Arturo At The Airport | 'Operation Dad' Sneak Peek | The Casagrandes | Nickelodeon

The Casagrandes will finally give a look at Dr. Santiago in the show's first-ever special, "Operation Dad", premiering Monday, January 20, 2020 at 7:00 p.m., with Eugenio Derbez (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) voicing the character. The physician, who normally works in Peru with Physicians on Mission will be in town to visit and Ronnie Anne tries to come up with a plan to keep him in town.


While Dr. Santiago is divorced from Maria, they still have a great relationship and he does all he can to catch up with Ronnie Anne and Bobby while working. He will also send packages and do video chats with Ronnie Anne while caring for the children in the clinics throughout the world. Ronnie Anne and her father are similar in many of their personality traits and get along wonderfully so can understand her wanting him to move to the same town. That being said we know that Dr. Santiago’s work is very important to children across the globe, so it will be interesting to see what plan Ronnie Anne and Sid come up with.

Nickelodeon is debuting a brand-new half-hour special of The Casagrandes, “Operation Dad,” on Monday, Jan. 20, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT), starring Eugenio Derbez (Overboard). During the episode, Ronnie Anne tries to convince her Dad (voiced by Eugenio Derbez) to move to the city while he is visiting. With the help of Sid, she devises a plan that seems too good to fail.

You can watch a preview of The Casagrandes, “Operation Dad,” below as well as checking out some pictures from the episode. In the clip we get to see Ronnie Anne meeting her dad at the airport and driving back to the building where Ronnie Annie now lives. This is going to be a great episode and fans will be glad to learn more about Dr. Santiago. Getting Eugenio Derbez to do the voice work is a great casting choice as well.







Eugenio recently talked to HOLA! USA about the Nickelodeon show. “I think we need that in this country, we are millions of Latinos and we finally have a series that is talking about us,” said Eugenio, adding “The series is about family, how we bond with each other, how we succeed through our problems and stay united.

“Understanding that at the end of the day, we all love each other, so there is a lot of love behind this series and I think this is the main message of the show.”

From Animation Magazine:

Clip: Eugenio Derbez Lands in ‘Casagrandes’ Special “Operation Dad”

A loving cartoon family reconnects this month, when Nickelodeon debuts the brand-new, hour-hour The Casagrandes special “Operation Dad” on Monday, January 20 at 7 p.m. ET/PT. In this outing, Ronnie Anne tries to convince her visiting father Dr. Santiago (voiced by Eugenio Derbez of Overboard) to move to the city — and, with the help of Sid, devise a plan that seems too good to fail!

Dr. Santiago is amicably divorced from Ronnie Anne’s mother Maria, and he is a physician living and working in Peru. He works with Physicians on Missions, an organization that cares for children, and provides vaccines and health care in clinics throughout the world. Like his daughter, Dr. Santiago is adventurous, funny, kindhearted and charismatic. He and Ronnie Anne share a special bond despite the distance. They regularly catch up via video chat, and she’s always excited to receive care packages from his world travels.

From HOLA! USA:

WATCH EUGENIO DERBEZ AS DR. SANTIAGO IN AN EXCLUSIVE CLIP OF ‘THE CASAGRANDES’

The eighth episode will premiere on Monday, January 20.

Eugenio Derbez’s new animated series The Casagrandes is a cartoon meant for Latinx families. It tells the story of a family’s adventures once they move in with their multi-generational Mexican-American extended family above their local Mercado. "We can finally see us, Latinos, reflected on screen,” Eugenio tells HOLA! USA about the Nickelodeon show. “I think we need that in this country, we are millions of Latinos and we finally have a series that is talking about us.”

This month, fans of the show will continue the journey with the fun family when the eighth episode premieres on January 20. Titled “Operation Dad,” the story will follow Ronnie Anne (Izabella Alvarez) as she tries to convince her father Dr. Santiago (voiced by Eugenio Derbez) to stop working as a physician in Peru and move to the city where she and her family live. From the home dynamic to the many traditions, The Casagrandes sheds a spotlight on how Latinx families live.

“The series is about family, how we bond with each other, how we succeed through our problems and stay united,” Eugenio continued. “Understanding that at the end of the day, we all love each other, so there is a lot of love behind this series and I think this is the main message of the show.”

You can watch an exclusive clip above and catch the full episode on Monday, January 20, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.

Nickelodeon’s new family game show, The Crystal Maze, hosted by Comedian/writer Adam Conover, will premiere Friday, Jan. 24, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT).

An all-new version of the legendary UK hit series, The Crystal Maze will feature Conover as the Maze Master, charged with guiding one family team through physical and mental challenges set within an elaborate labyrinth of four giant and immersive themed zones: Aztec, Eastern, Futuristic and Industrial.

The premiere episode of The Crystal Maze will feature a family from Houston, Texas, tackling a range of challenges in the maze for the first time ever for U.S. audiences.

In each episode, the youngest family member takes on the role of team Captain. The successful completion of escape-room style challenges are rewarded with a “time crystal” granting the family five seconds in the centerpiece final zone called the Crystal Dome.

The more crystals gathered throughout the game, the more time each family has for a dramatic clock countdown challenge inside the iconic Dome for a chance to win up to $25,000.

This season will feature families from: Scottsdale, Ariz.; Lake Forest, Calif.; Eastvale, Calif.; St. Augustine, Fla.; Windemere, Fla.; Chester, Va.; Germantown, Tenn.; Carollton, Texas; and Wheaton, Ill.

To celebrate the launch of The Crystal Maze, Nickelodeon has digitally premiered an episode from the all new gameshow on the network's YouTube channel, which you can watch below!:

The Crystal Maze 🏃‍♀️ Full Episode of New Game Show! | Nick



Get ready for the FIRST episode of the wild new game show, The Crystal Maze! Watch as families from around the nation have to work together to escape the devious traps of the Maze Master for a HUGE cash prize. Can they make it out in time? You’ll have to watch to find out. Don’t forget to watch the full series airing on Nickelodeon starting Friday, Jan 24th at 7pm EST!

A current ratings smash in the UK, The Crystal Maze has been a beloved family and cult favorite since the mid ‘90s, with the current global popularity of the escape room phenomena reigniting interest further. The show was recently rebooted to great success with celebrity, charity and family seasons in UK, Australia and beyond.

The Crystal Maze is co-produced by Bunim/Murray Productions (The Real World, The Challenge, Born This Way) and RDF Television (Secret Life of 4 Year Olds, Wife Swap, Shipwrecked) under parent company Banijay Group. Gil Goldschein and Maria Pepin from Bunim/Murray Productions, Neale Simpson from Fizz, part of RDF Television, and Stephen David from Stephen David Entertainment serve as executive producers. Production of The Crystal Maze for Nickelodeon is overseen by Rob Bagshaw, Executive Vice President, Unscripted Content.




Production on the new series (10 one-hour episodes) took place on the show's original set located at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol, England, earlier during summer 2019.

Devised by Jacques Antoine, the UK version of The Crystal Maze was originally hosted by Richard O'Brien (Rocky Horror), followed by Ed Tudor-Pole. The reboot was originally presented by Stephen Merchant (for Stand Up To Cancer), and currently by Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd, Travel Man) with his "hand." The show's theme song is the legendary "Force Field", below. The show is currently filmed at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol.

Nickelodeon International Acquires Rights to 'Just Add Magic'

Sinking Ship Entertainment has licensed Amazon Prime’s hit series Just Add Magic to Nickelodeon in an international pan-territory deal!


Nickelodeon picked up the pay-TV rights for the live-action series, aimed at kids 6 to 11, in an international pan-territory deal (excluding the Americas and China).

Produced by Amazon Studios and distributed by Sinking Ship Entertainment, the series started airing on Nickelodeon in the UK & Ireland first, late last year. All other territories will follow throughout this year.

There are currently three seasons, comprising 50 22-minute episodes, with a spin-off season, Just Add Magic: Mystery City, launching in early 2020 on Amazon followed by Nickelodeon later this year.

Aimed at six to 11s, the show is based on a book of the same name by Cindy Callaghan and follows Kelly, Darbie and Hannah as they discover a recipe book full of magic. When it first launched, the show set a record for US Prime Video streams and hours watched, making its premiere weekend the most successful at the time for an Amazon Original Kids series. Amazon has since halted commissioning original kids programming.

“We are happy to be able to introduce the enchanting stories of friendship, family and adventure in Just Add Magic to Nickelodeon International audiences on a pan-territory basis,” said Layla Lewis, Senior Vice President (SVP) of Nickelodeon’s global acquisitions and partnerships.

Sinking Ship’s Marilyn Kynaston added, “We’re thrilled that Just Add Magic has found such an ideal linear home with Nickelodeon International. More kids will have the chance to experience the magic of this series!”

Sinking Ship picked up the distribution rights for the series early last year, immediately locking in deals with Discovery Kids (LatAm) and Family Channel and Groupe TV’s Yoopa (Canada).

But it’s not the only distributor trying to sell the second-window TV rights to the SVOD’s originals: Zodiak Kids signed a deal in 2018 to manage the linear broadcast rights to 17 of Amazon Studio’s original children’s series and holiday specials. Canada’s 9 Story Media Group also acquired Vancouver-based Slap Happy Cartoons’ animated series The Hollow.

'SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle For Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated' Gets Two Special Editions

$

First revealed back in June, THQ Nordic and Nickelodeon have announced that SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, the remake of the much-loved GameCube-era platformer, is getting not one, but two special editions that include a whole load of physical SpongeBob goodies. You might want to start saving now for its non-specific '2020' release date, though, because they won't come cheap - especially the F.U.N. Edition.


Update (1/20/2020) - Nintendo has reportedly announced that SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated will be released on Sunday, May 24, 2020!

The first of the two bundles is the Shiny Edition. You can view it the trailer below and it includes the following:



- An 8"/20cm SpongeBob Figurine with Golden Spatula and flexible tongue
- Wallstickers
- 6 Lithographs
- SpongeBob SquarePants tennis socks
- The Game itself
- SRP: $149.99/€149.99/£139.99

The gorgeously sculpted and painted 8″/20cm miniature statue of SpongeBob depicts him wielding his Golden Spatula and letting loose a thunderous tongue-flicking victory screech as his trusty pet snail Gary gives him a perplexed look.

The pricier and shinier F.U.N. Edition, which you'll see in the trailer below, includes all that plus some extras:



- An 8"/20cm SpongeBob Figurine with Golden Spatula and flexible tongue
- A 7"/18cm Figurine of Patrick
- The Sandy 8"/20cm Figurine
- Wallstickers
- A set of Tiki Keyrings
- 6 Lithographs
- SpongeBob SquarePants tennis socks
- The Game itself
- SRP: $299.99/€299.99/£259.99

The statues and assorted goodies certainly look lovely, and even though they are a bit pricier than just buying the game, die-hard SpongeBob fans may well be tempted by these treasure troves.

Both editions will be available for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch when the game launches in 2020 and are ready for pre-orders now.

While Amazon UK is showing all editions available to pre-order now, the U.S. branch at this time has all editions listed as "Currently Unavailable".

An updated edition of the much-loved 2003 platform adventure, Battle for Bikini Bottom has been remade from scratch by Austrian developer Purple Lamp Studios, rebuilding the original's colorful world and characters for a whole new generation of video game and SpongeBob fans. Players take control of Patrick, Sandy and, of course, SpongeBob himself, in a quest to thwart the evil Plankton and his nefarious schemes.


If you missed the original announcement of the remake back in June, here's a summary of the salient points from the official blurb:

- Play as SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy and use their unique sets of skills
- Thwart Plankton's evil plan to rule Bikini Bottom with his army of wacky robots
- Meet countless characters from the beloved series
- Faithful remake of one of the best SpongeBob games ever created
- High-end visuals, modern resolutions and carefully polished gameplay
- Brand new horde mode multiplayer for up to two players, online and offline
- Restored content that was cut from the original game like the Robo Squidward boss fight and more

Are you fan enough to splash out on these special submarinal editions? Let me know how far your fandom goes with a comment in the usual place.

MUMBAI: Nickelodeon India, the category leader that has remained the undisputed No. 1 kids network in India over the past 6 years has added yet another feather in its cap. Nick and Sonic are now available for viewers to watch in 8 languages - Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, Marathi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada!


This step fortifies Nickelodeon’s category leadership, making Nick and Sonic the only two channels that are available in 8 languages making them the most inclusive kids television channels, entertaining kids across the country - be it north, south, east or west!

Enhancing the engagement and viewing experience, all the kids’ favorite shows such as Motu Patlu, Ninja Hattori, Rudra, Golmaal Jr, Shiva and many more are now available to them in their preferred language.

The language feeds will provide linguistic simplifications, drive a deeper connect and give viewers and advertisers an opportunity to engage with the brand in a very relatable manner. The market expansion will be amplified locally (Kerala, Maharashtra, Gujarat & Bengal) through micro targeted marquee marketing initiatives that will drive awareness and visibility of Nick and Sonic being available in the respective local languages. TV commercials with the regional flavor on local channels, innovative regional print ads, disruptive on-ground visibility and activations along with key radio stations will amplify this message.

Commenting on the announcement, Viacom18 Hindi Mass Entertainment & Kids TV Network head Nina Elavia Jaipuria said: “We at Nickelodeon have always told stories that have delighted our audiences. Our adorable toons have formed an unbreakable bond with kids. We now bring our winning stories even closer to our fans by delivering them in a language of their choice. In a country like India where there are multiple spoken dialects and regional content consumption is only growing, it gives us great joy in engaging with our viewers in the language that they are most comfortable with.

The 8 language feed options are now available across leading cable and DTH platforms for both Nick and Sonic.

With a new dynamic interface and friendly browsing experience that includes fan-favourite Nick Jr. characters, the ad-free service also features "Garden Academy", a new and exclusive section of NOGGIN that has been created by Nickelodeon in collaboration with the Ecuadorian of the prestigious Swiss academy The Bénédict International Language School. “Garden Academy” offers an English curriculum for preschoolers through new activities and characters.

In addition, the new version of Noggin has incorporated new educational games, a section for music videos, as well as interactive videos that invite children to have fun with their favorite characters by touching and sliding the screen, or even speaking to foster learning experiences that promote science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) and socio-emotional skills.

Since the launch of the application, Noggin has experienced continuous growth in terms of its subscriber base - including 100,000 subscribers in México alone - and has continued to double the number of programs and episodes available on the platform year-on-year (YoY). To date, the application presents a catalog with more than 30 preschool titles and more than 1,000 episodes and educational episodes and modules combined.


"We are very excited about the new version of Noggin," said Ezequiel “Quelo” Fonseca Zas, Senior Vice President (SVP) of Emerging and Cross-Platform Business at ViacomCBS Networks Americas.

NICKELODEON LATAM LANZA UNA NUEVA VERSIÓN DE SU APP NOGGIN

El servicio premium de aprendizaje interactivo para niños en edad preescolar ya está disponible en América Latina

Newsline Report - OTT - Nickelodeon LATAM lanza una nueva versión de su app NOGGIN
La última versión de Noggin, el servicio de “edutainment” de Nick Jr. para niños en edad preescolar ya está disponible para Latinoamérica. El servicio actualizado, que ofrece contenido Premium para que los niños aprendan jugando y tengan una experiencia de navegación dinámica y amigable, puede descargarse en Play Store (Android), App Store (iOS) o ingresar desde la web. Noggin también estará disponible a través de operadores de cable, de internet y telefonía móvil de la región.

Con una nueva interfaz que incluye los personajes favoritos de Nick Jr., el servicio de acceso seguro y sin publicidad de América Latina también cuenta con "Garden Academy", una nueva sección exclusiva de Noggin, y creada en colaboración con la oficina de Ecuador de la prestigiosa academia suiza “The Bénédict International Language School”. “Garden Academy” ofrece un plan de estudios en inglés para niños en edad preescolar a través de nuevas actividades y personajes.

Además, Noggin ha incorporado nuevos juegos educativos, una sección de videos musicales, así como también videos interactivos que invitan a los niños a divertirse con sus personajes favoritos tocando y deslizando la pantalla, o incluso hablando para fomentar experiencias de aprendizaje que promueven la ciencia, la tecnología, la ingeniería, las matemáticas y las habilidades socioemocionales.

Desde el lanzamiento de la aplicación, Noggin ha experimentado un crecimiento continuo en términos de su base de suscriptores y ha duplicado la cantidad de programas y episodios disponibles año tras año. A la fecha, la aplicación presenta un catálogo con más de 30 títulos preescolares y más de 1,000 episodios y módulos educativos combinados.

"Estamos muy entusiasmados con la nueva versión de Noggin", comentó Ezequiel Fonseca Zas, vicepresidente senior de negocios emergentes y multiplataforma de ViacomCBS Networks Americas. "La aplicación renovada ofrece una interfaz de usuario muy amigable, manteniendo la seguridad en el entorno virtual, que es tan importante para los padres. Estamos seguros de que los niños y sus padres estarán encantados con el contenido y las nuevas características de Noggin", agregó.

Noggin, el streaming de Nickelodeon para los más pequeños de la casa

La plataforma de Nick Jr. se enfoca en los niños de 0 a 6 años y en ella pueden aprender inglés, ver capítulos de programas como Paw Patrol y jugar.

Noggin mezcla contenido didáctivo y de entretenimiento para desarrollar habilidades como el trabajo en equipo, gusto por las matemáticas y la ciencia y la resolución de problemas. (Cortesía: Noggin)

Paw Patrol, Dora la Exploradora y Blue formarán parte de la oferta de Noggin, la plataforma de streaming de Nick Jr. que quiere conquistar a los más pequeños ofreciendo no solo los capítulos de las series, sino juegos y actividades educativas por 49 pesos al mes.
ADVERTISING

La firma realizó un estudio en diversos países y determinó que lo que los papás quieren para los niños de menos de seis años es que sus hijos accedan a un producto mucho más educativo y por ello esta plataforma opta por tener un 70% de contenido y 30% de educación y entretenimiento.

Entre las actividades que los pequeños pueden tomar está The garden academy, una sección con 40 episodios diseñados para que los niños aprendan inglés a través de actividades interactivas. Y es justo esta interfaz didáctica la que diferencia a Noggin de otras plataformas como Disney+, Netflix y Apple TV+, que también se han enfocado en la creación de contenido infantil .

“Somos el productor más grande de contenidos para el mundo de preescolar y necesitábamos tener un producto que se diferenciara mucho de Nick Jr. y Nickelodeon (...) Vemos la industria muy competida, más en el mercado de adultos porque hay muchas plataformas, pero en este mundo sí tenemos una oportunidad de ser los líderes”, indicó Eduardo Lebrija, director general para Latinoamérica Norte y VP senior de Ad Sales Panregional en ViacomCBS Networks Americas.

Uno de los competidores directos de esta oferta de endutaiment es YouTube Kids, la app diseñada para niños de entre 2 y 8 años. La plataforma para los más pequeños fue creada para asegurarse de que el contenido que los pequeños ven es seguro y familiar.

De acuerdo con Statista, el 64% de los niños entre 2 y 5 años y el 78% de los de 6 a 11 años utilizan una tablet y YouTube es la aplicación más usada para ver videos en línea. La plataforma de videos de Google cuenta con canales como Chuchu TV Nursery y El Reino infantil que cuentan con 30.5 y 29.2 millones de suscriptores.

Respecto a Disney+, aún sin fecha de llegada para el mercado mexicano, el ejecutivo dijo que la estrategia de ambas compañías es distinta.

“Lo de Disney+ es muy interesante porque siendo el líder en su nicho vimos cómo le quitó oferta a otras plataformas de contenido. La estrategia de Noggin no es la misma. Contando a Disney, en preescolar tenemos más y mejor contenido en el sentido de lo que ofrecemos a los más pequeños”, agregó.

Noggin ya cuenta con 100,000 suscriptores en México, pero su apuesta para el mercado mexicano es crecer en doble dígito en suscriptores y aumentar el número de exhibidores. Actualmente,la plataforma puede descargarse de la Play Store y la App Store. Además, a lo largo del 2020 se podrá ver en Total Play, Cinepolis Klic y Roku.

Pero el contenido de Nickelodeon para niños mayores continuará exhibiéndose en la aplicación de Paramount+ y también se producirán nuevas películas animadas y series animadas para Netflix .

From Xataka México:

Noggin, el servicio de streaming de Nick Jr se renueva en México: 1500 episodios para niños por 49 pesos al mes

Noggin inició como un canal de televisión en 1999 dirigido para el público pre-escolar de entre los 3 y 6 años y para 2015 decidieron dar el salto a una plataforma totalmente digital que recibe un “lavado de cara”. La empresa anunció que su nueva interfaz será mucho más amigable, además de estar acompañada de los personajes más importantes de Nick Jr.

En Xataka México tuvimos la oportunidad de charlar con Eduardo Lebrija, director general para Latinoamérica norte y vicepresidente senior de ad sales panregional en ViacomCBS Networks Americas para que nos cuenta un poco más de los cambios en la plataforma y del contenido que estrenarán como parte de las novedades.

El cambio más grande de la actualización radica en el cambio de imagen, donde la interfaz será más sencilla y práctica para cualquier usuario. Actualmente cuentan con más de 1,000 episodios que catalogan como “icónicos” de la biblioteca completa, aclarando que existe contenido adicional como videos cortos, musicales o contenido educativo que se actualiza semanalmente.

Una de las adiciones más interesantes es ‘Garden Academy’, un programa que señalan fue diseñado para enseñar inglés a los más pequeños, por medio de contenido y actividades interactivas, el programa cuenta con 40 diferentes episodios.

Hablando de los contenidos interactivos, Lebrija nos comentó que se incorporó nuevos juegos educativos, además de una sección de videos musicales y un apartado donde los personajes más populares de la plataforma invitan a los menores a interactuar en diferentes videos.

“El contenido interactivo que ofrece Noggin permite a los niños interactuar tocando y deslizando la pantalla, o incluso hablando para fomentar experiencias educativas que promueven la ciencia, la tecnología, la ingeniería, las matemáticas y las habilidades socioemocionales.”

Respecto al contenido creado para menores, preguntamos si en realidad existen estudios que respalden el contenido y que demuestren que puedan ser educativos, ante eso nos mencionó que en 2018 Nickelodeon lanzó una encuesta, donde el 48% de los entrevistados pidieron más contenido educacional en la plataforma y señala que todo ese contenido es creado por expertos que cuentan con más de 30 años de experiencia en educación preescolar.

Entre sus series más populares se encuentran programas como ‘Paw Patrol’, ‘Dora y sus amigos: Into the City!’, ‘Blaze y los Monster Machines’ y ‘Rusty Rivets’.
Por el momento el servicio solo se encuentra disponible con una aplicación para iOS y Android, con un precio de 49 pesos al mes, pero también se puede ver por medio del navegador de internet y de algunos operadores de cable. Entre sus planes, esperan que durante 2020 la aplicación pueda llegar a Roku, Android TV y hasta en libros electrónicos.

Actualmente Noggin es definido por la empresa como el servicio de suscripción de video sin publicidad de Nick Jr en México, ofreciendo el contenido más popular del canal, con la posibilidad que lo pueden ver en cualquier momento y sin interrupciones.

Nutz Productions set to shoot Sky, a new adventure tween drama series by the creator of Greenhouse Academy

JANUARY 16, 2020


Filming on Sky (2 seasons, 20x22’ – Nutz Productions), a new adventure drama from the creator and producers of Nickelodeon Israel's The Greenhouse and Netflix's Greenhouse Academy– Giora Chamizer and Nutz Productions – together with writer Noa Pnini, will begin in February 2020 on various locations sites all over Israel.

Sky tells the story of a smart and assertive alien girl with the same name, whose spaceship accidentally crashes in a small town on earth. While waiting to be rescued, she hides by transforming herself into the body of the most popular girl in high school. With only three goofy friends to help her out, Sky must survive two weeks on earth without being discovered. Alongside the suspenseful dramatic plot, the general air of the show is whimsical and funny.

Sky is set to air on TeenNick Israel, the Nickelodeon-branded tweens-and-teens channel that launched in 2017, via the Hot Cable Network and Yes Satellite network. A premiere date has yet to be announced.

Giora Chamizer is responsible for some of the most successful young-adult TV Dramas in Israel. He has created and written several hit teen dramas, among them the popular show Hahamama (The Greenhouse). The series, produced by Nutz Productions and aired on Nickelodeon Israel, was voted best teen show by the Israeli Academy of Film and Television. Netflix later remade it under the title The Greenhouse Academy, with Chamizer acting as the series' showrunner and Nutz Productions producing all seasons in Israel. The American adaptation was launched successfully in over 190 countries, and a third season aired in October this year. Season 4 is set to launch in 2020. Chamizer is also responsible for The Hood, which debuted on Nickelodeon in Israel and has also been sold to the Portuguese RTP2 channel, which premiered the series in 2016 under the title O Bairro.

Noa Pnini is a screenwriter and actor. In recent years Pnini has collaborated with Giora Chamizter on various TV projects, among them The Hood, The Greenhouse, House Arrest and Foxes.

Nutz Productions is the subsidiary production arm of Ananey Communications Group.

Nutz Productions, the subsidiary production arm of Ananey Communications Group, is currently in the midst of producing Spyders (formally titled The Covurts), the first original co-production between Nickelodeon International and the Israeli production studio — together with Israeli cable network HOT.

Spyders focuses on Anna and Noah Fisher, highly highly skilled undercover agents who work for a ECCO – Environmental Counter Crime Organization, and are tasked with fighting criminals who endanger nature or the environment. Little do they know that their three kids – Daniel (16), Nikki (15) and Tommy (12) – have discovered their secret occupation and have formed a task force of their own, named Spyders.

Nickelodeon has ordered 40 x 22-minute episodes, which will be distributed to Nickelodeon's international audiences spanning 170+ countries and territories via the brand’s more than 100 channels and branded blocks in 2020.

Ananey Communications Group represents the Viacom brands Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., Teen Nick, MTV and Comedy Central in Israel.

New Tween Drama for Teen Nick Israel

As she waits to be rescued, she transforms into the body of the most popular girl in high school to disguise herself. With the help of her trio of goofy friends, Sky must survive two weeks on Earth without being discovered.

Chamizer and Nutz Productions previously teamed up for Hahamama (The Greenhouse), which was remade for Netflix as The Greenhouse Academy, with Chamizer acting as the series’ showrunner and Nutz Productions producing all seasons in Israel. The U.S. adaptation has launched in over 190 countries. Season four is set to launch in 2020.

SpongyaBob: Spongya szökésben | IP-Duna Film


Országos bemutató: 2020. június 11.

SpongyaBob és barátai visszatérnek a filmvászonra, új szereplők társaságában - de hová lett Csigusz?!?


Looking for the U.S.-English (Anglais) version of the The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run trailer? Watch it it here!: http://nickalive.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-spongebob-movie-sponge-on-run-2020.html

From Mentrum:

Készülj fel, hogy visszatérj Bikinifenékre a Paramount Pictures új filmjében, ugyanis megérkezett a SpongyaBob: Spongya szökésben című film előzetese, magyar nyelven is.

Tegnap egy poszterrel csigázták fel a rajongók kedvét a marketingesek, ma pedig már meg is osztották a film első előzetesét. Míg a második filmben csak részben, addig a jövőre érkező folytatás már teljes egészében számítógép animált lesz. A Nickelodeon népszerű sorozatán alapuló folytatásban is őrületes kalandokban lesz része főhőseinknek.

A filmsorozat 3. részében Csigusz eltűnik. De, hogy hova vagy ki által, azt senki sem tudja. Ezért SpongyaBob és Patrik elindulnak megkeresni. Ezen az úton mondanuk sem kell, óriási kalandokba csöppennek és még új barátokra is szert tesznek. A korábbi részekben már megszokhattuk, hogy nagy Hollywood-i nevek is feltűnnek a filmekben. Az első részben David Hasselhoff, a másodikban Antonio Banderas, míg a következő részben Keanu Reeves tűnik fel Bölcs szerepében. Főszereplőink eljutnak Bikini fenék Las Vegasába is, vagyis Atlantic City elveszett Aranyvárosába. Vajon itt bukkannak Csiguszra is, vagy ég messzibb vidékre sodorja az autóút a két szerencsétlen duót?

Az előzetes megmutatja SpongyaBob és Csigusz első találkozását is, mely a Korall táborban történt meg. Érdekesség, hogy a SpongyaBob spinoffja is ezen a helyen fog játszódni, szóval akár a sorozat felvezetéseként is szolgálhat a film. Most viszont nézzük az előzetest magyar, illetve angol nyelven, majd a film poszterét

Gary Barlow joins forces with Paddington Bear for mega British new series

Paddington Bear and Gary Barlow fans – you’re in luck. The pair have joined forces for a new series and it’s just adorable. The Take That star has written and performed an adorable song for the opening credits, with the sequence taking us and everyone’s favourite bear around London. And it’s an absolute bop. The sweet bear is seen snacking on marmalade sandwiches as he waits for a train in the clip, as well as dancing through the parks of London, and floating away past Big Ben for the new Nick Jr series, The Adventures of Paddington Bear.

Basically, he’s loving life in the big city and we’re very here for it.

Ben Whishaw is reprising his role as the adorable bear, with Peppa Pig’s Morwenna Banks, Spy’s Darren Boyd, Dr Who’s Noel Clarke, Downton Abbey’s Phyllis Logan, and The League Of Gentlemen’s Reece Shearsmith also featuring in the series. Bobby Beynon and Sheena Bhattessa are also joining the cast, alongside Monica Lopera, Sabrina Newton-Fisher, David Schofield, Liz Sutherland-Lim and Jeremiah Waysome. Fans have got a little while to wait before the series airs, with it being released in March 2020, but it’s sure to be worth it.

It’s a good thing fans are getting their Paddington fix as a third animated movie could be a while away yet. After uncertainty from Ben, it was revealed that a third installment is in the works after the success of the first two – but director Paul King won’t be on board.

‘Paul is involved in it, I wanted him to be involved in it because I think he’s such a significant voice, but I don’t think he’ll direct it,’ producer David Heyman told Collider. ‘He worked on the idea… he comes up with the idea with Simon Farnaby and Mark Burton and then they develop it and come back for more, back and forth, and then it’ll get written and Paul will come in and stir it up a little bit. But he’s an incredible collaborator, Paul. Very positive, very supportive.’

Hey, we’re never going to say no to more Paddington. The Adventures of Paddington Bear will be released in March 2020 on Nick Jr.

With three of the four elements under her belt (Earth, Water and Fire), Korra seeks to master Air. Her quest leads her to Republic City, the modern “Avatar” world that is a virtual melting pot where benders and non-benders from all nations live and thrive. Korra quickly discovers that the metropolis is plagued by crime as well as a growing anti-bending revolution that threatens to rip the city apart. Under the tutelage of Aang’s son, Tenzin (J.K.

The Legend of Korra's story continues on in numerous books and graphic novels. Korrasami 4eva!

Nickelodeon Celebrates 20 Years of ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ at SF Sketchfest 2020

The stars of Nickelodeon's beloved animated series SpongeBob SquarePants left Bikini Bottom for the Castro Theatre to continue celebrating two decades of serving those wishing for nautical nonsense at SF Sketchfest!

More than 700 fans of all ages, some in costume, packed the San Francisco movie house Sunday, Jan. 19, to hear the voices of their favorite sea-dwelling characters discuss their work on SpongeBob, the No. 1 children’s animated series for the past 17 years. The panel, hosted by Busy Philipps, included the voice of SpongeBob, Tom Kenny; Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick); Rodger Bumpass (Squidward); and Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy), as well as the animated series’ co-executive producers Vincent Waller and Marc Ceccarelli.

There was a live table read of the season two episode “Pressure,” plus the premiere of a new episode titled “Escape From Beneath Glove World”, which aired on Nickelodeon the day before as part of its upcoming 13th season. But the less-than-two-hour event focused more on the cartoon’s history and impact as part of the “Best Year Ever,” Nickelodeon’s tribute to the 20th anniversary of SpongeBob.

Nickelodeon debuted the show on July 17, 1999, originally planning for about three seasons. It went on to win five Emmys, sell $13 billion in merchandise, spawn a Tony award-winning Broadway musical which is now touring North America and provide images for some of the most widely used GIFs and memes on social media.

The show also helped kick off the voice-acting careers for many in the cast, including notable screen actors Fagerbakke (Coach) and Brown (The Highlander, Green Mile). The show is driven by the actors giving wild, unhinged performances, which the panel described as “cathartic.”

“We save a whole lot on psychiatry fees,” Bumpass said.

Being the voice of SpongeBob has been a boon for Kenny, who has worked on hundreds of projects since the show’s premiere, including other hit animated series like Rick & Morty (Mr. Meeseeks) and American Dad.

Kenny came into SpongeBob creator Stephen Hillenburg’s orbit thanks to Rocko’s Modern Life, the first successful cartoon job for both of them. Rocko’s Modern Life lasted four seasons, and after it went off the air in late 1996, Hillenburg approached Kenny about his next project, which eventually became SpongeBob.

The first images that Hillenburg had for the character were some watercolor paintings he kept in his desk. When Hillenburg showed them to Kenny, he said it was like the “opening of the Ark of the Covenant.”

“I said, ‘Steve, if anyone else plays this character, I will be sad for the rest of my life,’” Kenny said.

The memory of Hillenburg, who died of ALS in 2017, was ever-present during Sunday’s event. The panel credited his vision and ear for voice talent for the show’s success. And though he only served as SpongeBob’s showrunner for its first three seasons, he stayed involved in the show up to his death.

In the months before he died, Hillenburg consulted on The SpongeBob Musical, which became a hit on Broadway and is scheduled to come to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Theatre on Feb. 12-16.

“He wasn’t positive that musical was going to work until he saw the dress rehearsal. After he saw it, I watched him breathe a sigh of relief,” Waller recalled.

The yearlong promotional campaign for the show’s 20th anniversary, which has included a new line of toys, shoes and the launch of an official YouTube channel, culminates in May with the premiere of a 3-D movie, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, featuring Keanu Reeves and Awkwafina.

“We’re doing more SpongeBob than we’ve done ever. It’s a bigger part of my life than it was 20 years ago,” Kenny said. “It always blows my mind that SpongeBob took over the world. Twenty years later and it’s everywhere.”

'Happy Happy Joy Joy - The Ren & Stimpy Story' Documentary to Receive World Premiere at 2020 Sundance Film Festival

The Sundance Institute has announced that the 2020 Sundance Film Festival will host the world premiere of Happy Happy Joy Joy - The Ren & Stimpy Story, a brand new documentary exploring the rise and fall of the groundbreaking animated series The Ren & Stimpy Show and its controversial creator, John Kricfalusi - whose abusive relationship with an underage woman destroyed his once-celebrated career - through archival footage, show artwork and interviews with the artists, actors and executives behind the show.

Update (1/18/2020) - Deadline has released a sneak peek from the documentary, which you can watch on Deadline.com.


“It’s wild and disturbing,” said Sundance director John Cooper. “It’s not trying to make the show separate from the creator. That’s what we hoped to see in it.”


From production industry veterans Ron Cicero and Kimo Easterwood, Happy Happy Joy Joy - The Ren & Stimpy Story is a crowdfunded documentary that has been in development for a couple of years, before Ralph Bakshi acolyte Kricfalusi's highly inappropriate behavior came to light. When the docu was first pitched, it was set to "delve deep into the world of Ren the rage-fueled chihuahua and Stimpy the simpleton cat. The filmmakers’ goal is to show that the creativity that fueled the animated series is akin to the intrepid genius and controversial merit of Banksy and Warhol."

Happy Happy Joy Joy - The Ren & Stimpy Story is produced by Ron Cicero, and features the cast of: John Kricfalusi, Robyn Byrd, Vanessa Coffey, Chris Reccardi, Richard Pursel, and Bobby Lee.

Ren & Stimpy premiered on August 11, 1991 as one of the original Nicktoons, alongside Rugrats and Doug, and followed the chaotic adventures of a psychotic Chihuahua (Marland “Ren” T. Höek) and dimwitted Cat (Stimpson “Stimpy” J. Cat). The series ran on Nickelodeon for 5 seasons and spawned the spin-off Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon in 2003.


The 2020 Sundance Film Festival takes place between Jan 23 - Feb 2, 2020 in Park City, Utah. For more information, visit: https://www.sundance.org.

Happy Happy Joy Joy - The Ren & Stimpy Story

In the early 1990s, the animated show Ren & Stimpy broke cable ratings records and was a touchstone for a generation of fans and artists. Creator John Kricfalusi was celebrated as a visionary, but even though his personality suffused the show, dozens of artists and network executives were just as responsible for the show’s meteoric rise. As Kricfalusi’s worst impulses were let loose at the workplace and new allegations about even more disturbing behavior have surfaced, his reputation now threatens to taint the show forever.

With clips recognizable to any Ren & Stimpy fan and interviews with Kricfalusi and his fellow creators whose work has been both elevated and denigrated by their connection to him, this film is a complex look at a show that influenced the history of television, animation, and comedy. More than a celebration, Happy Happy Joy Joy - The Ren & Stimpy Story forces us to consider the role of media creators and how we reckon with the reality of who they are versus what we see on the screen.

‘Happy Happy Joy Joy’ Clip: First Look At ‘Ren & Stimpy’ Documentary Headed To Sundance


EXCLUSIVE: How to describe The Ren & Stimpy Show, that bizarre, you-had-to-be-there ’90s animated series that carved a niche for itself on the kid-friendly Nickelodeon channel without being all that kid-friendly itself? (Well, depending on what kind of kid you were…)

In this exclusive clip from the upcoming Sundance Film Festival documentary Happy Happy Joy Joy, comics (including Bobby Lee) and fans try to describe the outrageous, grotesque and very funny series in one sentence. One or two come close.

Premiering at this month’s Sundance as part of the Documentary Premieres section, Happy Happy Joy Joy (a catchphrase from the series) is co-directed by Ron Cicero and Kimo Easterwood, who set themselves the task of illuminating “the joy, beauty, and lasting impact of Ren & Stimpy” while also examining the cartoon’s creator John Kricfalusi, a man described as a brilliant animator and storyteller as well as a deeply flawed person. Press materials for the documentary say Kricfalusi “both caused and experienced trauma that deeply affected his work and relationships.”

Through archival footage, show artwork, and interviews with the artists, actors, and executives behind the show, Happy Happy Joy Joy explores what happens when “artistic genius goes awry.”

Written and directed by Cicero and Easterwood, Happy Happy Joy Joy is exec produced by Cicero, with Easterwood as director of photography. Kevin Klauber produces.

The doc will have its press and industry screening January 24 at the Park Avenue Theatre before its world premiere Tuesday, January 28 at the Library Center Theatre.

Check out the exclusive clip [on Deadline.com].

From io9:

Happy Happy, Joy Joy - The Ren and Stimpy Story

Despite what the title suggests, this documentary about the cult Nickelodeon show isn’t all positive. It goes through the history of the show but will focus heavily on recent accusations of underage sexual abuse by its creator John Kricfalusi.
