans."
The Roberts brothers played a sneak peak of their new episode at the "Unicorn City" premiere to support the movie. They even had a ticket-giveaway contest for fans to attend the event with Brett Roberts or Dave Roberts.
After a lot of positive feedback, the brothers who produce the popular YouTube videos made some changes to episode eight and are excited to show it tonight in Mesa, Ariz. "Kid History" fans can still get tickets to the premiere at Mesa's Mountain View High School at kidhistorytickets.com.
"The 6 p.m. show sold out within hours," Roberts said. "So we had to add an 8:30 show. There are still some tickets left."
Ticket-holders can come at 5 p.m. or stay after the last showing to meet the "Kid History" cast. "Kid History Remix #2," an off-shoot of "Kid History," will also be premiered.
The Roberts brothers are in full gear. They plan to release episode nine in Idaho next month, as well as a new unnamed series. "Kid History: Episode 8" will be posted to YouTube on Saturday night after the brothers return from Arizona.
Rebecca has three children and has written for Schooled Magazine, KSL.com and Deseret News.
