From Variety:

ViacomCBS Intl. Studios Unveils its First Animated Series: ’Gloria Wants to Know It All’ (EXCLUSIVE)

ViacomCBS Intl. Studios (VIS), the fast expanding international content production arm of ViacomCBS, is driving for the first time into animation, partnering with Marc Anthony and Argentina’s Juan José Campanella, writer-director of the Academy Award winning “The Secret in Their Eyes.”

First up is a development deal on animated series “Gloria Wants to Know It All,” alongside Anthony’s Magnus Studios, Campanella’s Mundoloco Animation Studios in Buenos Aires and Miami-based Lanugo Media, co-founded by Carla Curiel and Roberto Castro and a family entertainment company committed to creating culturally relevant content promoting diversity.

Targeting pre-school children, “Gloria Wants to Know It All” turns on Gloria, an eight-year-old alpaca from the big city. Vacationing at her grandmother’s house in Pueblo Lanugo, described by VIS in a statement as “an incredible small town that is a vibrant example of the richness of Latin American culture,” Gloria discovers that there’s a huge amount to learn and, as the series title suggests, wants to know it all.

The series will feature music by U.S. singer, songwriter and actor Marc Anthony, a six-time Latin Grammy winner, who will executive produce the project as well as serve as the show’s executive musical producer. Campanella is also executive producing.

“Gloria Wants to Know It All” has been created by Curiel, Castro, producer Felipe Pimiento  (“Britney Spears Live: the Femme Fatale Tour”), who acts as an executive producer for Magnus Studios, and Mundoloco’s Gaston Gorali, the producer-co-writer of the Campanella-directed “Futbolín (“Underdogs”), the biggest animated feature to come out of Latin America.

Doreen Spicer (“Motown Magic”), María Escobedo (“Elena de Ávalor”) and Diego Labat, a writer on Mundoloco’s Discovery Kids TV series “Mini Beat Power Rockers,” are writing the series.

Animation will be produced by Mundoloco Animation Studios. The style of animation is being discussed as part of the development process, said Federico Cuervo, senior VP and head of ViacomCBS Intl. Studios.

“A new challenge for our studio, to produce an animated series, a new genre for us to explore,” Cuervo told Variety on Monday, “animation travels very well worldwide, because of its universal appeal to all kind of audiences.”

Beyond that, “In these uncertain times, it can be produced remotely, without any major concerns,” he added.

Catching the curve of a foreseeable build in animation projects – though Cuervo warns that it takes a longer time than live-action to move from concept to market – VIS’ involvement in “Gloria Wants to Know In All” comes just days after it announced a live-action series based on the life of Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi, with “Pan’s Labyrinth” producer Frida Torresblanco and 66 Media’s Jill Offman on board to develop the project. Gentileschi was an admired but rare example of a female painter in the Italian Baroque period.

Highlighting the “splendor and diversity of our Latino culture for children everywhere,” as Anthony commented when “Gloria” was  first announced in February, “Gloria” aims “to bring pride to all those who feel different, no matter where they come from,” Campanella added.

“Know your roots to understand your destiny,” VIS said, announcing it had boarded “Gloria Wants to Know In All.”

“Diversity and inclusion is an essential part of everything we do around all our contents, not just this project,” Cuervo said Monday.

He went on: “ViacomCBS as a whole is committed to D&I with different initiatives already announced and in VIS we are taking strong steps to fulfil that commitment in front and behind the camera.”

ViacomCBS Networks International (VCNI) is rolling out a company-wide “No Diversity, No Commission” production policy to promote diversity, equity and inclusion. Under the new policy, all new international productions will need to be made by a diverse team.

This policy was originally launched by ViacomCBS Networks UK in July, but it will now apply to VCNI’s business across five continents and more than 180 countries.

The policy requires production companies to adhere to diversity guidelines before budgets are signed off and productions are approved to begin. Once budgets have been set, the commissioner or project lead will check for appropriate diversity and recommend improvements as needed. The policy also aims to increase representation behind the camera to ensure that a variety of balanced, diverse voices are involved in all aspects of production, according to a ViacomCBS press release.

“Expanding ‘No Diversity, No Commission’ to our entire international organization is an important strategic move for VCNI,” said David Lynn, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and president VCNI. “ViacomCBS Networks International creates and distributes content to audiences all over the world. This approach will ensure that we are both reflecting our audience, as well as elevating new diverse creative voices. Change requires thorough research, careful planning, and immense care, and we’re looking forward to creating impactful, sustainable change through the power of our networks, partnerships, platforms and brands.”

As part of its inclusion strategy, VCNI has unveiled two further initiatives: The Global Content, Diverse Voices program will identify global scripted content that elevates underrepresented cultures across both Youth & Entertainment and Kids & Family brands; Alongside that, Elevating Diverse Creators will mean that in Latin America, 25 percent of ViacomCBS International Studios’ budget will be allocated to the education and development of projects by BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) creators.

In addition, VCNI’s Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asian (EMEA) division has also committed to dedicating 30 percent of its budget in 2021 produce stories focused on or related to underrepresented groups and issues.

“Audiences around the world, particularly younger generations and kids, are becoming more and more diverse in composition, outlook and perspectives, and it’s our responsibility to ensure that our content reflects the world in which our audiences live,” said Jules Borkent, Executive Vice President (EVP) of kids and family at VCNI. “Our research tells us very clearly that kids want to see themselves reflected on-screen. By launching ‘No Diversity, No Commission’ across our international brands, we are able to ensure that the shows and characters we create continue to reflect kids today and tomorrow.”

“Diversity, inclusion and equity need to be at the heart of everything we do within our brands and our business,” said Kerry Taylor, executive VP of youth and entertainment. “We are committed to doing better, to making progress in this area, and using our platforms to shine a light on the talent, voices and stories that need to be seen and heard. No diversity, no commission is an important step in our journey.”

In the wake of this summer’s fresh wave of Black Lives Matter protests, several broadcasters have stepped up and changed their approach to D&I initiatives, looking both outward as well as inward.

LOS ANGELES—Oct. 13, 2020—Gen Z studio Awesomeness, a subsidiary of ViacomCBS, today announced two new reality shows featuring two pairs of twin stars: Mystery Twin Bin, starring Veronica and Vanessa Merrell, launches October 17th and Twintervention, starring Niki and Gabi DeMartino, launches December 11th.  In addition, season 3 of the Merrell Twins’ hit AwesomenessTV dating show Twin My Heart returns November 28th with new bachelor Nate Wyatt, a member of TikTok collective Hype House. The full twin slate will premiere on AwesomenessTV’s YouTube channel.

In Mystery Twin Bin, the Merrell Twins are in for the surprise of their lives as Awesomeness sends Vanessa and Veronica a mystery bin containing clues and items for that day’s challenge. It will be twin vs. twin as they compete to win across six episodes. In addition to the new series, the Merrells will return for season 3 of their hit dating show Twin My Heart, which will  see the twins help new bachelor Nate Wyatt find his one true love through a series of competitions and challenges. Season 2 of Twin My Heart, which premiered in February and saw the girls find love for their best friends Franny and Nezza, has 17 million views to date.

Across six episodes, Twintervention follows identical but polar-opposite twin sisters Niki and Gabi DeMartino. In front of the camera, they have built a successful YouTube empire, share a fun friend group, and vacation together on AwesomenessTV’s longtime Niki & Gabi series. But behind the scenes, their sisterly relationship is at its breaking point. Twintervention will put the twin’s relationship to the test and ultimately crown one of them as “Sister of the Year.”  Coached by a panel of experts with visits from surprise guests, Niki and Gabi will have to face their problems to compete in a series of challenges that will either make or break their bond as sisters. The new series follows season 5 of Niki and Gabi’s hit AwesomenessTV series, Niki & Gabi Take Bahamas, which has over 12 million views to date.

The twins have also been nominated for several Teen Choice Awards, as well as a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2020 in the category of "Favorite Female Social Star."

Niki DeMar and Gabi DeMartino are the twin recording artists, content creators and influencers who have over 9.5 million subscribers and over one billion views since launching their “Niki & Gabi” YouTube channel in 2012. The girls also each have their own successful channels, Niki with “Niki DeMar” and Gabi with “Fancy Vlogs by Gab.” Aside from YouTube, Niki and Gabi have received much praise in the music world for their singles “FIRST,” “RU” and “Hair Tie,” their EP “individual” and now their solo music. Both twins have new solo music releasing throughout the end of 2020, with Niki first release being “Alone In My Car” and Gabi’s first release being “Champagne Dreams.” While Niki and Gabi are unstoppable together, the duo is just as successful apart. The girls are known for their opposite style, with Niki sporting colorful hair and edgier fashion, while Gabi is known for her designer style.

Danger Force’s four brand-new superheroes-in-training were introduced in the final episodes of Henry Danger. Henry Danger is Nick’s longest running live-action sitcom, with 128 episodes across five seasons. For 2019 and year to date, the series is the number-one show for Kids 6-11 on all TV.

Production of Danger Force is overseen for Nickelodeon by Shauna Phelan, Senior Vice President, Live-Action Scripted Content. Omar Camacho serves as Nickelodeon’s Executive in Charge of Production for the series.

Danger Force made its world premiere on Nickelodeon USA on Saturday, March 28, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT).

Danger Force underscores a key element of Nickelodeon's content strategy, to build and expand the worlds of its enormously popular franchises like Henry Danger, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Blue's Clues & You!, among others, to give audiences more of what they 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.

COME, DREAM AGAIN AT AMERICAN DREAM

American Dream will reopen for guests to explore, shop, and play on October 1

Photographer: Samantha Nandez/BFA.com

East Rutherford, NJ, Sept. 03, 2020 -- Following Governor Murphy’s recent announcement, American Dream will begin welcoming guests again with the opening of retail and reopening of its acclaimed indoor entertainment experiences on Thursday, October 1.

Retailers including H&M, Primark, and ZARA will open their American Dream locations for the first time and DreamWorks Water Park, Nickelodeon Universe, Out of This World Blacklight Mini Golf, and The Rink will reopen Thursday, October 1. Big SNOW American Dream opened Tuesday, September 1st and announcements about additional openings and new experiences will be released soon. To ensure the safety of our guests, reduced attendance levels and extensive health and safety protocols will be observed by all attractions and retailers at American Dream.

“We’d like to thank Governor Murphy, his administration, the New Jersey Department of Health, our legislative delegation, County Executive Jim Tedesco and his team, and the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority for their collective efforts throughout this process to get to a safe reopening,” said Don Ghermezian, Co-CEO at American Dream.

“We also want to thank our guests and team members for their patience and loyalty while we were closed,” said Mark Ghermezian, Co-CEO at American Dream. “We know that our community has been waiting to return, but it was important to us that we took the proper time and precautions needed to welcome guests back in the safest possible manner. The last several months have been difficult for everyone, and even though we are still adjusting to the new normal, we are confident that we can provide guests a safer environment to make dreams come true for everyone, everywhere, as well as create much needed job opportunities in New Jersey.”  

The health and safety of our community is, and will continue to be, our top priority at American Dream. Over the last several months, we have enlisted experts across health, safety, and government to develop in-depth health and safety plans for the property and each of our attractions and retailers. Our COVID-19 Health & Safety plan follows guidelines from State and Local government agencies, as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and was built in partnership with Hackensack Meridian Health, our primary health care partner. Additional details around this partnership will be announced soon.

A few things guests can expect upon their return to American Dream include, but are not limited to:  

• Face coverings required for entry into American Dream
• Reduced capacities throughout American Dream and within each of our open attractions
• Increased sanitizing and disinfecting throughout American Dream common areas and attractions
• Hand sanitizer stations and hygiene reminders installed throughout American Dream and within our attractions
• Physical distancing guidance, including ground markings, plexiglass barriers, touchless programming and more
• The Nickelodeon theme park's entrance has been reconfigured to improve traffic flow and make social distancing easier. Rides will limit capacity to provide more space between guests.

As each of our attractions will be operating at reduced capacities, we strongly encourage and advise guests to book their experiences in advance of their visit at www.americandream.com - tickets are available for purchase today.

Prices for Nickelodeon Universe tickets have been reduced by about $20 from pre-COVID prices and are now based on the age of the guest. Guests over the age of 10 will pay $59, those who are 3 to 9 years old pay $55 and it’s $49 for those over 65. Prices used to vary based on weekday or weekend and access to all the rides or or just the tamer ones. Peak pricing was $79.99.

American Dream is the ultimate family destination, and a central part of that experience includes entertainment, retail, and dining partners. We will be sharing updates about additional openings and new experiences soon.

The news follows Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America reopening in August.

For more information about Nickelodeon Universe at American Dream, visit: http://nickalive.blogspot.com/2019/10/nickelodeon-universe-at-american-dream.html

“As we move closer to a time when families and kids of all ages can once again safely visit Nickelodeon Universe at American Dream, we are pleased to be able to offer a fun and immersive experience with the iconic Nick characters they love. Nickelodeon Universe exceeded all expectations in the several months that it was open pre-pandemic, and we look forward to continued success together with our partners at American Dream” – Gerald Raines, Senior Vice President, Global Location Based Experiences, ViacomCBS

“We are thrilled to reopen our 3-story flagship store and world’s first candy department store. There is nowhere else like American Dream and we look forward to once again immersing the property’s guests back into the world of IT’SUGAR.” - Jeff Rubin, CEO & Founder, IT’SUGAR

“American Dream is truly unlike any retail center in the world. Our ZARA flagship store is a testament to our commitment to American Dream. We know our customers are anxiously awaiting ZARA at American Dream, where they will be able to shop our women's, men's, and children's collections, and we are confident that they’ll fully embrace the innovation that is American Dream.” – Moises Costas, Director of Expansion and Real Estate, Inditex Group (ZARA) USA

“American Dream is an economic imperative for the Greater Meadowlands region and the entire New Jersey economy. The opening and success of this world class facility makes the Meadowlands a primary destination which will provide thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of economic impact for communities. American Dream generates huge visitation for the region, filling hotels and in turn drives visitors to other local destinations. American Dream will be the economic engine for the Meadowlands Sports Complex, helping us attract the world’s most notable events. New Jersey needs American Dream to help revive its economy in a post-COVID-19 era.” - Jim Kirkos, President & CEO, Meadowlands Chamber

American Dream laid off about 100 workers during the pandemic and said in June that it would eliminate 7% of the employees it previously hired. It also said that it would shift its offerings from 55% entertainment and 45% retail to 70% entertainment and 30% retail.

The project’s developer, Triple Five, has struggled financially during the pandemic, with its properties closed and few tenants paying rent. It missed three $7 million payments on its $1.9 million mortgage on the Mall of America. Triple Five used a 49% stake in Mall of America as collateral when it secured $2.8 billion in financing for American Dream, intertwining the two properties

The Canadian-based developer entered into a cash management agreement last month to avoid foreclosure.

Contractors working on American Dream have also filed liens against the developer saying they weren’t being paid.

Seventeen stores have been issued certificates of occupancy and are ready to open, state Department of Community Affairs spokeswoman Gina Trish confirmed to New Jersey 101.5:

Aldo
Arc’Teryx
Asics
Century 21
Columbia
DSW
Fabletics
Hollister
Mac Cosmetics
Pink-Victoria’s Secret
Primark
Samsonite
Sephora
Sunglass Hut
Tumi
Uniqlo.

The retail landscape has changed during the pandemic with Lord & Tayor, which was to have a store at the complex, closing all its stores. GNC included the American Dream location on its list of stores closing.

Trish said the amusement rides that are already permitted and had been operating do not require re-inspection to reopen.

"However a DCA team will be on site to reinspect as part of the standard operating procedure for amusement facilities," Trish said.

Update (9/29) - All 25 of Nickelodeon Universe’s original rides have been approved to open, according to the state Department of Community Affairs (via NJ.com).

A new ride called Flip Zone, however, has been taken out of operation by state inspectors because it wasn’t functioning correctly. “Once the necessary fixes are released from DCA’s engineering review, the ride will need another inspection before it is put back in operation,” a DCA spokesperson said.

Five new rides are also in the works for Nickelodeon Universe. Samba Tower, Crazy Bus, Happy Swing, Speed Way and Tea Cup are all in engineering review, the spokesperson said.

Prices for Nickelodeon Universe tickets have been reduced by about $20 from pre-COVID prices and are now based on the age of the guest. Guests over the age of 10 will pay $59, those who are 3 to 9 years old pay $55 and it’s $49 for those over 65. Prices used to vary based on weekday or weekend and access to all the rides or just the tamer ones. Peak pricing was $79.99.

American Dream mega mall is hiring as it prepares to reopen

American Dream mall, Nickelodeon Universe, and an NHL-sized ice skating rink opened in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Friday. The mall opened today after years of anticipation. October 25, 2019.Patti Sapone | NJ Advance Media

American Dream is hiring for full- and part-time positions at its Nickelodeon Universe theme park, DreamWorks Water Park and other venues at the mega-mall.

It is scheduled to reopen Oct. 1 after being closed for more than six months because of the pandemic. American Dream had planned to open its DreamWorks Water Park and an unspecified number of stores and restaurants on March 19, but it shut down March 16 to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.

Those unveilings are now planned for its reopening Oct. 1. Stores including H&M, Primark and Artizia will open for the first time, as will the Dream Works Water Park. Previoulsy opened attractions Nickelodeon Universe theme park, The Rink ice skating rink and IT’SUGAR, a three-story candy store, will also reopen.

Big SNOW at American Dream reopened Sept. 1, the first day it was allowed to.

Gov. Phil Murphy allowed indoor amusements to reopen Sept. 1 but American Dream delayed its reopening. Mark Ghermezian, Co-CEO at American Dream, said earlier this month that “it was important to us that we took the proper time and precautions needed to welcome guests back in the safest possible manner.”

With two weeks left before the reopening, American Dream is now looking to hire more workers. The available positions include:

- Lifeguard, with paid certified training provided.

- Admission and guest services representatives, who will greet guests and help them purchase attraction tickets and hand out admissions wristbands.

- Ride operator, who will operate heavy machinery, enforce height and rider safety requirements, and interact with guests.

- Retail Associates for Nickelodeon Universe, DreamWorks Water Park, Angry Birds Not So Mini Golf Club, and other American Dream-operated retail shops.

- Ice Rink Attendants who instruct guests on safe usage of The Rink, help with scheduling and reservations, process skate and helmet rentals, collect and sanitize equipment, process all admissions, operate the Ice Resurface and more.

Applicants should apply online through the job postings. The Human Resources Team at American Dream will be hosting virtual interviews with qualified candidates in the coming weeks, with on-boarding/training sessions starting as soon as possible.

American Dream laid off about 100 workers during the shutdown and developer Triple Five struggled financially missing three mortgage payments on its Mall of America, which it used as collateral for American Dream financing. Triple Five cut a deal in August to avoid foreclosure.

A message from the American Dream co-CEOs:

To our American Dream Community: 

It has been nearly seven months since we closed our doors due to the uncertainty of COVID-19, and now here on October 1, 2020, we are reopening American Dream to all of you. We are ready to demonstrate what happens when American Dream, our Brand Partners, and our New Jersey community come together to make 3-million-square-feet of entertainment and retail safer than ever before.

We are so excited to show you all the magic at American Dream: our exclusive one-of-a-kind flagship stores like Zara, H&M, Primark, and Aritzia, along with Nickelodeon Universe, DreamWorks Water Park, The Rink, Angry Birds Not So Mini Golf Club, and of course Big SNOW. We have something for everyone, everywhere.

Over the past months, our amazing Dream Makers collaborated across all departments, and looked at many ways to adapt American Dream to the new normal. We focused on doing this right, not quickly, to ensure the safety of our guests and Dream Makers alike. We asked you what you wanted from an American Dream experience, and we turned your answers into action, like adding non-invasive temperature checks at the entrances of our parks and launching our #dreamsafe initiative with Hackensack Meridian Health. We spoke to our Brand Partners to find out how they were rethinking their store environments, product packaging, and selling experience so we as American Dream could build a better experience for you.  

All our hard work has paid off, and we are beyond happy to reopen our doors. We look forward to seeing you and your families fill these colorful spaces once more. Come for the entertainment, the shops, the food, and the fun. We invite you to Come, Dream Again.  

All the Best,

American Dream co-CEO reveals plans to integrate technology

American Dream co-CEO Mark Ghermezian has discussed plans to further integrate technology at the retailtainment destination, revealed during the first ever blooloop V-Expo.

American Dream reopened on October 1, welcoming guests once again to Big SNOW, Nickelodeon Universe, DreamWorks Water Park and The Rink.

Mark Ghermezian, whose background is in technology, told Blooloop that he loves software. “I love solving problems with technology and data,” he said.

Ghermezian’s “unique background” has given him a different way of thinking about the shopping centre, and the retail and entertainment business.

“I think there’s a lot of great technology out there that we can use internally, to help us become more productive and continue to be that thought leader in time and space.”

“I love using technology to create a much more productive environment for our dream makers and our team and the company and then also creating an amazing experience using technology to create an amazing experience for our guests.”

American Dream remodelled ticketing platform and app

Ghermezian also admitted that the coronavirus pandemic “definitely accelerated a lot of what I want to do” at American Dream.

American Dream remodelled its ticketing platform and mobile app in order to “become more transparent about safety” and also to allow visitors to use it for tickets, paying, and communicating.

“And we haven’t pushed the app out yet, but it will push it out over the coming weeks where our dream safe initiative will be front and center inside the app.”

Discussing e-commerce, Ghermezian said American Dream is “uniquely positioned” because of its access to intellectual property (IP).

“If we can start selling the merchandise of Nickelodeon, DreamWorks, Angry Birds and others that we partner up with, I believe that’s our e-commerce strategy.”

Ghermezian revealed that he has “been paying attention a lot to what’s happening in Asia” regarding live commerce, with a product now being tested at the Mall of America.

“So I kind of use Mall of America as a testing ground,” he said. “The team there is unbelievable. They’ve created a project that’s out there in the leading project for the last 30 years.”

Describing American Dream as “this huge content creator”, Ghermezian continued: “What can we do to break out of the four walls using technology.

Ghermezian talks e-commerce and live commerce

“Whether that’s e-commerce, whether that’s live commerce, whether that’s within the mobile app, there’s a lot of interesting things that we can do with the American Dream brand, using technology and IP.

“If you can create great content within your centre – I don’t think other centres can because they’re limited to continue to create content with just retail – that our guests want to digest, I think we can demand it.

“And there’s a lot of interesting things that we can do with it by combining food, retail, and the attractions. I think it’s difficult to do one by itself.”

According to Ghermezian, American Dream is providing a space in brick and mortar, as well as analytics, a ticketing platform, pre-bookings and reservations.

CEO is “excited” about “technology in itself”

“Even if you’re coming to shop, we can combine that with our ticketing platform, we’re building a really strong growth marketing team, we have a full product and engineering team that we’ve put together during COVID,” he said.

“So I think all of this combined is kind of the vision. I don’t think there’s one specific technology that I’m excited about. I think it’s just technology in itself and the sector in itself.”

American Dream is now open in New Jersey. However, Merlin Entertainments’ Legoland Discovery Center and SEA LIFE Aquarium won’t launch until spring 2021.

Watch the full session at the blooloop V-Expo

Watch the full session at the blooloop V-Expo, running from October 13 to 15. The full session will be on demand from October 14.

Vaibhav Studios has added more feathers to its cap! The animation studio, best known for Lamput, swept away the most number of awards at the Promax India 2020 and one award at the Venice TV Awards for its funny, whacky and captivating idents for Nickelodeon India.

Helmed by founder and animation veteran Vaibhav Kumaresh along with his team of talented animators/directors – Ajit Aher, Dapoon Rai Dewan and Anand Babu, the Nick idents bagged four awards at the Promax Global Excellence Awards in Los Angeles and a whopping 12 awards at the Promax Awards India in 2019.

Commenting on the same, an elated Kumaresh shared with Animation Xpress, “I’m delighted and want to congratulate our entire team, especially our directors and animators Aher, Dewan and Anand. The animated ident campaign that we created for Nickelodeon India are doing great at the awards. The sole intention behind conceiving and pitching this ‘handmade’ campaign was for us to detox from the increasing digital projects we had been working on for a long time! I’m glad Nick India bought our idea and paid us to have fun! The campaign was truly refreshing for us, and we’re glad that the fun continues even now!”

Here’s the full list of awards won by the animation studio for their work for Nickelodeon:

Promax India 2020

Nickelodeon Garba Ident – GOLD

Best Brand Image Campaign (Out of House)

Best Brand Image Design (Out of House)

Best Ident (Out of House)

Best Original Music / Score

Best Holiday / Seasonal Promo

Nickelodeon Vada Pav Ident – SILVER

Best Ident (Out of House)

Venice TV Awards 2020

Nick Valentine’s Ident – Best Programme Promotion

Speaking about the idents, Dewan commented, “This year has been amazing at the awards, just like last year. It is special for me because these films mark my debut as a co-director and a conceptualizer. It’s been an amazing learning curve where I needed to think of every aspect of filmmaking – be it the story, the storyboards, the set design, the model making, the animation, the lighting and even the music. Each of these areas were tremendous fun and will always be a memorable experience for me. I thank Vaibhav and the folks in my studio for giving me this opportunity. Also, special mention to Roto Shah, the music director of the Street food Rap [Vada Pav ident] and the Train [Valentine’s Day] idents, who single handedly created such catchy tunes for both the films!”

Kumaresh further mentioned, “For me the greatest fun is when we are collectively conceiving and producing the films. The amazing feedback from our audience coupled with awards globally is merely a byproduct of the fun we had. I’m sure there’s more to come! Also, special kudos to music composer Narayan Parasuram for directing multiple live musicians and composing a highly intricate musical track for the Garba ident. No wonder it won him the Gold for the best original music score.”

An equally excited Parasuram added, “I’m obviously very thrilled at the award sweep that the Nick Garba idents have won. I’m also happy that its music has been recognised. The music is very unique in its compositional form. It’s very traditional Gujrati folk Garba music and the entire 40 seconds track is completely acoustic. 10 to 15 musicians played it, from dhol to shehnai to jhanj and others;  no electronic programming, instruments were used. For that you need a very gutsy producer like Kumaresh as it involves more cost, more effort because you don’t sit with a laptop and download ethnic music. It could have been done that way, but the way we did it has a magic of its own. The magic is highlighted more as it’s based on an ancient Indian Raga – Brindabani Sarang and I’ve tried to bring that element in the contemporary, funky piece of snackable content on Gujrati food. So, it’s a ‘sangam’ of food and music of which the Gujrati culture is very passionate about. Thanks to Kumaresh for giving me this opportunity.”

The vocal track is sung brilliantly by Upaghna Pandya, a scholar (MA in Gujrati) who lent her voice for Makdee songs as a child. She brought in the authentic, rustic Gujrati accent though the lyrics are mostly gibberish.

A full list of Promax India 2020 winners can be found at https://www.promaxindia.tv/winners-list-2020/.

A huge congratulations to Vaibhav Studios, Nickelodeon and to everyone involved in making the Nickelodeon Idents!

Nickelodeon Latin America (Latinoamérica) has announced the finalists of Kids' Choice Awards México 2020!

Kids' Choice Awards is the world's largest children's and teen awards, and celebrates kids’ favourites from the worlds of entertainment, music, sports and more.

Not much is currently known about Kids' Choice Awards México 2020, the 11th annual local edition of Nick's Kids' Choice Awards slimefest tentpole, however, due to the on-going COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, it's expected that KCA México 2020 will look a little different than previous years by foregoing its annual on-the-ground event, and instead be hosted from a studio or an "at home" setting, following in the footsteps of Nickelodeon Germany (Deutschland), Switzerland (Schweiz) and Austria (Österreich), and Nickelodeon USA, who held their editions of Kids' Choice Awards in a virtual setting, as well as Nickelodeon Brazil (Brasil), who is hosting Meus Prêmios Nick 2020 in a studio setting. If this is the case, fans can still expect lots of stars, orange blimps and, of course, slime!

"Mr. Krabs! Yeah, that was a complete lark. It was a crazy little cartoon that they were putting together for Nickelodeon back in the day," Brown revealed to EW. "I just went in and did sort of a pirate-y voice and I got lucky and Steve (Hillenburg, the show's late creator) said, 'You’re the guy.' Nobody thought it was going to go on for 20-frigging years for crying out loud, but it has, and it’s a lot of fun, they're a great group of people. It put my kid through college, so I can’t complain."

Nickelodeon Reveals First Look of Characters in Original

Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years Animated Series

SpongeBob and His Bikini Bottom Friends Head to Kamp Koral

in All-New Series Debuting on Paramount+ in 2021

 

From L-R: Plankton, Sandy, SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward and Mr. Krabs in Nickelodeon’s Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years.

Share it: @Nickelodeon @SpongeBob @OfficialPatrickStar @NickAnimation

BURBANK, Calif.-Oct. 14, 2020-Nickelodeon today revealed a first look of the characters in its all-new animated series Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years, which follows 10-year-old SpongeBob SquarePants and his pals as they spend their summer building underwater campfires, catching wild jellyfish, and swimming in Lake Yuckymuck at the craziest camp in the kelp forest, Kamp Koral. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio, the series is slated to debut in 2021 exclusively on the newly rebranded Paramount+ streaming video on demand service. Following the season’s run on Paramount+, the series will also air on Nickelodeon later in the year.

In Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years, SpongeBob meets Patrick, Sandy, Squidward, Plankton and Mr. Krabs, where the new friends embark on all the joys of camp, including hunting for treasure, slaplining and more. The CG-animated series (13 episodes) is the first original spinoff of Nickelodeon’s iconic hit show SpongeBob SquarePants.

Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years features Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy) and Mr. Lawrence (Plankton) reprising their iconic roles. Carlos Alazraqui (The Casagrandes) and Kate Higgins (Blaze and the Monster Machines) join as new characters Nobby and Narlene, narwhal siblings who live in the woods surrounding the camp.

Marc Ceccarelli (SpongeBob SquarePants), Vincent Waller (SpongeBob SquarePants) and Jennie Monica (SpongeBob SquarePants) are co-executive producers of the series. Production of Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years is overseen by Kelley Gardner, Vice President, Current Series Animation, Nickelodeon.

Since its launch July 17, 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has reigned as the number-one kids’ animated series on TV for the last 17 years, while generating a universe of beloved characters, pop culture catchphrases and memes, theatrical releases, consumer products, a Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical and a global fan base.  SpongeBob SquarePants is the most widely distributed property in Viacom International Media Networks history, seen in more than 170 countries and territories, translated in 30+ languages, and averaging more than 100 million total viewers every month.  SpongeBob SquarePants was created by Stephen Hillenburg and produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank. The character-driven cartoon chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurable optimist and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends.

The forthcoming Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years series is part of Nickelodeon’s strategy to be the home of the biggest franchises kids and families love, and it expands Nickelodeon’s growing portfolio of influential properties that already includes SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Blue’s Clues & You!, the all-new animated Star Trek: Prodigy series and recently announced The Smurfs.

Nickelodeon, now in its 41st year, is the number-one entertainment brand for kids. It has built a diverse, global business by putting kids first in everything it does. The brand includes television programming and production in the United States and around the world, plus consumer products, digital, location based experiences, publishing and feature films.

CBS All Access, the soon-to-be rebranded streaming service from ViacomCBS has today (Oct. 14) added two more Nickelodeon series to its programming library!

All five seasons of iCarly and three seasons of Victorious are now available to stream on CBS All Access.

They join previously added Nickelodeon titles Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, SpongeBob SquarePants, Henry Danger, The Loud House, The Thundermans, ALVINNN!!! and The Chipmunks, Game Shakers, Rugrats, CatDog, Sam & Cat, Danny Phantom, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Big Time Rush and The Fairly OddParents.

The news comes as ViacomCBS is preparing to rebrand CBS All Access as Paramount+ during early 2021, with further plans to launch the service globally.

Paramount+ will also be the U.S. home of the upcoming SpongeBob movie The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run and spin-off series Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years.

About iCarly:

Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove) finds her previously "normal" life turned upside down when her Internet show, "iCarly," becomes an instant smash with young Web heads. With her parents traveling abroad, Carly must rely on the help of friends Sam (Jeanette McCurdy) and Freddie (Nathan Kress), and her quirky older brother, Spencer (Jerry Trainor), to cope with the newfound success.

About Victorious:

Life is about to change in a big way for 16-year-old Tori Vega (Victoria Justice). After years of living in her older sister's shadow, Tori has been invited to attend Hollywood Arts, a high school with a focus on the performing arts. While the invitation came as a surprise — she's never thought of herself as particularly talented — and she still has to deal with being the new kid on campus, Hollywood Arts may just give Tori her chance to shine. Also starring: Leon Thomas III as Andre Harris, Daniella Monet as Trina, Matt Bennett as Robbie Shapiro, Rex Powers (Robbie's puppet), Ariana Grande as Cat Valentine, and Avan Jogia as Beck Oliver.
