Avatar: The Last Airbender crafted some of the best characters to ever appear on Nickelodeon, but the top award went to Iron. As an uncle and mentor to Prince Zuko, the elderly man spouted wisdom as often as he did jokes. His love for tea was only matched by his desire to see the world at peace, and much of his character came to life thanks to Mako Iwamatsu. The actor oversaw Iroh for a number of years, and the star's successor has revealed why he will never perform a song written to honor Iwamatsu.


Taking to Twitter, fans were given the lowdown when Greg Baldwin answered a fan-question about the song "Leaves From The Vine". The song was sung in one of the show's most memorable episodes. Iroh performed the song at the grave of his late son Lu Ten to celebrate the latter's birthday. To this day, "Leaves From The Vine" remains a favorite amongst fans, but Baldwin isn't interested in performing the song for fans.

I’m often asked to sing “Leaves From The Vine” at Comicons. Out of deep respect for Mako Iwamatsu...it’s one fan request I always decline.

It’s Mako’s song...not mine.

— Greg Baldwin (@GregBaldwinIroh) March 1, 2020

For those who do not know, the song was included in Avatar: The Last Airbender as a memorial to Iwamatsu as well. The actor passed away in 2006 after doing the voice of General Iroh in the show's first two seasons. Before production on season three began, Iwamatsu passed away after fighting esophageal cancer for some time. He did manage to record this song before his death, and it has become one of the most defining parts of his legacy.

It is not surprising Baldwin declines the request to sing the song. Not only is it a difficult one to get through but it is deeply personal to Iwamatsu's death. No one can do the song just like the actor did, and fans are content listening to the song's original version for as long as they can.

Do you agree with the actor's stance here? Let me know in the comments below!

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated multiplayer details have emerged from PAX East 2020!


The game is playable at PAX East 2020, though it’s the same demo carried over from Gamescom 2019. However, a separate press-only version has been spotted, which has the horde mode playable for the first time.

There’s no footage of the press build currently, but YouTuber RidersDX has revealed some details based on what he saw – including new playable characters in multiplayer.

The key discoveries from the PAX demo include SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated's multiplayer horde mode where two players team up against wave after wave of increasingly challenging enemies, and three new characters. In the new multiplayer mode, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and Squidward will join SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy on the roster, for a total ensemble of six.

Horde Mode also makes good on THQ Nordic’s promise to restore cut content from the original game. Once you’ve scrapped a few rounds of robots, you and your buddy face off against Robot Squidward, a boss who was originally planned for the PS2 version of Battle for Bikini Bottom, but for whatever reason was removed from the game’s final build. There’s no word yet on whether or not this new boss is exclusive to multiplayer mode, or if he has also been worked into the single-player experience.

SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated still doesn’t have a confirmed release date, though Nintendo may have mistakenly let it slip last month. Officially, though, the game and its collector’s edition are targeting a summer release, and many fans cannot wait for a chance to relive this childhood favorite.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated will be released on PS4, PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

Here’s the full roundup of tidbits:

– Mr. Krabs, Squidward, Plankton are playable
– Another slot, but this could just be someone picked at random
– Robot Squidward in one of the levels
– Get waves of robots thrown at you in rounds
– You and a second player work together to attack those robots
– Platforms come out, which you maneuver across them to get to the next section or get more robots
– Robots and attacks from Robot Squidward in this level
– Level is over a giant pool of water
– A lot of robots take two hit points to be destroyed
– When you hit them once, they turn red

You can listen to RidersDX’s full report below:





The remastered version of SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom is the first game from THQ Nordic's partnership with Nickelodeon, which will see the video game publisher re-release fan-favorite video games inspired by beloved Nickelodeon properties such as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Back at the Barnyard, Catscratch, Danny Phantom, El Tigre, Invader Zim, Jimmy Neutron, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Rocket Power, Rocko’s Modern Life, Rugrats, SpongeBob SquarePants, Tak and the Power of JuJu, The Fairly OddParents (US only), The Ren & Stimpy Show, and The Wild Thornberrys.

Nickelodeon Latin America (Latinoamérica) today, Monday 2nd March 2020, premiered Nickelodeon Brazil's (Brasil) popular CG-animated series Tainá and the Amazon's Guardians (Tainá e os Guardiões da Amazônia)!


Co-produced by Nickelodeon and Sincrocine Produções, with investments from BNDES (Procult) and Artigo 39 da Ancine, Tainá e os Guardiões da Amazônia (26 episodes) is an animated 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 co-production reimagines 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.

Tainá e os Guardiões da Amazônia (Tainá and the Amazon's Guardians) was recently nominated in the "Prémio Quirino à Melhor Série de Animação Ibero-americana" ("Quirino Award for the Best Ibero-American Animation Series") category of the 2020 edition of the Prémios Quirino de Animação Ibero-Americana Awards (Ibero-American Animation Quirino Awards).

Nick Jr. Live! "Move to the Music" marks the first of several productions to debut as part of an exclusive live theatrical touring partnership between Nickelodeon and VStar Entertainment Group. The partnership includes collaboration on several Nickelodeon intellectual properties to deliver new theatrical touring productions over the course of the exclusive 5-year deal. The relationship between the family entertainment brands kicked off in 2016 with the co-production of PAW Patrol Live! "Race to the Rescue," the first-ever live stage show based on Nickelodeon's top-rated preschool series, PAW Patrol (produced by Spin Master Entertainment). Since that time, the two have added PAW Patrol Live! "The Great Pirate Adventure" and Bubble Guppies Live! "Ready to Rock" to the growing list of production collaborations. In the short time since the debut of the original show, an impressive 3 million PAW Patrol Live! tickets have been sold worldwide.


"Nickelodeon's partnership with VStar Entertainment has been an incredibly successful one, and has become an integral component as we continue to expand our burgeoning global location based business," said Sharon Cohen, Executive Vice President, Nickelodeon Experience. "With the latest addition to the lineup, we've mined Nickelodeon's library of preschool hit shows to create Nick Jr. Live! "Move to the Music," an engaging and vibrant musical showcase, featuring some of our most beloved characters."

"As VStar continues to evolve into a leading producer of live family entertainment, having Nickelodeon, the leading children's entertainment brand, entrust additional top-rated intellectual property to VStar speaks to the confidence and trust we've established," said Eric Grilly, CEO, VStar Entertainment Group. "We are thrilled to have Nickelodeon as our partner and look forward to the opportunity to continue entertaining audiences with even more beloved Nickelodeon characters."

Nick Jr. Live! "Move to the Music" follows Dora and her PAW co-hosts, Marshall and Rubble, as they invite their Nick Jr. friends to come together for a one-of-a-kind music-filled production. Bubble Guppies' Molly and Gil, Rod and Penny from Top Wing, Shimmer and Shine, and even Blue from the new Blue's Clues &You! are throwing a Nick Jr. celebration. The show will transport audiences to familiar Nick Jr. locations, including Bubbletucky and Zahramay Falls, and includes two acts, along with an intermission. The unforgettable musical adventure will feature live appearances, special on-screen guests and audience participation to engage the whole family.

With innovative costuming and a Broadway-style set, Nick Jr. Live! is a perfect way to introduce theater to young children. The show is split into two acts with an intermission and will include original music as well as familiar tunes from Nick Jr. shows. A limited number of V.I.P. packages are available for each performance and feature premium show seating, VIP merchandise item, an exclusive photo opportunity with Blaze from Blaze and the Monster Machines, as well as a post-show Meet & Greet party with Dora the Explorer and Rubble from PAW Patrol.

Also, from VenuesNow:

VStar CEO Eric Grilly said that the deal started to come to fruition about a year ago and that the deal was signed last fall. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Sharon Cohen, executive vice president of the Nickelodeon Experience, said the producing partnership between the two companies for specific projects has morphed into a strategic partnership “because it felt like it was time to solidify the partnership and have in place the blueprint to launch more shows.”

Her division, which aggregates all of Nickelodeon’s intellectual property, was created two years ago and has a 30-member staff. Other Nickelodeon shows include “Double Dare Live” and the SpongeBob SquarePants musical.

Creating “Move to the Music” “was a very collaborative process,” Grilly said. “We looked at how their IP was performing on social media platforms, linear platforms, consumer-product platforms, B2B platforms, and we assessed the cultural relevance and made decisions based on those and other factors.”

Cohen expects the target audience for “Move to the Music” to be preschoolers and their parents. She also expects the road going forward will be a “true collaboration between the two companies. VStar is a fabulous partner and we recognize VStar’s knowledge in creating live theatricals.”

Grilly expects the tour to have cast of 10-12, which is in line with the existing PAW Patrol shows and will need three trucks. Music will be a combination of original music and music from the various Nickelodeon series that the characters populate. The music will be tracked.

The strength of Nickelodeon’s global business is the primary reason VStar was keen on upping the partnership; Nickelodeon’s rich, deep archive of content was another; and the success of their working relationship led VStar to want to strengthen it as well.

VStar was acquired by Cirque du Soleil in 2018. Non-Nickelodeon tours include Cirque Dreams and Discover the Dinosaurs: Time Trek. Previous VStar (formerly VEE Corp.) was the home of the Sesame Street Live and Barney franchises.

“VStar being bought by Cirque makes them that much more of a compelling partner for us,” Cohen said. “They’ve added additional capabilities.”

Cohen anticipates “many more productions over the five years of the umbrella deal.”

Tour dates and the venues that “Move to the Music” will play are still being determined.

From TribLIVE.com:

‘Nick Jr. Live!’ introduces children to the world of theater


With a name like “Nick Jr. Live!” and a cast of characters including Dora the Explorer, PAW Patrol and Bubble Guppies, it’s obviously a show for kids — but that doesn’t mean parents won’t enjoy it. They might even reap some hidden benefits in the eyes of their offspring.

Though the show is geared toward an audience of children ages 1-6, it still has plenty to offer parents, grandparents and even older siblings, says Stephanie Hammond, the production stage manager and show support manager for VStar Productions.

With opportunities for singing, dancing and “being silly with your kids,” she says, “It’s an important thing for relationships and education.”

The national touring show, produced by Nickelodeon and Minneapolis-based VStar, will visit Pittsburgh’s Benedum Center for five performances Jan. 17-19.


“It’s important that kids know just because you’re grown up, you’re not old and boring. Mom and dad are still really fun and really cool,” Hammond says.

Familiar faces

“Nick Jr. Live!” incorporates a host of familiar faces from “Nick Jr.” children’s television programming.

The show’s premise has the cast staging a production for the audience, with Dora and PAW Patrollers Marshall and Rubble as hosts.

After the first number, Dora tasks Rubble with writing “a really great finale,” Hammond says.

Along the way, Marshall accidentally shuts off the power to the stage and Shimmer and Shine, with encouragement from the audience, have to find the Dazzle Starlight Gem to turn the lights back on.

Other characters cause more complications as Rubble works on his finale, inviting the audience to practice it with him at every step of the way and at show’s end.

The audience also will have a chance to do the “Pup Pup Boogie” with Blue, the inquisitive canine from “Blue’s Clues.”

“All the kids know this song. They do it on the show all the time,” Hammond says. “There’s lots of audience participation in every part of this. You can get out of your seat and dance with us. Kids have no filter — there’s always a little mosh pit in front of the stage.

“Don’t come and expect it to be quiet,” she says. “It’s loud and raucous. The kids jump around and have a really good time and get crazy excited.”

Beyond the chance to work out some of that boundless childhood energy, “Nick Jr. Live!” also can serve a more serious purpose, Hammond says.

“We get lots of feedback from parents and, for a large number of children, this was their first experience with a live stage show,” she says. “It’s a wonderful way to introduce children to theater. It’s kind of like Broadway for kids.”

A fan of the show, Maddie DeStefanis, would like to know if you got a bubble puppy in real life, what would you name and why?

Hi Maddie! Awesome question! If I had a Bubble Puppy of my own, the name I would settle on would be Bubbles because of how cute it sounds!

Do you have a favorite line in the show every night?

My favorite line from the show is "If you've got a song to sing, you should sing it. If it comes from you, we're all going to love it." It warms my heart every time.

Can you share a special moment that has happened during the show for you?

It was actually while I was still in the rehearsal process and I got the opportunity to watch the previous cast perform the show in Toronto. I was sitting towards the back where everyone would enter. A family entered after the show had started and behind me I heard an eruption of absolute cuteness and joy! A kid just couldn't contain his excitement and it was absolutely adorable!

Describe the show in five words.

Adventure! Pawsome! Finntastic! Party! Friendship!

What is it like for you as a Detroit native performer to come back and perform on the Fox Theatre stage?

Feels like home. It's not my first time performing on the Fox stage so I can't wait to bring Nick Jr. Live! to my world!

Why should Detroit audience bring their children to see this special show?

To create life long memories and to have fun! It's one thing watching your favorite characters on your iPads or TV, it's another thing to join the fun and see your favorite Nick Jr. friends live on stage!

TeenNick Israel has unveiled a super first look at Nickelodeon International brand new live-action series Spyders!


ספיידרז: סדרת ריגול חדשה | בקרוב בערוץ טין ניק
ספיידרז | סדרת ריגול חדשה | בקרוב מאוד בערוץ טין ניק
Spyders (stylised as SpiderZ; originally titled The Covurts) 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

Spyders is the first original co-production between Nickelodeon International and Israeli Nutz Productions—the subsidiary production arm of Ananey Communications Group—together with Israeli cable network HOT.

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. The series is set to debut on TeenNick Israel (יִשְׂרָאֵל) shortly.

Spyders is created by Michal Cooper Keren, Tom Riles, David Guest and Patrick Quinn. The head writer is Israeli screenwriter Michal Cooper Keren, the creator of Nickelodeon Israel's Spell Keepers. The series is an original co-production between Nickelodeon International, Nutz Productions and Ananey Communications Group.

Michal Cooper Keren, who created Nickelodeon Israel's Spell Keepers, is also the series' head writer. The series is an original co-production between Nickelodeon International, Nutz Productions and Ananey Communications Group.

The series commenced filming in Israel last summer and wrapped in December 2020.

“After a long history of collaboration with Ananey, we are so excited to kick off our first co-production together with our partners in Israel,” said Nina Hahn, the Senior Vice President (SVP) of International Production and Development for Nickelodeon, when the show was first announced at global TV and digital content market MIPTV in April 2018. “We can’t wait for young fans around the world to meet The Spyders!”

Orly Atlas-Katz, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) OF Ananey Communications said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Nickelodeon International. I am certain that with their vast experience in content for kids, HOT's programming expertise and our high-end productions abilities, this show will be something to look forward to."

Ananey is an Israeli content producer and pay-TV provider that serves as the Israeli licensor of several of Viacom’s biggest brands, including Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and MTV, and produces both local and international original content.

Under the partnership, Nickelodeon has become Israel's No. 1 children's channel and, alongside Nick Jr., reaches 49 percent of the youth audience, due in large part to Ananey’s original local productions for kids and teens.

The greenlight of The Spyders comes on the heels of Viacom purchasing a minority stake in Ananey Communications Group in 2017.

Nutz entered a co-pro deal with Bunim/Murray Productions’ (Nickelodeon's The Crystal Maze) new BMP Kids division on the youth prank show Gotcha, which bowed on Nick Israel last December. Other popular Nutz series currently airing on Nick Israel include Spell Keepers, Bed & Biscuit and The Hood, which just entered its third season.

The company also develops content in close cooperation with foreign production entities, honing its expertise in international productions. Recently, Nutz Productions was commissioned by Netflix to produce its remake production of Greenhouse Academy– an original live-action daily-drama series which was first broadcast for 4 seasons on Nickelodeon Israel and locally produced by Nutz as well.

When the Shut'em Up Shortcake silences Kelly's pesky little brother and the Healing Hazelnut Tart heals Darbie's ankle, the girls discover they have the power of magic.


In the lively town of Saffron Falls, teenage girls Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah are best friends who love cooking. While making a cake for Kelly's grandma's (who has a mysterious illness and cannot talk) birthday, the girls use a magical recipe using an ancient cookbook that they found in the attic. The recipes they find inside have strange names like "Shut'em Up Shortcake" and "Hazelnut Healing Tart" and require unusual ingredients, such as "Cedronian vanilla" and "Taurian thyme". The girls go to Mama P.’s shop to get the ingredients for the “Shut ‘em Up Shortcake” and when no one has any idea what they need, Mama P. reveals that she knows what the ingredients are, and she gives them the Cedronian Vanilla. They bake the cake, but when Kelly's brother Buddy and Hannah eat a bite of the shortcake and find themselves unable to talk, the three friends realise they are dealing with magic spells. At the same time as Hannah and Buddy's silence, Darbie cannot stop talking. Because of this, they also realise the spells come with a consequence.


Throughout season one, Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah investigate the magical recipes and face the temptations of using magic to help overcome the everyday challenges of being middle school girls. They conclude that Mama P. knows about the magic because she appears to have extensive knowledge of magical ingredients. Furthermore, they discover that the creepy neighbour Ms. Silvers also has a connection to magic after she warns them to stay away from it, telling them that it is dangerous. The girls realise that they are the protectors of the magical cookbook and that there were many others before them, three of whom were Mama P., Ms. Silvers and Kelly's grandma Becky. Among all this, Kelly has one overriding goal: to find the magical recipe that will fix her grandmother's mysterious illness, even if it means crossing creepy Mama P. or scary Ms. Silvers. As the girls work together they find out that Kelly's grandma Becky is under a curse, and so are Mama P. (whose curse does not let her leave Saffron Falls) and Ms. Silvers (whose curse does not let her play the piano in public). The girls, while trying to free Grandma Quinn of her curse, uncover various mysteries of the past.

Amazon Studios renewed the series for a second season in June 2016 after it "set a record as the most successful Amazon Original Kids premiere weekend in terms of U.S. Prime Video streams and hours."

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.--Feb. 19, 2020--Kid rapper and pint-sized powerhouse Young Dylan will join the Nickelodeon family with the premiere of the brand-new live-action series, Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan, on Saturday, Feb. 29, at 8:30 (ET/PT). Executive produced, directed and written by Perry, the series follows a family whose world is turned upside down when their nephew, Young Dylan (Dylan Gilmer), an aspiring hip-hop star, moves in unannounced. Michelle Sneed is also an executive producer, with Will Areu and Mark E. Swinton serving as producers. The series is currently in production at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Ga.

In Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan, Dylan’s grandmother Viola (Aloma Wright) realizes that raising her grandson is too much to take on, so she decides to send him to live indefinitely with her affluent son Myles Wilson (Carl Anthony Payne II), his wife Yasmine (Mieko Hillman) and their two kids Rebecca (Celina Smith) and Charlie (Hero Hunter). Suddenly, the Wilson family household needs to adapt as lifestyles clash between rising hip-hop star Young Dylan and his straight-laced cousins. From Dylan giving Charlie, Rebecca, and her best friend Bethany (Jet Miller), lessons in “swag” and street smarts, to learning that even rappers have rules in the Wilson house, the series follows the hilarious hijinks this family faces as they try to get on the same beat.


Nickelodeon’s partnership with Perry is part of his long-term pact with ViacomCBS, producing original series for BET Networks (The Oval and Sistas) and other ViacomCBS networks, with exclusive licensing rights on this programming. Additionally, Perry recently announced his joint venture with BET Networks for the new streaming video on demand service BET+. Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan marks Perry’s first kids’ scripted series.

Born and raised in Annapolis, Md., Gilmer is known for his many appearances and performances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and at NBA All-Star Weekend. He will next appear at Nickelodeon SlimeFest, a two-day family-friendly music festival on Saturday, March 21, and Sunday, March 22, at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Gilmer has an overall talent deal with Telepictures, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Television, and has previously guest starred on the revival of Nickelodeon’s hit series All That.

Gilmer is represented by Sherry Kayne of The Green Room and Chris Abramson at Felker Toczek Suddleson Abramson.

The production of Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan for Nickelodeon is overseen by Shauna Phelan, Senior Vice President, Live-Action Scripted Content. Brian Banks serves as Nickelodeon’s Executive in Charge of Production for the series.

Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan underscores a key element of Nickelodeon's content strategy, to mine social platforms for the talent that kids love. Nick's new content slate is informed by the network's ongoing research and insights into today's generation of kids, who: are the most diverse generation ever and expect to see themselves authentically represented in media and in the world around them; want to make a positive difference in the world as they grow up; consider social media stars as their top role models, alongside their parents; and increasingly meet their much-desired need for family time by co-viewing entertainment content together.

From http://tylerperry.com:

Tyler Perry’s “Young Dylan” gets premiere date on Nickelodeon

It’s been a number of months since Tyler Perry dropped the best news 5th-grade rapper Young Dylan (Dylan Gilmer) had ever heard. Perry stopped by Dylan’s appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to let him know that the little charmer would be the star of his very own show on Nickelodeon and that Perry would write, direct and executive produce. Not bad for the ripe old age of 10!

Young Dylan is the story of a family whose world is turned upside down when their nephew, an aspiring hip-hop star, moves in unannounced.

Deadline described the series. “When Dylan’s grandmother Viola (Aloma Wright) realizes raising her grandson is too much to take on, she decides to send him to live indefinitely with her affluent son Myles Wilson (Carl Anthony Payne), his wife Yasmine (Mieko Hillman) and their two kids Rebecca (Celina Smith) and Charlie (Hero Hunter).”

The show will premiere on Saturday, February 29th at 8:30 PM Eastern, the first of 14 episodes. Young Dylan will be Perry’s first scripted series for kids and is part of the ViacomCBS deal penned in 2018 that has brought multiple series to BET Networks like The Oval and Sistas. It also led to a partnership with BET Networks in their streaming service BET Plus, soon to launch the series Ruthless and Bruh

[HD] ‘Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan’ 👑 Official Trailer #4




From The Philadelphia Tribune:

Tyler Perry's latest brings rapper Young Dylan to Nickelodeon

The media empire of two-time NAACP Image Award winner Tyler Perry, creator of such fan favorites as “Madea’s Family Reunion,” “Meet the Browns,” “House of Payne,” and “The Haves and the Have Nots,” continues to expand.

Now owner of the vast Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, he turns his attention to the youth market, bringing “Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan,” to Nickelodeon’s Saturday night lineup.

The live-action series starring Dylan Gilmer follows a family whose world is “turned upside down” when their nephew, Young Dylan, an aspiring hip-hop star, moves in unannounced. Currently in production at Tyler Perry Studios, the series, which debuted Feb. 29, is executive produced, directed and written by Perry.

“I’m excited!” Gilmer told The Philadelphia Tribune just before the show’s premiere. “I’m excited for our audience to see a funny family show with loving and supportive family members, great energy and positive vibes.”

While the Annapolis, Maryland native who will celebrate his 11th birthday on March 4, is taking full advantage of this amazing opportunity, he admits to being taken by surprise.

“The president of Nickelodeon, Brian Robbins, noticed me on an episode of the Ellen DeGeneres show,” Gilmer explained. “Brian Robbins then showed Tyler Perry a video of me from the Ellen DeGeneres show, and after that, Mr. Perry wrote a television series about a kid rapper, Young Dylan. I was invited to the Ellen DeGeneres show in October, where Mr. Perry and Ellen surprised me with my own television series, ‘Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan.’ I am blessed to have my own television series. Before ‘Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan,’ the only acting I’ve done was a guest appearance on Nickelodeon’s ‘All That.’”

As the series opens, Dylan’s grandmother, Viola (Aloma Wright), realizes that raising her grandson is too much to take on, so she decides to send him to live indefinitely with her affluent son Myles Wilson (Carl Anthony Payne II), his wife Yasmine (Mieko Hillman), and their two children Rebecca (Celina Smith) and Charlie (Hero Hunter). Suddenly, the Wilson household must adapt as lifestyles clash between rising hip-hop star, Young Dylan, and his conservative cousins. From Dylan giving Charlie, Rebecca, and her best friend Bethany (Jet Miller) lessons in “swag” and street smarts, to learning that even rappers have rules in the Wilson house, the series follows the “hilarious hijinks” this family faces as they seek harmony in the household.

A polite and respectful young artist, Dylan Gilmer is particularly appreciative of the chance to work with Perry, who was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2019.

“I’ve worked directly with Mr. Tyler. He’s a great writer, producer and director. He offers suggestions and ideas on how to deliver my lines. It’s been a great learning experience!” Dylan said.

Now in the early stages of a promising career, Young Dylan invites viewers to join in the fun.

“’Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan’s’” cast and Tyler Perry Studio’s crew is great. Filming ‘Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan’ and working with a legendary writer and producer and legendary directors and actors is a great experience. It’s a fun, family-like environment.”

“Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan” airs Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. on Nickelodeon.

Milan, 22 May 2019 - PAW Patrol’s next exciting mission is imminent – and about to begin at Movie Park Germany! The popular TV rescue pup team from the hit animated Nickelodeon TV series produced by Spin Master Entertainment has now found a new, adventurous home: the family-friendly world of "Adventure Bay" opens today, based on the setting of the hit kids’ series, bringing the world of the popular pups to life. The new family attraction features a children's playground and the iconic Command Center - now open to the public in Europe's largest Nickland. Visitors and fans of the series can now immerse themselves in the world of the well-known heroes on four paws.

"Now the time has finally come and all families with children can explore the world of PAW Patrol together," says Managing Director Thorsten Backhaus. "Numerous experts and employees were involved in the realization of the project so that 'Adventure Bay' could be reproduced as exact as possible. True to the series motto 'No job is too big, no pup is too small', construction work on the new PAW Patrol themed world has been in full swing since winter. We are very satisfied with the final results and look forward to presenting the new area to our visitors".

Over 315 liters of paint, 11,590kg of construction steel, 86,000kg of sand and 294m³ of concrete were added to the new 1,800m² themed area in Europe's largest Nickland to give visitors a special experience. Design elements and the storyline were developed by the Movie Park Germany project team under Wiebe Damstra, working in close cooperation with Nickelodeon Experience Design in Orlando and the Dutch design experts from the Leisure Expert Group. The Spanish company Rocas & Design, previously commissioned on “Lost Temple”, was responsible for designing and implementing the various thematic aspects of the new area.

A howling good time for the whole family!
Get in and buckle up for a fast-paced ride with the hero pups in the new “PAW Patrol Adventure Tour”! In this new family attraction, children and their parents can sit right inside one of the pups’ six well-known rescue vehicles, including Marshall’s fire engine and Rubble’s bulldozer. A brand new PAW Patrol beach playground ushers fans into the world of chocolate labrador retriever Zuma and cheeky bulldog Rubble. „Zuma’s Zoomers”, a wild hovercraft ride along the beach of “Adventure Bay”, will provide plenty of fun for young visitors as well.

Live experiences and personal souvenirs for young visitors
Children and families can take advantage of numerous photo points, meet-and-greet opportunities to experience their animal heroes up close, and enjoy the focal point of ‘Adventure Bay,’ the iconic PAW Patrol Command Center, a 15-meter tower modelled precisely on the tower from the series.

Below is the Deutsche version of the above press release:


22/05/2019

Bottrop-Kirchhellen, 22. Mai 2019 – Die nächste spannende Mission der PAW Patrol kann kommen – und zwar im Movie Park Germany! Denn hier hat die beliebte TV-Welpenwache aus der erfolgreichen Animationsserie von Nickelodeon und Spin Master Entertainment nun ein neues, abenteuerliches Zuhause gefunden. Mit der heutigen Eröffnung des Familien-Themenbereichs „Adventure Bay“, der auf dem gleichnamigen Ort der Kinderserie basiert, ist die Welt rund um die beliebten Hundehelden zum Leben erwacht. Eine neue Familienattraktion, ein Kinderspielplatz und die ikonische Kommandozentrale – all dies steht ab sofort in Europas größtem Nickland für die Besucher und Fans der Serie bereit und nimmt sie mit in die Welt der bekannten Helfer auf vier Pfoten. Um die neue Area selbst zu erkunden, schaute auch TV-Schauspieler Jörn Schlönvoigt (bekannt aus GZSZ) mit seiner Familie vorbei und ging bei der offiziellen Eröffnung gemeinsam mit seiner Frau und Tochter auf Entdeckungstour in „Adventure Bay“.

„Jetzt ist es endlich soweit und alle Familien mit Kindern können die Welt von PAW Patrol selbst bei uns vor Ort erkunden“, freut sich Geschäftsführer Thorsten Backhaus. „Zahlreiche Experten und Mitarbeiter waren an der Realisierung des Projekts beteiligt, damit ‚Adventure Bay‘ so seriengetreu wie möglich nachgebaut wird. Ganz nach dem Serienmotto ‚Kein Einsatz zu groß, keine Pfote zu klein’ liefen die Bauarbeiten zur neuen PAW Patrol-Themenwelt seit Winter auf Hochtouren. Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit dem Endergebnis und freuen uns, allen Besuchern den neuen Themenbereich zu präsentieren.“

„Unser Ziel ist es, die Welt zu einem verspielteren Ort zu machen, sowohl auf als auch abseits vom Bildschirm“, so Gerald Raines, Senior Vice President, Global Location Based Experiences, Nickelodeon/Viacom International Media Networks. „Wir freuen uns sehr, eine der beliebtesten Serien von Nickelodeon in den Movie Park Germany zu bringen und Familien zu zeigen, was ‚Adventure Bay‘ alles zu bieten hat.“

In „Adventure Bay“ geht es für Groß und Klein auf eine spannende Entdeckungstour: Neben neuen Attraktionen für Eltern und Kinder zeichnen vor allem viele gestalterische und interaktive Elemente die neue Area aus. „Über 315 Liter Farbe, 11.590 Kg Baustahl, 86.000 Kg Sand und 294 m³ Beton wurden für den neuen 1.800 m² großen Themenbereich in Europas größtem Nickland aufgebracht, um den Besuchern ein besonderes Erlebnis zu bereiten“, fasst Thorsten Backhaus zusammen. Design und Storyline der neuen Themenwelt wurden vom Movie Park Germany-Projektteam unter Wiebe Damstra in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Nickelodeon Experience Design in Orlando und den niederländischen Design Experten der Leisure Expert Group entwickelt. Für die Ausführung und Umsetzung der Thematisierung zeichnet sich die spanische Firma Rocas & Design verantwortlich, die bereits für die Attraktion „Lost Temple“ beauftragt wurde.

HUNDertprozentig für die ganze Familie geeignet

Anschnallen und festhalten: Auf der neuen „PAW Patrol Adventure Tour“ erlebt die ganze Familie eine rasante Off-Road-Fahrt mit ihren Helden auf vier Pfoten. Eltern und Kinder können direkt auf den sechs bekannten Einsatzfahrzeugen Platz nehmen, unter anderem auf Marshalls Feuerwehr-Truck oder Rubbles Bulldozer. Ein neuer PAW Patrol-Kinderspielplatz im Beachstyle entführt die Fans in die Welt des Labradors Zuma und der Bulldogge Rubble. Tierisch viel Spaß für die jungen Besucher verspricht auch „Zuma’s Zoomers“, eine Luftkissen-Bootsfahrt am Strand von „Adventure Bay“.

Live-Erlebnisse und persönliche Erinnerungen für die jungen Besucher

Um ihren Hundehelden live zu begegnen, können Familien mit Kindern auf zahlreiche Fotopoints sowie Meet-and-Greet-Möglichkeiten zurückgreifen. Als neues Wahrzeichen der Area erwartet die Gäste die geheime Kommandozentrale der Welpenwache. Im Fuße des 15 Meter hohen Turms ist ein Fotopoint und eine Meet-and-Greet-Area untergebracht. In der originalgetreu nachgebauten Kommandozentrale können alle Fans PAW Patrol aus nächster Nähe erleben und persönliche Erinnerungsfotos schießen.

Zudem präsentiert Deutschlands größter Film- und Freizeitpark in der neuen Themenwelt sechs reale Fotopoints mit den Helden von PAW Patrol. So können sich Fans der Serie direkt mit ihren Lieblingscharakteren ablichten lassen. Sie können hierbei auch in diversen Einsatzfahrzeugen Platz nehmen – unter anderem auf Rockys Transporter oder Chases Polizeiwagen.

Kleine und große Besucher können zudem auf die neuen Familienangebote des Movie Park Germany zurückgreifen. Unter anderem können spezielle PAW Patrol-Kindergeburtstage gebucht werden. Auch PAW Patrol-Familientickets sind erhältlich, um die Serie und ihre Charaktere hautnah zu erleben. Alle Infos gibt es unter www.adventure-bay.de



From WAZ:

Movie Park öffnet im Frühjahr mit neuen Attraktionen

BOTTROP_KIRCHHELLEN. Mehr PAW Patrol-Aktionen, Lucky Luke-Ride und erstmals ein Laser-Walkthrough erweitern ab 27. März das Themenspektrum des Freizeitparks.

Das Drehbuch für die kommende Saison im Movie Park steht: Auf drei neue Attraktionen und Abenteuer mit ihren Film- und TV-Helden können sich die Besucherinnen und Besucher freuen. Am 27. März öffnet Hollywood in Germany wieder seine Tore. Bereits im Frühjahr können Eltern und Kinder mit der PAW Patrol-Attraktion „Skye’s High Flyer“ ihre Runden über „Adventure Bay“ drehen. Im Laufe des Jahres folgt dann mit „Lucky Luke – The Ride: Die Daltons brechen aus“ ein neues Thema der Hänge-Loopingachterbahn „MPXpress“. Erstmals zieht auch ein interaktiver Laser-Walkthrough unter die Tribüne des Studio 7 ein.

Hundehelden gehören zu den Movie-Stars

Neue Abenteuer liegen in der Luft mit den Hundehelden der beliebten Nickelodeon TV-Serie „PAW Patrol“. Denn mit „Skye’s High Flyer“ geht es für Eltern und Kinder auf spannende Flugmission in Adventure Bay. „Die Resonanz auf den PAW Patrol-Themenbereich war sehr positiv. Wegen der anhaltenden Nachfrage haben wir uns entschieden, den Bereich bereits jetzt zu vergrößern“, sagt Geschäftsführer Thorsten Backhaus. Wer bereit zum Abflug ist, kann bei „Skye’s High Flyer“ Runden drehen und wie die bekannten Hundehelden Abenteuerluft schnuppern. Um den kleinen und großen Fans einen schnelleren Zugang zu PAW Patrol zu ermöglichen, wird es einen neuen Speedy Pass geben. Der spezielle Nickpass ist für Besucher bis 14 Jahre vorgesehen und wird diese drei Stationen sowie weitere Attraktionen im Nickland umfassen.

Auch der Western-Themenbereich bekommt Verstärkung. Denn der Mann, der schneller zieht als sein Schatten, schlägt in Feldhausen sein neues Zuhause auf. „Mit ‚Lucky Luke – The Ride: Die Daltons brechen aus‘ haben wir eine starke Familienlizenz gewonnen und werden den ‚MPXpress‘ mit neuer Storyline rund um die berühmte Comic- und Filmfigur Lucky Luke neugestalten“, sagt Marketingleiter Manuel Prossotowicz. „Damit können wir nicht nur unseren Western-Themenbereich endlich zusammenführen, sondern auch um eine beliebte Figur ergänzen, die über alle Generationen hinaus bekannt ist.“ Die Neueröffnung ist für den Sommer geplant.

Fest im Visier hat der Movie Park auch die Eröffnung eines neuen interaktiven Laser-Walkthroughs in Studio 7. Damit schafft der Park eine neue Erfahrung für eine breite Zielgruppe. Dort ist vor allem Treffsicherheit gefragt. In sechs verschiedenen Szenen schlüpfen die Gäste, mit Laserwaffen ausgerüstet, in die Rolle als Geisterjäger. Ort des Geschehens sind ab Sommer die ehemaligen Räume von „The Walking Dead Breakout“.

Erneuerung der Infrastruktur

Dieses Jahr investiert der Park in seine Infrastruktur. Die Toilettenanlagen werden im Verlauf des Jahres renoviert und thematisch neugestaltet. Damit Familien einen passenden Platz zur Pause finden, werden mehr Sitzmöglichkeiten im Park geschaffen und - für heiße Tage - werden zusätzlich einige Wartebereiche beschattet. Das Gastro-Angebot bekommt neue Stores und Produkte, darunter als erster Freizeitpark in Europa - so die Parkleitung - einen Dunkin‘ Donuts Shop im ehemaligen New York Coffee. Ein neuer Churros-Stand soll nun dauerhaft entstehen, neugestaltet wird auch der Spirello-Stand mit einem angepassten Design zur Van Helsing‘s Factory. Das Retracking von Deutschlands erster Holzachterbahn „The Bandit“ geht weiter. So wurden noch einmal 150 Meter der Strecke erneuert.

Der beliebte „Cosplay Day“ findet in diesem Jahr zum dritten Mal statt und die Besucher können ebenfalls wieder auf die Pyro Games oder die Cheerleading Championship gespannt sein. Ein Highlight zum Saisonende wird das 22. Halloween Horror Festival in Oktober und November sein.

Auszeichnungen und Familienfreudlichkeit

Der Movie Park wurde im vergangenen Jahr mit mehreren familienfreundlichen Qualitätssiegeln ausgezeichnet: So erhielt er erneut das Prädikat Gold (Nr. 1 der Freizeitparks) von „Welt am Sonntag“ und „Service Value“. Im großen Deutschlandtest von „Focus Money“ wurde der Park zu „Deutschlands besten Freizeit- und Themenparks“ gewählt und vom Magazin „Stern“ in der Kategorie „Beste Freizeitparks Deutschlands“ ausgezeichnet.

2021, zum 25. Jubiläum, sind natürlich mehr Neuheiten und weitere Verbesserungen geplant, wie die Parkleitung mitteilt. Info: www.movieparkgermany.de

‘Patrulha Canina: Filhotes a toda velocidade’ ganha primeiro pôster nacional

Animação da Nickelodeon chega aos cinemas brasileiros em maio

Liderados por Ryder, os cãezinhos mais adorados da TV, Chase, Marshall, Rocky, Skye, Rubble e Zuma voltam às telonas numa aventura inédita da Nickelodeon, que chega aos cinemas de todo país dia 28 de maio, com distribuição Paris Filmes. Em “Patrulha Canina: Filhotes a Toda Velocidade” (Ready, Race, Rescue), os famosos personagens do universo infantil se unem para viabilizar um grande campeonato de corrida na Baía da Aventura. O pôster, recém-revelado, apresenta o grupo se divertindo, enquanto pilota os carros na pista automobilística.

Agora, nesta nova história, um campeonato de corrida será realizado na Baía da Aventura, e os competidores são pouco a pouco sabotados por Chita, a prima do Prefeito Humdinger. O plano dos primos Humdinger é eliminar todos os competidores para que, assim, Chita seja a única vencedora possível.

Baseada na popular série de TV da Nickelodeon, a nova aventura que chega aos cinemas em maio reedita o sucesso do último ano, quando “Patrulha Canina: Super Filhotes” (Paw Patrol Mighty Pups) ganhou as telonas . Com seus superpoderes, Ryder e os filhotes têm mais um mistério para resolver a bordo do novo Pit Stop Móvel deles.

Sinopse – Patrulha Canina: Filhotes a Toda Velocidade

Estão todos ansiosos pela “Baía da Aventura 500”, uma corrida eletrizante que acontece na cidade. Dentre os competidores, está Whoosh, o favorito do Marshal. Há também Chita, prima do Prefeito Humdinger, e tão desonesta quanto ele. Como é de se esperar, após muitas trapaças na pista, Whoosh acaba torcendo o braço e não consegue mais dirigir, mas Marshall assume o volante na competição e corre na disputa. Mesmo assim, Chita consegue vencer trapaceando e sem que Marshall perceba o truque sujo. Porém, a corrida final ainda está por vir: será o Rali de Estrada ao Redor do Mundo que definirá o grande vencedor do campeonato! Com os olhos no troféu, Chita e o Prefeito Humdinger bolam um plano mirabolante para roubar peças dos carros dos outros competidores para fazerem uma melhoria no carro de corrida de Chita. Para fazê-lo, eles começam a pegar os carros um a um, até não sobrar mais nenhum carro para competir. Enquanto isso, Whoosh está treinando Marshall para a grande corrida, já que ele mesmo não poderá competir por estar machucado. Na tentativa de roubar o carro de Marshall, o Prefeito Humdinger acaba levando o próprio Whoosh na gaiola com o dirigível dele. Agora, a Patrulha Canina tem um misterioso caso de carros de corrida desaparecidos para desvendar e também precisa salvar Whoosh do dirigível do Prefeito Humdinger. E Marshall terá que competir contra Chita no Rali de Estrada ao Redor do Mundo!
