Nick Jr. Australia Commissions New Dance Series 'Ready Set Dance'

'Ready Set Dance' will premiere linearly on Nick Jr. Australia and digitally on Nick Jr. Play, Foxtel On Demand and Oz IPTV provider Fetch in January 2019.


Nick Jr. Australia has commissioned Ready Set Dance, a brand-new locally produced short-form series specifically designed to get preschoolers aged two – five years old moving along to dance videos featuring young Australian actors and dancers and two animated hosts encouraging them to participate in the show’s choreographed dance sequences. A core educational curriculum teaching fundamental movement skills to build confidence, coordination and creativity in kids underpins the episodes.

Ready Set Dance was developed in collaboration with a group of Aussie preschool dance educators and dance studio owners, including Jade Barnes, Belinda Agostino, Natalie Ettingshausen, Glenda Yee and Priscilla Severino, and has been designed to encourage preschoolers to engage in short physical activity. Their Ready Set Dance class-based program for preschoolers is currently licensed in more than 150 dance schools in Australia and New Zealand.

“Working alongside Nickelodeon, we have been able to adapt our classroom-based program to deliver a story-driven dance series that is bursting with energy and encourages kids to get up and dance at home in their living rooms,” said Jade Barnes, a director at Ready Set Dance.

Early childhood expert Dr. Cathie Harrison, who served as a consultant on the production, said, “Ready Set Dance is the perfect example of how dance can act as a holistic learning tool to effectively integrate various domains of development such as physical sensory, language, cognitive, social and emotional skills. Young children are in a period that requires them to use movement and senses to explore and engage with the world.”

“As a local production, Ready Set Dance is a true testament to Nickelodeon’s dedication to producing captivating and stimulating kids’ programs designed to educate, involve and excite developing and enquiring minds within our community,” said Ben Cox, General Manager, Nickelodeon Networks, Australia and New Zealand.

The daily series will debut on Nick Jr. Australia on Monday 21st January 2019 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., airing periodically between hit Nick Jr. shows such as PAW Patrol, Blaze and the Monster Machines and Nella the Princess Knight. It will also be available digitally on Nick Jr. Play, Foxtel On Demand and Oz IPTV provider Fetch.

Nickelodeon Brazil to Air 'Tainá e os Guardiões da Amazônia' Sneak Peek on Sunday 16th December 2018

Nickelodeon Brazil (Brasil) has announced the exciting news that it will be treating viewers to a super sneak-peek of its upcoming CG-animated series Tainá e os Guardiões da Amazônia when it will air two episodes from the network's brand-new show on Sunday 16th December 2018 at 19:00 on Nickelodeon Brasil and Nick Jr. Brasil!


Following the special preview, the series will fully launch on Saturday 5th January 2019 at 12:30 on Nickelodeon Brasil, followed with a launch on Nick Jr. Brasil in February 2019.

Co-produced by Nickelodeon and Sincrocine Produções, with investments from BNDES (Procult) and Artigo 39 da Ancine, the animated series is an adaptation of the hit trilogy of Brazilian family films, and follows a Indian girl named Tainá, who, together with her friends, protects the Amazon rain forest and its fauna and flora.

The new co-production will reimagine the story of the three feature-length live-action movies for a new audience of children aged between 3-to-6 years old. The trilogy has won 23 national and international awards and has being shown on TVs in more than 40 countries around the world.


Tainá e os Guardiões da Amazônia follows Tainá, her pet monkey Catu, king vulture Pepe, and a little hedgehog named Suri, who enjoy going on fun adventures as they explore and learn more about the world's largest rainforest and its extraordinary diversity. The series aims to encourage children to respect diversity and cultural differences, and their abilities and limitations, bringing a message of respect, friendship and care for nature in each episode.

In the heart of the Amazon Forest, Tainá and her friends live on top of the Great Tree - the mother of all trees. When in danger, the forest animals ask for help from their Indian hero by saying “Cru-Cru”. The message is then passed from one animal to another, echoing through the vastness of the forest until Tainá gets hears the cry for help, and uses the power of the Blue Arrow to start her adventure.

Always in a playful and humorous way, the Guardians of the Amazon never fail to respond to the request for help, even if it means coming face-to-face with strong currents, a herd of jaws or even a gigantic coiled sucuri. After all, they are Kirimbau, in whose language, Taina means brave.

Below is Nickelodeon Brasil's official press release announcing the exciting news, via EP GRUPO:

Pré-estreia exclusiva da animação ‘Tainá e os Guardiões da Amazônia’

Em parceria com a Sincrocine Produções, nova série é adaptação da trilogia de sucesso do cinema brasileiro que tem como protagonista a indiazinha Tainá e o cenário da Floresta Amazônica

Dois episódios vão ao ar dia 16 de dezembro, domingo, às 19h e a estreia oficial é no dia 05 de janeiro, às 12h30, na Nickelodeon e, em fevereiro, na Nick Jr.

#Tainá

@NickelodeonBr

Os canais Nickelodeon e Nick Jr., em parceria com a Sincrocine Produções, anunciam a pré-estreia exclusiva de ‘Tainá e os Guardiões da Amazônia’. Com 26 episódios, a animação em 3D é uma adaptação da trilogia de sucesso do cinema brasileiro que tem como protagonista a indiazinha Tainá que, junto de seus amigos, protege a Floresta Amazônica, sua fauna e flora. Dois episódios vão ao ar na sequência, dia 16 de dezembro, domingo, às 19h em ambos os canais e a estreia oficial é no dia 05 de janeiro, às 12h30, na Nickelodeon e, em fevereiro, na Nick Jr.

“Faz parte do DNA da Nick investir em animações que chamem a atenção da nossa audiência através de mensagens positivas que contribuem para uma sociedade mais consciente”, afirma Jimmy Leroy, Vice-Presidente de Criação da Nickelodeon Brasil. “Ter este conteúdo desenvolvido localmente, celebrando nosso país e estimulando a proteção de nossa imensa diversidade, riqueza e cultura nos deixa ainda mais certos da entrega de um bom conteúdo para as crianças”, completa.

Com investimentos oriundos do BNDES (Procult), FSA e do Artigo 39 da Ancine, a nova coprodução brasileira traz uma releitura da heroína Tainá, destinada a toda família, adaptado ao universo das crianças com idade pré-escolar. Os três longas-metragens live-action conquistaram 23 prêmios nacionais e internacionais e já foram exibidos nas TVs de mais de 40 países.

“Ter feito a personagem Tainá foi algo muito marcante na minha carreira como atriz. Vou ser eternamente grata por essa incrível oportunidade. Ver, hoje, essa obra transformada em animação, com certeza, me traz uma alegria muito grande”, comenta Eunice Baía, protagonista dos dois primeiros filmes da trilogia. “O melhor de tudo é que vou poder acompanhar o desenho ao lado do meu filho. Estou bastante ansiosa!”, completa.

Tainá, o macaco, Catu, o urubu-rei, Pepe e a pequena ouriça, Suri, vão viver divertidas aventuras enquanto exploram e aprendem mais sobre a maior floresta tropical do mundo e sua extraordinária diversidade. A série pretende estimular nas crianças o respeito à diversidade, às diferenças culturais, suas habilidades e limitações, trazendo uma mensagem de respeito, amizade e cuidado com a natureza em cada episódio.

“Tainá em animação foi um sonho de longa data que agora se concretiza. Esse formato certamente potencializará a difusão da mensagem de cuidado com a Natureza e com a diversidade que Tainá traz para as crianças brasileiras e de todo mundo”, afirma Virginia Limberger, Produtora da Sincrocine.

“O que mais me animou ao dirigir Tainá e os Guardiões da Amazônia foi a oportunidade de nos conectarmos com as crianças através do universo rico e único da Amazônia. Para criar nossos personagens, roteiros e até mesmo a arte, tivemos que nos aproximar da fauna e flora amazônica e acabamos aprendendo muito no processo. Vai ser um prazer trazer essa riqueza para as crianças. Com Tainá, conseguimos contar mensagens universais com uma linguagem só nossa, o que torna a série única.”, diz André Forni, Diretor da Animação.

“Tainá e os Guardiões da Amazônia” foi o último trabalho de Pedro Rovai, reconhecido cineasta brasileiro e criador da personagem Tainá. A série, certamente, irá despertar o interesse e reforçar o amor pela Floresta Amazônica.

SOBRE A SÉRIE
No coração da Floresta Amazônica, Tainá e seus amigos vivem no alto da Grande Árvore – a mãe de todas as árvores. Quando em perigo, os animais da floresta pedem ajuda à indiazinha falando “Cru-Cru”, o chamado que é transmitido de um bicho para o outro, ecoando pela imensidão da floresta até encontrar Tainá. A indiazinha utiliza o poder da Flecha Azul para iniciar sua aventura.

Sempre de maneira lúdica e com muito humor, os Guardiões da Amazônia não deixam de atender ao pedido de ajuda mesmo que isso signifique enfrentar fortes correntezas, uma manada de queixadas ou até mesmo uma gigantesca sucuri enrolada. Afinal, eles são Kirimbau, que na língua da Tainá significa corajoso.

No final da primeira temporada, Kally apresenta uma música original do pop clássico.

Sem divulgar local, Karisma anuncia primeiro hotel no Brasil

A rede Karisma Hotels & Resorts anunciou sua chegada no Brasil com empreendimento próprio. O grupo hoteleiro trará ao Brasil, a partir de 2021, uma unidade de seu resort temático da marca Nickelodeon. O local da estreia ainda não foi divulgado e permanecerá, por ora, confidencial, afirma a rede.

O resort brasileiro será a terceira unidade da marca Nickelodeon, que já está presente na República Dominicana e, no ano que vem, abre portas na Riviera Maia, no México. Com a marca, que explora seus diversos e icônicos personagens infantis, a Karisma afirma querer “redefinir as viagens em família pela ótica de entretenimento e serviço de alto padrão”.

Para quem não quer esperar três anos para conhecer a operação da rede hoteleira, o diretor geral da Karisma Hotels & Resorts para a América Latina, Diego Jaramillo, convida o mercado a visitar as outras unidades espalhadas por México e América Central.

“A taxa de ocupação do mercado brasileiro cresce cada vez mais, para todos os destinos onde estamos presentes: Riviera Maia no México, Negril na Jamaica, Punta Cana na República Dominicana e Cartagena na Colômbia”, detalha. “Os brasileiros estão viajando cada vez mais para o Caribe e outros destinos próximos”, comemora.

A gastronomia é uma das armas da Karisma para atrair o público brasileiro. Um dos pilares de sua operação, o Gourmet Inclusive oferece serviço consistente, cardápio de criações com produtos orgânicos e apresentação gourmet. A oferta promete atingir os segmentos de luxo, casais, família e incentivo, por exemplo.

Colombia: Irotama quiere llegar al interior del país

La cadena Karisma, los nuevos operadores del hotel Irotama de Santa Marta, que hicieron oficial el cambio de administración hace poco más de un mes, tienen grandes proyectos con esta marca colombiana para los próximos años.

De acuerdo con Diego Jaramillo, nuevo director general de Karisma para Latinoamérica -cargo al que renunció Juan Pablo Franky, actual viceministro de turismo, para poder desempeñarse en el sector público- uno de los objetivos principales de la empresa operadora es expandirse por la región, pero principalmente en Colombia.

En ese orden de ideas, según indicó el ejecutivo en diálogo con Portafolio, los primeros destinos a los que llegarían serían el Eje Cafetero y la Sabana de Bogotá, lo cual resulta novedoso teniendo en cuenta que la cadena Karisma y el hotel Irotama, se han caracterizado siempre por tener alojamientos de playa con fines vacacionales y una vocación familiar.

Además, Jaramillo anunció que les interesa abrir una nueva sede en Cartagena, con lo que sumarían cuatro y que continuarán con su plan de expansión a nivel internacional.

De esa forma, en el 2019 estarían inaugurando un hotel de la marca Nickelodeon en la Riviera Maya (México) y definirían las fechas de construcción de otro alojamiento de este tipo en Brasil.

¿Dónde empezarán a operar más pronto?

Nosotros manejamos dos niveles: Karisma global, con presencia en América y Europa, y Karisma en América Latina, que es lo que gestionamos desde la oficina de Bogotá.

Para Karisma global viene un tema muy importante y es fortalecer las alianzas que tenemos, dentro de las cuales la más relevante es Viacom, la compañía de comunicaciones dueña de canales como Nickelodeon y MTV. De la mano de eso vienen cosas importantes para la región, porque estamos haciendo mucho énfasis en el desarrollo de estas marcas y en el 2019 vamos a abrir el primer Nickelodeon de Latinoamérica en la Riviera Maya, en México.

¿Cómo ha sido el crecimiento de la cadena?

Entre el 2010 y 2017, la cadena ha venido creciendo, tanto en el número de habitaciones como en EBITDA, con unas tasas de alrededor del 17% anuales, lo cual nos ha permitido que ahora tengamos presencia en 6 países, de dos continentes, con 32 hoteles y aproximadamente 5.800 llaves. Esto además es un cumplimiento acelerado de las metas corporativas que se habían planteado, porque la idea inicial para el 2020 era tener 30 hoteles y en el 2018, con la incorporación del Irotama en Santa Marta, logramos superar esa cifra.

En términos generales queremos seguir creciendo a nivel de marcas icónicas y relevantes. Esperamos el próximo año empezar a fortalecernos en la zona de mayor potencial de crecimiento para nosotros que es Latinoamérica, más allá de México y el Caribe que es nuestro principal destino y de Europa, en Croacia, que es la segunda región de más importancia para la organización.

Así mismo, queremos traer el segundo Nickelodeon para la región en Brasil, – luego del mencionado en México- y esperamos que, en el primer trimestre del próximo año, tengamos algo ya más definido para tener programas de construcción específicos con fechas.

El tercer Nickelodeon queremos que sea en Colombia y estamos buscando alternativas de dónde podría ser.

¿Cuáles son las expectativas en Colombia?

Para nosotros dentro de Latinoamérica la piedra angular como destino es Colombia, no solamente para los hoteles vacacionales, sino también para los de ciudad.

Queremos desarrollar la marca Irotama por fuera de Santa Marta, y llegar a destinos como Cartagena, pero también al interior del país, como por ejemplo en el Eje Cafetero y la Sabana de Bogotá, en diferentes destinos que son atractivos para las familias, porque nosotros somos una empresa definitivamente familiar, y la vocación va a seguir siendo de un hotel familiar, pero con unas facilidades e infraestructura apropiada también para el mercado corporativo y de negocios.

Adicionalmente, queremos trabajar en fortalecer la plataforma comercial en la región, para que los ingresos que se dan aquí correspondan con la oferta, porque, por ejemplo, solo el hotel Irotama representa el 2% de las habitaciones de Karisma en esta región. Pero por ahora solo representamos, dentro de todas las fuentes de negocio de la cadena, menos del 0,5% de la facturación, entonces queremos convertirnos en un emisor de demanda para todos los hoteles de la plataforma de Karisma y ganarnos una posición relevante en ese sentido, que la proporción de ingresos sea igual a la de las habitaciones.

Otro objetivo a corto plazo es implementar muy bien la filosofía Karisma en Irotama, para que se puedan combinar ambas identidades a la perfección. Para eso desarrollamos un plan que empezamos a trabajar desde el 15 de agosto, cuando se firmó el convenio, y trajimos a un equipo de preparación que estuvo compuesto hasta por 50 personas en su momento, y en el que estuvieron involucrados diez líderes globales de diferentes segmentos de la compañía.

Así mismo, estamos buscando incorporar hoteles Allure, que es nuestra marca de ciudad, en Perú, y más adelante en Argentina, que son destinos donde podemos encontrar una relación de desarrollo entre la hotelería y las industrias creativas.

¿Por qué el interés en esos movimientos culturales?

Con el creciente interés de la comunidad de ampliar sus experiencias, nosotros como hoteleros tenemos que permitirles ser ese puente, entre los destinos en donde hay una oferta creativa significativa y los viajeros, lo cual no significa que sea un tema de nicho.

Un ejemplo es Mompox, que tiene una riqueza patrimonial envidiable y donde se hace el festival de jazz, que es claramente una actividad de la economía naranja, entonces nuestro rol como industria es que la infraestructura hotelera, los niveles de visitas y de ocupación, de la mano del flujo de turistas, vayan creciendo cada vez más alrededor de ese concepto.

El Gobierno ha hablado de la economía naranja y del turismo como el nuevo petróleo, que son dos cosas que tienen sentido conceptualmente, pero necesitamos que esas intenciones se vuelvan programas concretos que incentiven la inversión en esos destinos específicos, porque si no va a pasar lo que ya sucedió en Bogotá, donde hubo un crecimiento muy grande en la oferta de los últimos años, y donde los hoteles entre semana tienen ocupación del 70%, pero los fines de semana son inferiores al 30%, porque no se conocen las otras cosas que se pueden hacer en la ciudad.

Karisma Hotels planea traer la marca Nickelodeon a Colombia

Karisma Hotels en Colombia planea traer la marca Nickelodeon, luego de México y Brasil. Además la hotelera quiere desarrollar la marca Irotama fuera Santa Marta, en destinos como Cartagena, Eje Cafetero y la Sabana de Bogotá. Igualmente, proyecta incursionar en el mercado corporativo del país.

“Queremos traer el segundo Nickelodeon para la región en Brasil, – luego del mencionado en México- y esperamos que, en el primer trimestre del próximo año, tengamos algo ya más definido para tener programas de construcción específicos con fechas. El tercer Nickelodeon queremos que sea en Colombia y estamos buscando alternativas de dónde podría ser”, dijo Diego Jaramillo, nuevo director general de Karisma para Latinoamérica.

Para Karisma, Colombia es un mercado importante, tanto para los hoteles vacacionales, como para los de ciudad. “Para nosotros dentro de Latinoamérica la piedra angular como destino es Colombia, no solamente para los hoteles vacacionales, sino también para los de ciudad. Queremos desarrollar la marca Irotama por fuera de Santa Marta, y llegar a destinos como Cartagena, pero también al interior del país, como por ejemplo en el Eje Cafetero y la Sabana de Bogotá, en diferentes destinos que son atractivos para las familias, porque nosotros somos una empresa definitivamente familiar, y la vocación va a seguir siendo de un hotel familiar, pero con unas facilidades e infraestructura apropiada también para el mercado corporativo y de negocios. Así mismo, estamos buscando incorporar hoteles Allure, que es nuestra marca de ciudad, en Perú, y más adelante en Argentina, que son destinos donde podemos encontrar una relación de desarrollo entre la hotelería y las industrias creativas”, comentó Jaramillo al mismo medio.

Como lo informó REPORTUR.co, en febrero, Juan Pablo Franky, el hoy viceministro de Turismo, fue nombrado director general de Karisma en Latam, y anunciaba en ese entonces los planes de la hotelera con mínimo 1.000 habitaciones en Colombia, con inversión propia y bajo el modelo de contratos de operación o de renta, así lo manifestó en su momento el recién nombrado presidente de Karisma para Latam, Juan Pablo Franky. (Karisma busca sumar un mínimo de mil habitaciones en Colombia).

“Tenemos previsto incorporar a nuestra cadena en Colombia un mínimo de 1.000 habitaciones, un crecimiento acorde al tamaño de la industria en el país. Estamos buscando construir nuevos hoteles y para ello ya tenemos un par de proyectos que próximamente anunciaremos y lo otro es invitar a hoteles existentes a sumarse a nuestro portafolio bajo el modelo de contratos de operación o de renta”, dijo en su momento Franky.

NICKELODEON IBERIA ADDS MAGIC & MYSTERY TO LINEUP WITH “THE BUREAU OF MAGICAL THINGS”



Nickelodeon Iberia debuted the first two episodes of the enchanting new live-action series The Bureau of Magical Things, created by Australian television producer Jonathan M. Shiff (H2O: Just Add Water), on Monday 3rd December 2018 at 19:05 on Nickelodeon Portugal and at 20:05 on Nickelodeon Spain (España)! Following the launch, fans can catch more brand-new episodes of The Bureau of Magical Things daily at 19:05 on Nick Portugal and at 20:05 on Nick España.

The Bureau of Magical Things is locally titled Agencia de Asuntos Mágicos in Spain and O Departamento Das Coisas Mágicas in Portugal.

Filmed in Brisbane and the Gold Coast of Australia, The Bureau of Magical Things combines magic, mystery, and a unique mythology to tell the story of Kyra, an ordinary teenage girl who is caught in a clash between an elf and a fairy then becomes magically transformed. As a “Tri-ling”—part human, part fairy, and part elf—Kyra teams with a group of magical teenagers and learns to use her newfound powers to keep the human world safe from the surprising, funny, and sometimes dangerous effects of magical chaos. But when these young guardians uncover a threat, humans, fairies, and elves must unite to save both their worlds!

The series stars Kimie Tsukakoshi (The Family Law) as Kyra, a confident teenage Tri-ling who exhibits powers of both fairies and elves; Mia Milnes as Lily, an optimistic and sweet fairy; Elizabeth Cullen as Imogen, a headstrong and ambitious elf; Julian Cullen as Darra, Imogen’s charming hipster elf brother; Rainbow Wedell (Terra Nova) as Ruksy, an orderly fairy and teacher’s pet; Jamie Carter (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) as Peter, Kyra’s longtime classmate and science fiction lover; Christopher Sommers (Hunters) as Professor Maxwell, a witty half-elf-half-human in charge of the local Magic School; Melanie Zanetti (The Leisure Class) as Orla, an elf agent working for the Department of Magical Intervention (DMI); and Nicholas Bell (I, Frankenstein) as Sean, director of the DMI and Lily’s father.


In the first half-hour launch episode, “A Magical Mishap,” ordinary teenager Kyra gets zapped when she touches a book that is the subject of a magical tug‐of‐war between a fairy, Lily, and an elf, Imogen. When Kyra wakes the next day, she can see and perform magic as a newfound Tri‐ling – part‐human, part‐fairy and part‐elf.

Nickelodeon has acquired the global rights to The Bureau of Magical Things (20x30'). The series made its debut on Nick USA on Monday 8th October 2018, followed by its debut on Nickelodeon in the UK and Ireland on Monday 5th November 2018, and is currently rolling out globally across Nickelodeon's channels and branded blocks in 170+ countries and territories.



The Bureau of Magical Things introduces a captivating fantasy world while promoting real world concepts like individuality, diversity and acceptance,” says Layla Lewis, Senior Vice President, Global Acquisitions and Content Partnerships for Nickelodeon. “We think kids everywhere will find something relatable in these characters’ journeys to finding their true selves, while learning to embrace and accept what makes them different.”

Online at nickelodeon.es, fans can find out more Agencia de Asuntos Mágicos and watch short video clips.

Below is Nickelodeon España's official show description for Agencia de Asuntos Mágicos:

"Kyra es una adolescente normal... ¡hasta que un libro mágico cambió su vida para siempre! Un día cualquiera mientras paseaba, Kyra se encontró atrapada en mitad de una batalla entre un elfo y un hada. Justo en ese instante, una especie de encantamiento la convierte en un "Tribute-Ling"... ¡que no es otra cosa que un humano con los poderes de un hada y de un elfo! Ahora, Kyra necesita aprender a controlar sus poderes para poder proteger el mundo mágico junto a sus amigos."


Season one of The Bureau of Magical Things is produced by Jonathan M. Shiff Productions, financed with the support of Screen Australia, the Queensland Government through Screen Queensland and the City of Gold Coast and will be globally distributed by ZDF Enterprises. The show was originally broadcast in Australia on Channel Eleven.

The aim of Bob Esponja. Aventuras en Madrid is to strengthen the image of the city of Madrid as a reference destination for family tourism and encourage families interested in visiting the city to enjoy a wide and diverse range of leisure and entertainment such as those offered by Madrid. The guide facilitates your stay in the capital, proposing plans and activities of all kinds, promoting knowledge of Madrid among children in a fun and enjoyable way by the hand of SpongeBob and his friends.


Through a book about the city of Madrid given to you by Sandy Cheeks, SpongeBob and all his friends will get to know the unique places and icons of the capital, from the Retiro, Puerta de Alcalá, and the Bear and the strawberry tree to Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor Square, the Temple of Debod, and many other surprising landmarks.

Among the cultural and leisure proposals that SpongeBob discovers are the museums of the city, the Changing of the Guards at the Royal Palace, the beach in Madrid Rio Park, the Madrid Zoo Aquarium, the double-decker bus tour, as well as the fun workshops, musical shows, theatres and circus shows the city has to offer, plus the Nickelodeon Land amusement park at Atracciones de Madrid.

There is no shortage of delicious snacks that you can try when you visit the city: from the starry eggs of Casa Lucio, the tortillas of La Ardosa, the croquettes of Casa Labra, to the chocolate with churros of San Ginés or the violet sweets of La Violeta.

Aventuras en Madrid also highlights the extensive natural heritage that can be enjoyed in Madrid, the European city with the most trees, which has large green spaces such as Casa de Campo, El Retiro, El Capricho and Quinta de los Molinos. Also present in the guide is one of the most popular sports among children, football, through the main teams in the city, Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid; its stadiums, Santiago Bernabéu and Wanda Metropolitano; and the fountains where they celebrate their titles: Cibeles and Neptuno.


The guide also features fun activities for children to complete, which allow children to colour the most famous painting of Madrid, make a fun alphabet soup, find the "hidden treasures" of Madrid, and draw their own experience in the city.

Inside Bob Bakish’s Aggressive Turnaround Plan for Viacom

Inside Bob Bakish’s Aggressive Turnaround Plan for Viacom


CREDIT: Celeste Sloman for Variety

Bob Bakish was days into his job as CEO of Viacom in late 2016 when he began convening meetings with senior executives to execute a triage effort to save the media giant.

Paramount Pictures had just posted a $445 million annual loss. Viacom’s cable networks were in danger of being dropped by major distributors amid a long ratings slump and lack of sizzle in its programming. Morale at the company’s creative hubs in New York and Los Angeles had been battered by months of headlines about a nasty fight between Bakish’s predecessor, Philippe Dauman, and Viacom controlling shareholders Sumner Redstone and Shari Redstone. The prospect of a shotgun remarriage of the two halves of the Redstone empire — Viacom and CBS Corp. — hung heavy over the company, leading outsiders to see Bakish as a placeholder until Leslie Moonves and his team could take over.

What’s more, Bakish inherited a debt problem from the Dauman regime that required immediate attention as big payments loomed, complicating Viacom’s financial flexibility at a time when the company desperately needed to invest in fresh content and R&D. All of this bad news was reflected in a stock price that had plunged nearly 50% during the previous two years. Once seen as a company on the cutting edge of the multichannel universe, Viacom became the butt of industry jokes about traditional-media dinosaurs failing to adapt with fast-changing times.

“The biggest issue I saw, as if there weren’t enough problems, was that there was essentially no plan,” Bakish, who turns 55 on Dec. 14, tells Variety in his first in-depth interview since becoming CEO. “I’m a big believer in having a plan. If you don’t know where you’re trying to get to, how are you going to get there?” Not having a long-term strategic growth plan for the business was anathema to his background as an MBA and engineer.

Two years later, under Bakish’s leadership, Viacom appears to have halted the slide and is positioned for renewed growth. The chief executive has dramatically reshaped the company’s senior management ranks, ousting some of his longtime peers and recruiting industry executive stars such as Jim Gianopulos and Brian Robbins. He’s focused Viacom’s investments in content and pushed to diversify the company beyond pay TV and movies into digital-programming content and live experiences.

Bakish is routinely described as affable, smart and easy to talk to and is well liked by the rank and file at the company where he has worked since early 1997.

But at a time when the biggest players in media and entertainment are scrambling to fiercely compete on a global scale, Bakish still faces tough questions from the business and creative communities about whether Viacom has the firepower to remain competitive in the new world order for media giants. And there are questions about whether he’s the right person to lead Viacom into battle amid the arms race for content.

“Viacom has shown really strong improvement since Bob took over,” says Jessica Reif Ehrlich, media analyst with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, who has covered Viacom for years. “He doesn’t have to be a programmer to choose great creative executives. I give him a lot of credit for what he’s accomplished in a short time with what he had to work with. Morale at the company has done a 180-degree turn. You can feel it when you walk in the building.”

Bakish’s strengths, colleagues and associates say, include being a natural leader and a sophisticated problem solver. He acknowledges that he has a “nontraditional” background for heading a sizable media company.

“I didn’t grow up on the creative side. I didn’t grow up on the sales side,” Bakish allows. “But what I’ve done for a long time is look at all the information at hand and listen to people. Then, based on your understanding of what’s important and what you’re trying to achieve, you make decisions and hope they’re the right decisions.”

Viacom’s biggest dilemma is that the majority of its earnings are derived from the sector of its business that’s most under siege: traditional basic cable. Viacom felt the pain of cord-cutting and the embrace of streaming early because its channels have always catered to younger viewers, the audience that was quickest to adopt streaming and social media as entertainment platforms.

“For what the company controls, they’ve done a lot of things to put themselves in a much better position than they were two years ago,” says Ben Swinburne, managing director and head of media research for Morgan Stanley. “The countervailing force they’re dealing with is the ecosystem that they exist in.”

Swinburne credits the new regime at Viacom for making sweeping changes in management and “holding executives accountable.” The most dramatic improvement story is at Paramount, where former 20th Century Fox chief Gianopulos has revamped the top management ranks and overhauled the studio’s financial and creative strategies. Paramount Television has been an impressive growth story for the studio.

“Paramount is still a few years away from manifesting its full earnings power, but you can see where it’s headed,” Swinburne says. He feels the same process is under way at the Media Networks cable wing (formerly MTV Networks), albeit at a slower pace. “The external manifestation of that from a growth perspective has been harder to discern than at Paramount,” he says.

Bakish, who previously headed Viacom’s international channels division, has long impressed colleagues with his clear-eyed analysis of complicated situations. He succinctly boils down the obstacle course he faces in the coming months to trying to move the needle in the right direction.

“Can you create enough new business at a high enough margin fast enough to offset the decline in the traditional pay-TV business? That’s really the question,” he says. “When you look at our last couple of quarters, we have made continued progress on that journey.”

Bakish’s road map for revival includes revving up content production for linear and digital platforms, including those outside the Viacom umbrella, to take part in the content licensing gold rush. He has led the company’s efforts to expand its overseas operations with investments in Latin America, India and the U.K. Viacom is moving forward with advanced advertising initiatives that are projected to grow to become 15%-20% of Viacom’s total domestic ad biz next year. Viacom is also making a major push to expand its “experiential business” — aka selling tickets to the public for festivals and other live experiences tied to the company’s brightest brands.

Bakish has spent a good deal of time fence-mending with key MVPDs that had begun to punish the company after years of using its leverage to extract higher subscriber fees. After losing so much market clout as ratings declined for Viacom’s flagships, Bakish traded the stick for the carrot and crafted efforts to partner with MVPDs on targeted advertising sales and co-productions. Late last year, he salvaged Viacom’s carriage deal with Charter Communications, which otherwise would have been a domino-effect disaster for the company. Next up is a big carriage renewal with AT&T’s DirecTV, which will be a test of Bakish’s diplomatic skills.

“The investment community is getting more confidence in him,” says Mario Gabelli, a prominent investor in Viacom and CBS. “He’s got a plan.”

The heightened level of activity at Viacom is a welcome sign to longtime company observers who were deeply saddened by its decline during Dauman’s final years. But some wonder if the rebound might be too little too late.

“They’re diversifying into new areas that have better growth profiles,” Swinburne says. “The challenge is that those diversifications remain in the early stage and the areas of growth are relatively small.”

Bakish is realistic about the company’s uphill road. He’s not holding out for an M&A solution. There is no “transformational deal” on the horizon for Viacom, Bakish says. That includes CBS, even though there’s no doubt that he and Viacom’s board of directors (of which he is a member) have given serious consideration to what a Viacom-CBS combo might look like.

“Have we thought about it? Absolutely,” he says. “When we had discussions with CBS earlier this calendar year, one of the things we did was have a point of view on synergy savings. That’s a mathematical expression of how companies come together,” he says. “So we have thought about it. But at the same time I’ve taken the point of view with my team that we can’t worry about this because we don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Shari Redstone, vice chairman of Viacom and president of holding company National Amusements, was instrumental in picking Bakish for the CEO role after he impressed board members with his vision and planning for the international division. She praises Bakish for “his fast work to address the challenges head-on and transform Viacom for the future by pushing into new growth areas.” Redstone says the company, on Bakish’s watch, has steadily exceeded the board’s expectations. “He is an exceptional leader who has reignited the culture that has always been so important to Viacom’s success and to our position as a leader in the industry,” she says.

Former MTV Networks CEO Judy McGrath is one of the many alumni who were alarmed by the state of their alma mater when Bakish took over. She worked closely with Bakish after he became president of MTV Networks International in 2007 until her exit after 30 years with the company in 2011. The two have kept in touch over the years, particularly of late. The approach he took to cleaning up an unprofitable and bloated operation in the international channels division has proven to be a smaller-scale version of his blueprint for reviving Viacom, McGrath says.

“Bob always had his eye on something that would not exactly be in the company’s playbook but would expand the business in a way that was true to the brands. That wasn’t easy to do a lot of the time at Viacom,” McGrath says. “He always brought a real sense of the landscape of opportunity in his deals and a willingness to be experimental.”

Bakish did not come up through the creative development, production or marketing ranks, as was the path for most leaders in McGrath’s day. One thing he did have was a fan’s appreciation for Viacom’s brands and their place in pop culture. He’s an avid music buff who has been playing rock and blues guitar since he was a kid growing up in Englewood, N.J. For a few years, Bakish was a member of the MTV Networks house band, dubbed the Unrehearsed, which included then-VH1 chief John Sykes and MTV ad sales executive Hank Close. McGrath put them together to play the company holiday party and other events; at one point the group landed a few gigs at Times Square’s now-shuttered B.B. King Blues Club.

Playing guitar is “fun and relaxing,” says Bakish, who is married and has two daughters, ages 18 and 23.

Project New Day was Bakish’s pithy name for the strategic brainstorming process that led to the turnaround plan Viacom unveiled to investors on Feb. 17, 2017, the same day it released unimpressive earnings that highlighted the company’s biggest weaknesses.

The meetings, mostly held in Viacom’s Times Square offices, involved the company’s key division heads and one or two members of their staffs at varying ranks. Bakish wanted a lot of input about how the company was operating in the trenches.

The mood among the executives who gathered in conference rooms was anxious and fearful but not grim. Bakish and Redstone were seen as “liberators,” in the words of a longtime Viacom TV executive. The company had been through the ringer during the last days of Dauman as Sumner Redstone’s longtime consigliere battled the ailing mogul’s daughter for control of the company. His ouster was part of a legal settlement reached in August 2016.

Stylistically, Bakish was the polar opposite of his predecessor. He brought the various fiefdoms within Viacom together to attack the company’s issues head on. “Bob engaged with people more in two weeks than Philippe did in 10 years,” says a veteran Viacom executive.

Bakish’s problem-solving approach reflected his early training as an engineer. He graduated from Columbia University in 1985 with a degree in operations research; in 1989 he earned his MBA, also from Columbia.

His first exposure to Viacom came in the early 1990s during his years as a management consultant for Booz Allen Hamilton. He became well liked by Viacom’s brain trust after working on the integration of Paramount with Viacom and long-term planning for MTV and Showtime.

“If you are committed to being a brand and an IP generator, you have to be where your audience is. If 16-year-olds are spending all of their time on Snapchat and Instagram, then we’re going to talk to them [there].”

“He wasn’t one of those consultants who believes he has all the answers,” says Geoffrey Sands, who worked with Bakish at Booz Allen. “He has no ego, which is unusual in this industry, and he has no problem changing his mind about something if he’s presented with better facts. But you’d better have the facts.”

Even as a Viacom insider, Bakish was surprised at what he learned about the state of Viacom’s two core divisions when he took over. “Things were a little worse than I thought,” he says. Early on he went on a charm offensive with the heads of Hollywood’s major talent agencies. “They were pretty direct that we had a problem,” he says.

The brainstorming on the strategic plan coalesced around a strategy to make better use of Viacom’s resources by funneling most of the investment to six core brands: MTV, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., Comedy Central, BET and the remodeling of the lagging Spike TV into Paramount Network in January 2018.

“Bob made us all go through an exercise of ‘Who are you?’ — defining what your brand was and creating its mission. When you do that, you begin to realize that we’re not actually a cable company,” says Chris McCarthy, who has expanded his turf during Bakish’s tenure to include MTV, VH1, Logo and, most recently, CMT (Read a conversation with McCarthy here). “We have to fix cable, absolutely, but while cable is declining, our universe is expanding.”

Bakish says he was gratified by the response to Project New Day. It proved to him that the culture of inventiveness that led America to demand its MTV, and much more, had not died. “I wanted to make sure people understood that our mission was to unlock the real opportunity inside Viacom and that it would take everyone working together to do it,” he says. “It really created a lot of excitement, which is exactly what I wanted.”

One of Viacom’s biggest swings has been the launch of Viacom Digital Studios to help rev up the overall level of content production at the company. Kelly Day, former chief business officer of Awesomeness, joined the company in the fall of 2017 to head the division. A few months later, Day pounced on the chance for Viacom to buy Awesomeness from NBCUniversal, Hearst and Verizon for around $40 million.

Bakish realized the advertising market on the cable channels wasn’t likely to grow much, so the only way to expand the company’s inventory of commercial time was to move into fresh programming formats on new platforms. Day’s group is producing advertising-supported short-form programs — branded with MTV and other cablers — for Snap, YouTube and Facebook. Awesomeness was the production banner behind Netflix’s recent young-adult smash movie To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.

“If you are committed to being a brand and an IP generator, you have to be where your audience is,” Day says. “If 16-year-olds are spending all of their time on Snapchat and Instagram, then we’re going to talk to them on Snapchat and Instagram.”

The profits generated from these efforts so far, through licensing and advertising revenues, have been modest but highly promising.

“It’s not television dollars yet, but it’s growing very quickly, and it’s material to the company,” Day says.

His new direct reports credit Bakish as a supportive manager who affords the division lots of autonomy and is a great sounding board for ideas and problems.

Gianopulos, who signed on as chairman-CEO of Paramount in April 2017, has been off to a hot start with the sleeper success of A Quiet Place and Book Club and the worldwide engine of Mission: Impossible — Fallout.

“It became evident early on that he has all the elements of a great leader,” Gianopulos says of Bakish. “He’s innovative; he’s strategic. He has created this culture of collaboration inside of Viacom. And he recognized this wasn’t going to be an overnight effort.”

Robbins, director-producer and founder of Awesomeness, set up shop with Paramount in June 2017 to launch the Paramount Players division for branded films tied to MTV, Nickelodeon, BET and Comedy Central. After some persuasion by Bakish, Robbins shifted in October from Paramount Players to heading Nickelodeon, the cable channel that has continued to struggle during the past year even as viewership and digital activity has improved at MTV, Comedy Central and BET. Taking on a linear channel was an unexpected move for Robbins after leading one of the most successful digital-content start-ups of recent years.

What changed Robbins’ mind was the idea of running Nickelodeon not as a cable channel group but as a consumer brand. “It’s six linear networks, the largest animation studio in the world, a movie studio — it’s a brand,” he says. “It’s one of the few media brands in the world that actually matters. ” Also, Bakish “finally convinced me that they needed me,” Robbins admits.

Wall Street will be closely watching the progress of Nickelodeon under Robbins in the coming months, given that the brand had been the company’s single biggest earnings driver during its 1990s and 2000s heyday.

“The crown jewel at Viacom is Nickelodeon,” says Morgan Stanley’s Swinburne. “I’m interested to see what they do with Nickelodeon in the three- to five-year [term] in an unbundled, OTT world.”

As he begins his third year at the helm, Bakish has become more comfortable with the spotlight and the pressure that comes with leading a company of about 10,400 employees worldwide.

Amid the Shakespearean public battles surrounding Sumner Redstone’s empire, Bakish has not always been painted in the most flattering light as media-biz watchers obsess over the fate of Viacom and CBS Corp. The discord between Shari Redstone and former CBS chairman-CEO Moonves over her desire to bring Viacom and CBS together spurred industry gossip that she favored Bakish for the job of leading the combined companies because he would be more subservient than Moonves. That dynamic changed for good in September, when Moonves was forced out in the face of a cascade of sexual-misconduct claims dating back decades.

“You begin to read a lot about yourself in the press, which is kind of a strange thing,” Bakish says when asked about adjusting to a much more public job. “After a while you realize the press is going to write what the press writes. I’ve got thick skin.”

Bakish insists that the unknowns about Viacom’s future, and his own, cannot become excuses for inactivity.

“The easiest thing to do is to be distracted by this, but if we get distracted by this, we’re not going to be able to move as far along as we planned to had we been focused,” he says. “I said to the management team, ‘The only thing I know at the end of this fiscal year is you’re going to be talking to one of two people — you’re going to be talking to me or you’re going to be talking to someone else. In either case, what you don’t want to do is to say, “Well, we were planning on doing X, but we were kind of distracted.”’

“I said, ‘Let’s not worry about [CBS]. Let’s stay focused. We just gotta keep putting points on the board and let whatever happens happen.’”

Raph, Leo, Donnie and Mikey emerge from the sewers and tap into undiscovered ninja powers in Nickelodeon's reimagined, 2D-animated series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which made its world debut on Monday 17th September 2018 on Nickelodeon USA. The action-comedy series follows the band of brothers as they discover new powers and encounter a mystical world they never knew existed beneath the streets of New York City. Following its US launch, the series is currently rolling out globally across Nickelodeon's channels and branded blocks in 170+ countries and territories.

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles follows the Turtles on all-new adventures as they master new powers, encounter absurd mutants and battle bizarre villains, each with their own motivations. Ranging from mystics, mutants and madmen, new creatures and villains emerge to take on Raph, Leo, Donnie and Mikey in battles across New York City. From the tallest skyscraper to the dankest sewer drain, the brothers learn to work together and navigate the perils of New York City and the hidden realms below in order to fulfill their destiny to become a team of heroes.

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stars the voice talent of Omar Miller (Ballers) as Raph, a jagged-shelled snapping turtle; Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation) as Leo, a red-eared slider turtle; Josh Brener (Silicon Valley) as Donnie, a soft-shell turtle; Brandon Mychal Smith (You’re The Worst) as Mikey, a box turtle; Kat Graham (The Vampire Diaries) as April O’Neil, a street savvy native New Yorker; and Eric Bauza (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) as Splinter, father figure and sensei to the Turtles.

The line-up of guest stars voicing new mutants and bizarre villains in the US-dub of RTMNT includes: Lena Headey (Game of Thrones) as Big Mama, a gigantic spider mutant; John Michael Higgins (Pitch Perfect) as Warren Stone, a former news anchor turned mutant earthworm; Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants) as Albearto, a singing, birthday-loving rampaging robot; Sam Richardson and Tim Simons (Veep) as Muninn and Huginn, gargoyles who are never far from their master, Baron Draxum; John Rotten Lydon (Public Image Ltd 'PiL' and Sex Pistols) as Meat Sweats, a power-hungry mutant pig; Rhys Darby (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) as Hypno-Potamus, a mutant magician/hippo; and Jorge Gutierrez (El Tigre) as Ghostbear, a human pro-wrestler champion with a taste for cheating.

As of now, the series has aired 10 episodes in the U.S. with most episodes consisting of two 11-minute long segments. The writing makes use of a lot of comedy and impressive fight sequences.

The first season consists of 26 episodes, and the show already been renewed for a second season. So, yay!

Kenan Thompson Talks Reconnecting With Kel Mitchell, Possible 'Good Burger' Sequel [Updated]

$

"We've been talking about it for a long time. We've had meetings about it, so it's in the higher powers' hands cause we've both said that we're down to do it," he said about the potential film follow-up.


Kenan Thompson discussed the possibility of a Good Burger sequel when he visited Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Thursday, December 6!

A fan called into the show and asked Thompson if he and Kel Mitchell plan to make a sequel to their 1997 comedy movie that evolved from their hit sketch on Nickelodeon's All That.

"We've been talking about it for a long time. We've had meetings about it, so it's in the higher powers' hands cause we've both said that we're down to do it," he said about the potential sequel.

Thompson and Mitchell got their start on the Nickelodeon sketch comedy series All That, and later earned their own spin-off series, Kenan & Kel.

Thompson also revealed that the show and movie's creator Dan Schneider was responsible for him and Mitchell reconnecting and ultimately doing a Good Burger bit for The Tonight Show in 2015.

"A friend of his was working on The Tonight Show and they had that idea to do the reunion and he reached out to me and then I called Kel and we talked," he said. "We played phone tag for three days, but we finally talked and we were like, 'Yeah, we might as well do it' or whatever. It was a nice 40-minute conversation that we had."

"We hadn't spoken in a long time," he continued. "It was nice to reconnect because it was like picking up right where we left off."

When Cohen followed up on the caller’s questions and Thompson’s answers, asking if the two Nickelodeon alums were keeping in touch, his guest said they were, sharing that the two now talk "all the time."

The news follows Thompson and Mitchell recently competing on a special edition of Nickelodeon's hit Double Dare revival.

You can watch Thompson explain Good Burger 2's status in the YouTube video below!



Kel expressed a similar sentiment in a Buzzfeed interview from March. “The conversations have started,” he said. “There’s something in the water, everything’s coming back. It will definitely be awesome and there was a meeting! They’re just working everything out contractually, so just keep your ears to the streets.”

Since its release in 1997, Good Burger has remained a fan-favorite, and has fans spanning across multiple generations. Ariana Grande remains a huge fan, per a recent The A.V. Club oral history of the movie, while Tyler, the Creator is known to have a poster for the movie hanging above his bed. Endorsements from either of them would be enough to boost the film’s box office, and, hey, it’s not like there isn’t plenty of economic commentary to be made about a pair of 40-year olds still jockeying the register at a fast food restaurant.

There’s actually a sequel in the form of a book called Good Burger 2 Go, where somebody forgets their change and Ed follows them across the country to get it back to them.

Another caller to Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohenasked Thompson who was the worst-behaved musical guest to ever appear on Saturday Night Live, NBC's hit sketch show that Thompson is currently the longest-tenured cast member of. The caller noted that Bill Hader said the answer was Justin Bieber, though he wondered if Kanye West is the new titleholder.

"That's a great question. I mean, it's up to everyone's opinion," he said. "I don't know. I didn't really have that much of a bad time with Bieber. I like him."

"Kanye was super far off the ripper type of weirdness," he said about West. "The ripper of weirdness is like here and he was way over there."

West most recently appeared on the 44th season premiere of the show. The rapper donned a "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) hat and gave a pro-Trump speech after the TV broadcast ended.

Thompson is currently the longest-tenured SNL cast member in the show's history. He joined in 2003 and finally received an Emmy nomination for his acting in 2018. He shared the Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for the "Come Back Barack" sketch with co-star Chris Redd and composer Eli Brueggemann.

Update (12/12): Unfortunately, it looks like we may be waiting a little while longer for a Good Burger sequel. TMZ's Nickelodeon sources say there has been NO movement on a Good Burger sequel because there has been so much turnover at the top of the network's leadership.

Kenan sparked this new wave of hope for a sequel when he recently revealed on Watch What Happens Live that he and Kel would be open to a Good Burger reunion movie ... but the kitchen remains closed because it hasn't happened.

TMZ's Kenan and Kel sources say longtime Nick producer Dan Schneider pitched the reunion idea, but he's no longer working for the network. TMZ are told no one at Nick has seriously approached the idea, much less had a realistic conversation.

However, it's not all bad for those with a case of '90s nostalgia, because new Nick president Brian Robbins directed GB. Brian is obviously a fan of the movie, so who knows what could happen?

The good news ... it sounds like All That is making a comeback, so Nick fans might get their Kenan and Kel fix no matter what.
