CALLING ALL PETS!

COMEDIAN GABRIEL “FLUFFY” IGLESIAS TO HOST NICKELODEON’S UNLEASHED,
ALL-NEW COMEDIC PET TALENT COMPETITION SERIES
PREMIERES THURSDAY, OCT. 22, AT 7 P.M. (ET/PT)

Judges Peyton List, Preacher Lawson and Utkarsh Ambudkar to Decide
Which Acts are the Most Entertaining Pets Around


Share it: @Nickelodeon

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.--Oct. 2, 2020--From the backyard to the big stage, the search is on for America’s most entertaining pets in Nickelodeon’s all-new comedic competition show, Unleashed (10 episodes).  Hosted by superstar comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, the series brings the most impressive animal acts together to compete on stage in front of a jury comprised of kids and celebrity judges Peyton List (Cobra Kai), Preacher Lawson (America’s Got Talent, Connecting) and Utkarsh Ambudkar (Brittany Runs a Marathon, Free Guy) for the title of “Most Entertaining Pet” of the night.  The first two episodes of Unleashed premiere back-to-back on Thursday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.

Said Iglesias, “We have a squirrel that can water ski, enough said! You have to watch Nickelodeon’s Unleashed!”


Each episode of Unleashed will feature three animal-loving pet owners and their loyal companions as they take the stage to showcase their pet’s extraordinary talents.  From jaw-dropping tricks to hilarious skills, the pet contestants demonstrate their unique abilities… but anything can happen once the cameras start rolling.  Acts throughout the season include a water-skiing squirrel, a cheerleading goat, a hedgehog with a knack for agility tricks and a soccer-playing horse.  As each act performs, the celebrity judges and kid jury give their reactions before voting to crown the “Most Entertaining Pet” of the night.

Iglesias is no stranger to Nickelodeon, having appeared in season 6 of Nickelodeon's hit sketch comedy series All That in 2000.

Unleashed is produced by Fremantle (America’s Got Talent, American Idol, Celebrity Family Feud, Double Dare), with Jayson Dinsmore and Joni Day serving as executive producers.  Nikki Varhely-Gillingham (The Masked Singer) serves as executive producer and showrunner, with Nickelodeon’s Vice President of Unscripted Content Mandel Ilagan also serving as executive producer.  The series is directed by Ivan Dudynsky (The Voice, Hollywood Game Night).  Production for Nickelodeon is overseen by Rob Bagshaw, Executive Vice President, Unscripted Content.

Get ready for an adventure like nothing on Earth! The Astronauts launches Friday, Nov. 13, at 7 p.m. (ET/PT), only on Nickelodeon. Check out the latest out-of-this-world trailer below!:


Countdown to the launch at https://www.astronautsonnick.com!

Nickelodeon enters orbit for an epic hour-long premiere event of The Astronauts, the network’s first co-production with Imagine Kids+Family.  The brand-new live-action series follows a group of kids who embark on the adventure of a lifetime when they are mistakenly launched into space. The first two episodes of The Astronauts premiere back-to-back on Friday, Nov. 13, at 7 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.

In the hour-long premiere of The Astronauts, the spacecraft Odyssey II is set to launch on a mission to retrieve a foreign object that could potentially save mankind.  The plan quickly goes awry when five untrained kids use their parents’ security clearances to sneak onto the empty ship.  Soon after they board, the onboard AI system triggers the launch sequence.  Unable to stop the ship from blasting off, the kids must assume their new role as astronauts and brave harrowing tasks, as their parents rush to find a way to take control of the situation.

The group traveling together through space are: Samantha “Samy” Sawyer-Wei, played by Miya Cech (Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Always Be My Maybe); Elliott Combs, played by Bryce Gheisar (Wonder, A Dog’s Purpose); Martin Taylor, played by Keith L. Williams (Good Boys, The Last Man on Earth); Doria Taylor, played by Kayden Grace Swan (A Black Lady Sketch Show); and Will Rivers, played by Ben Daon (Child’s Play).  Matilda, the ship’s onboard AI system, is voiced by Paige Howard (The Employer, Adventureland).

Just Add Magic: Mystery City is locally titled Una pizca de magia en la ciudad misteriosa in Spain.

In the spellbinding spinoff of the successful series Just Add Magic, we follow the magic cookbook to Bay City as it moves to three new protectors: step-siblings Zoe (Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Cousins for Life, Adventures in Wonder Park) and Leo (Tyler Sanders, Fear the Walking Dead), and their downstairs neighbor Ish (Jenna Qureshi, Mozart in the Jungle). Each of the three brings a unique skill to the table, as the cookbook unlocks a centuries-old mystery that takes them on an historical adventure through the city streets in a race to find a secret recipe.

The series also stars Tess Paras as Erin, Matt Dellapina as Nick Sellitti, James Urbaniak as Pierce Hamilton, Casey Simpson (Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library) as Cody Hamilton, and Sydney Taylor as Lexi Hamilton, and features a special appearance from Kyla-Drew (Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn).


Nickelodeon acquired the international broadcast rights to the original three seasons of Just Add Magic as well as to the first season of Just Add Magic: Mystery City earlier this year.

Nickelodeon Expands the World of Henry Danger With All-New Danger Force Spinoff
New Live-Action Series to Premiere November 2020 on Nickelodeon Australia & New Zealand

Danger Force Introduces New Superhero Cast, Features Original Henry Danger Cast Members Cooper Barnes and Michael D. Cohen Reprising Their Fan-Favorite Roles


Share it: @Nickelodeon @HenryDanger #DangerForce

Nickelodeon is expanding the world of the number-one kids’ series, Henry Danger, with the launch of Danger Force, a brand-new original live-action spinoff premiering Monday 2nd November 2020 at 5:30pm (AEST) on Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand!

Created and executive produced by Christopher J. Nowak (Henry Danger, Sam & Cat), the new series stars two of the most beloved characters from Henry Danger, “Ray/Captain Man” (Cooper Barnes) and “Schwoz” (Michael D. Cohen), and introduces four new superheroes-in-training as they team up to fight crime in their town of Swellview. Danger Force is produced by Barnes and Jace Norman (Henry Danger), and production for the series is currently underway.

Following launch, new episodes will continue to air weekdays at 5:30pm (AEST) on Nick AU/NZ.

“A key part of our content strategy is to grow original franchises like Henry Danger by expanding their worlds through new characters and more high-stakes adventures,” said Brian Robbins, President, Kids & Family Entertainment, ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks. “We’re spinning off our Henry Danger mega-hit into Danger Force, where a new set of characters join members of the original cast for a wholly new take on this long-running series.”


In Danger Force, four kids--Chapa (Havan Flores), Miles (Terrence Little Gardenhigh), Mika (Dana Heath) and Bose (Luca Luhan)--are recruited to attend Swellview Academy for the Gifted (SW.A.G. for short), a school conceived by Captain Man and brought to life by Schwoz, after having been accidentally mutated in the fight to save Swellview. While there, the kids must learn to harness their frequently troublesome and sometimes uncontrollable superpowers as they begin to fight crime. Despite the dangerous circumstances of their new lives, the superheroes must keep their real identities a secret from both from their families and the villains who are out to destroy them.

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).

Fans can visit nick.com.au to find out more about their favourite Nickelodeon shows as well as watch video clips and play games. Fans can also like the official Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand Facebook page and follow Nickelodeon on Twitter and Instagram for the latest Nick news, highlights and videos.

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.

Melissa Joan Hart Reveals Which Prop From ‘Clarissa Explains It All’ She Wishes She Would’ve Taken From the Set

Melissa Joan Hart provided insight into the teenage mind on Clarissa Explains It All. She played the title character, Clarissa Darling, who clued the audience in on her life.


Clarissa would often sit in her bedroom and provide details about school, friends, her annoying younger brother, and crushes. A teenager herself while filming the show, Hart starred in the beloved Nickelodeon series from 1991 – 1994.

The series, which ran for four seasons, has come to be known as a classic ‘90s TV show. A pilot for a spin-off show called Clarissa Now was shot by CBS in 1995, but unfortunately wasn't picked up for a full series (the pilot can be watched here).

Today, Hart’s still an actor and she has keepsakes from various acting gigs. But when it comes to Clarissa Explains It All she wishes she would’ve left the set with one specific item from her character’s bedroom. 

In a 2019 interview with Architectural Digest about making her Lake Tahoe home her family’s main residence, the 44-year-old talked about what she wishes she would’ve taken from the set of Clarissa Explains It All - which was based at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida - and what she ended up with.

What does Hart wish she would’ve taken? “The white and red checker quilt,” she told Architectural Digest. “It’s just so iconic. I really wish I had taken that.”

The quilt always sat on Clarissa’s bed and seeing as her bedroom was one of the most often-used sets it made many appearances throughout the series.

Hart’s time on Clarissa Explains It All didn’t end with her leaving without a keepsake. She kept a vintage sign. 

“There was this episode where there was a gas station, and there was this old-fashioned circular Texaco sign. I took that,” she said.

“When I was a teenager, I had it in my bedroom,” she added, saying it was hanging up “for a long time.”

Not exactly like the hubcaps hanging up on the wall in Clarissa’s bedroom but still car-related.  

‘Clarissa Explains It All’ creator got pushback on Clarissa’s bedroom decor

Mitchell Kriegman, the creator of Clarissa Explains It All, reflected on the drama that ensued when he shared his visions for Clarissa’s bedroom with Mental Floss.

“I’ll never forget when we designed her room,” he said. “The designer was very upset at first because he wanted to design a very girly room. And I said, ‘OK, you can design her girly room,’ and so they did. It was pink.” 

Kriegman then proceeded to have the walls covered with black paint and it didn’t go over well.

“Then I said, ‘Now we’re going to take car paint and paint black checkers across the wall,’” he recalled. “They were in shock. I mean, there was a cameraman who said, ‘What is she, possessed by the devil?’”

Kriegman also noted he instituted a no-purple rule for any of the sets or the wardrobe. An arbitrary rule he made on the advice of an industry veteran, purple ended up making it into the wardrobe or the set multiple times. 

While Hart didn’t get the quilt maybe someday she can explain what happened to it after Clarissa Explains It All went off the air after four seasons.

There was talk about Nickelodeon reviving Clarissa Explains It All for a new generation of fans, but unfortunately, talks seem to have stalled for now. However, Hart's voice can be heard in Nickelodeon's The Casagrandes.

SpongeBob SquarePants' Hilarious Scene Change That Fixed A "Too Scary" Episode

$
0
0
One scene in a SpongeBob SquarePants episode was deemed too scary for some viewers, and so it had to be changed. Here's what happened and how it changed.


SpongeBob SquarePants is aimed at a young audience, but some of the writers’ decisions haven’t always been kid-friendly. Such is the case of a scene in the episode “Shanghaied”, which had to be changed after being shown in theaters before a movie. SpongeBob SquarePants was created by marine science educator and animator Stephen Hillenburg and made its debut on Nickelodeon in 1999. Since then, the show has become one of the longest-running American animated series, and has successfully expanded to other media, mostly video games and film.

SpongeBob SquarePants follows the daily adventures of the title character and his friends (and a couple of enemies, even if he sees them as friends) in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom. Among those who often accompany SpongeBob in all types of adventures (though not always voluntarily) are Patrick Star and Squidward Tentacles – the former is SpongeBob’s best friend and the latter is his neighbor and co-worker at the Krusty Krab. In season 2, they got involved in a big problem with the Flying Dutchman in the episode “Shanghaied”, which also brought a minor problem to the writers of the episode, as they had to do a quick change to a scene that was deemed “too scary” for children.

“Shanghaied” follows SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward as they come across the Flying Dutchman, a ghostly pirate with a bad temper and who is looking to acquire a new eternal crew to help him terrorize the residents of Bikini Bottom. The events of the episode are kickstarted by the anchor of the Dutchman’s ship crashing into SpongeBob’s pineapple house and later Squidward’s Easter Island head. They climb the anchor’s rope to complain to the Dutchman, but once they get to the ship they are informed they can’t leave and will be forced to work as ghostly crew for eternity. Squidward complains and so the Dutchman opens a zipper-like portal (called the “Fly of Despair”) and throws Squidward into it. As Squidward falls into that chaotic dimension, many creatures and objects can be seen in the background, and these turned out to be too much for some viewers.


“Shanghaied” was originally shown in theaters before a movie, but the demonic atmosphere of the “Fly of Despair”, which included skulls and skeleton remains, turned out to be too scary for some kids, and some changes were made before the episode aired on Nickelodeon. Before Squidward falls back into his home, the background of the “Fly of Despair” was replaced with a stock image of spaghetti and meatballs (real CreepyPasta?), but the first part of his journey down the dimension of chaos doesn’t seem to have changed much. The scene still shows some bizarre things, as are eyeballs, skulls, creatures with horns, a pink-headed monster, and more, and it’s unknown if these are the same ones shown in theaters or different, more toned down ones.

Fans of SpongeBob SquarePants have shared their different experiences with this particular episode, as some remember seeing the skulls and skeletons, and others are convinced it has always been spaghetti (in both scenes set in the “Fly of Despair”). Something similar happened to Ghostbusters 2, with fans reporting the ending that they saw at the theater being different to the ending that ended up on home video. It even varied by theater, with fans ending up getting different endings depending where they saw the movie! The rarely seen alternate ending would of had Slimer flying across the New York City skyline, a bit like at the end of the original Ghostbusters movie.

"At the end of the theater version of Ghostbusters II, Slimer comes out from behind the Statue of Liberty and flies right into the camera just like how he did at the end of the first movie. The VHS/DVD versions omits this and just ends with a pan up to the statue's head then a fade to black," says the Ghostbusters Wiki.

This wasn’t the first and only time the people behind SpongeBob SquarePants unintentionally scared their audience, as it happened again when they pretty much made the “Squidward’s suicide” image (also known as “Red Mist”) canon. Every generation is different, so it remains to be seen if the writers of SpongeBob SquarePants will continue making weird and potentially scary decisions and how the audience will react to them.

ViacomCBS Int’l Studios Launches New Kids Division Led by Nina Hahn

ViacomCBS International Studios (VIS), a division of ViacomCBS Networks International (VCNI), today (Oct. 26) announced the launch of a new kids content division with the appointment of Nina Hahn as Head of VIS Kids.


Based in London, Hahn will continue in her current role as Senior Vice President (SVP) of Production & Development at Nickelodeon International while taking on the additional responsibilities as head of VIS Kids, and will report to Juan “JC” Acosta, President, ViacomCBS International Studios and ViacomCBS Networks Americas, while continuing to report to Jules Borkent, Executive Vice President (EVP), Kids & Family, VCNI.

VIS is a global leader in the development and production of premium content for all platforms, genres and formats. The launch of VIS Kids allows for the expansion of the studio’s global kids content pipeline, broadening its kids content offering to include short and long form content that will be produced and sold to third parties, in addition to ViacomCBS brands and platforms.

Nina Hahn

As Head of VIS Kids, Hahn will focus on growing VIS’s kids content pipeline and expanding its global footprint. Hahn will lead on sourcing and developing originals within animated, live action and preschool genres by aligning closely with the studio’s production and development teams across Latin America, the U.K., Spain and Israel. Hahn will collaborate closely with domestic and international counterparts, along with an expanded central team that will include international development and production, sales and distribution.

During her tenure at Nickelodeon, Hahn has brought in more than 2,000 hours of original content for the kids brand, pioneered the organization’s first global hub for content sourcing and creation, and initiated first-of-its-kind projects with markets like China with Deer Squad, a co-production with iQiyi; Israel with Spyders, Nickelodeon International’s first original co-production with Ananey Studios; and India with The Twisted Timelines of Sammy & Raj, the brand’s first collaboration with Viacom18. Hahn has brought in over 2,000 hours of original content for the kids brand and led enterprise-wide efforts like Nickelodeon’s first global Writer’s Program, as well as the brand’s first global Shorts Program, which spawned It’s Pony, Nickelodeon International’s first original animated series for the 8-10 kids demographic to be greenlit by the U.S. for a global roll-out, and Shark Dog, VIS’ first internationally originated global animated series for Netflix, premiering worldwide in 2021.

With 30 series in production and 50 more in development, VIS is a key component of ViacomCBS’ content ecosystem. VIS has seen nearly 50 percent average revenue growth since inception, and the launch of VIS Kids will ensure continued revenue growth, while also serving as a foundation for the studio’s plan to develop more than 30 new kids shows over the next three years.

“VIS has an existing footprint in the kids arena with successful series like Club 57 and Noobees, so we felt it’s time to launch our own kids division of ViacomCBS International Studios. Nina has been a driving force behind many of Nickelodeon’s groundbreaking and award-winning series across the globe, and I am confident she will build on VIS’ momentum at the helm of VIS Kids,” said Acosta.

Hahn stated, “I’m honored to be heading up VIS Kids and plan to establish deep, diverse and inclusive roots in kids content. The launch of VIS Kids furthers our studio’s model of creating specialized divisions with central leadership, to ensure we can take full advantage of strategic opportunities that support VIS’ continued advancement.”

Nickelodeon has released its first-ever augmented reality (AR) app Do Not Touch in the U.K.!


The Do Not Touch app allows users to bring Nickelodeon’s iconic properties to life in a new and exciting way. 

Do Not Touch users experience interactive surprises and mini-games in the app which highlight Nickelodeon's properties including SpongeBob SquarePants, The Loud House, Slime and the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards blimp, along with original animations.

The app makes Nickelodeon’s recognisable 'Do Not Touch' button found on Nickelodeon's official websites and the Nickelodeon Play app, and the animations and interactive experiences it randomly generates, seem to appear in a user’s surrounding physical space when viewed through a mobile device’s camera.

Moving a device allows users to see the action from all angles on the screen, and tapping characters and objects reveals more surprises.

Play with SpongeBob in your kitchen, enter a portal into outer space from your living room, and dig for buried treasure under your bedroom floor! Get high scores to unlock rare buttons, games, and goodies – think you've got what it takes to collect them all?


The award-winning app will rollout new games and features on a regular basis to keep users entertained and engaged.

Nickelodeon's Do Not Touch app can be downloaded for free for iOS and Android devices via the Apple App Store and Google Play store, respectively.

Nickelodeon's Do Not Touch app first made its debut in the U.S. in March 2018.

ViacomCBS Consumer Products Unveils 2021 Highlights

ViacomCBS Consumer Products has unveiled some of its exciting plans for 2021!


ViacomCBS Consumer Products has new developments coming through in 2021. The diverse and extensive portfolio will have products on offer for 'Every Age, Every Aisle, Everywhere'.

In 2021, PAW Patrol releases its first-ever feature length film, Paw Patrol: The Movie. In partnership with Spin Master Entertainment, Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures, the film will hit the big screen in August 2021, as the pups leave Adventure Bay for a new mission in Adventure City. The movie will feature big-screen storytelling and epic action, which will include new locations, vehicles, characters and a roster of celebrity voice talent to create the ultimate 2021 family summer movie. The release will be supported by a multi-phased global marketing campaign with investment spanning the wider ViacomCBS eco-system and beyond. The fresh new look will offer the opportunity to create and distribute new and different cross-category consumer products for the brand.

Blue's Clues & You! will be one of 2021's top contenders in the pre-school area. Reigniting this cult pre-school powerhouse has already proven successful. Thanks to an approach across linear and digital, reaching kids wherever they watch content, the show was the number one preschool premiere in the UK when it first launched on Nick Jr. in May 2020. In the Blue's Clues & You! universe, children can learn, interact with the host and be challenged with problems to solve, all while having fun. The UK consumer product team will leverage the learning through play element to create a range of toys for 2-5 year olds for the 2021 autumn/winter season.

Baby Shark was named a top five new brand in the global market by NPD in March 2020. ViacomCBS will be expanding the reach of this iconic brand through a Nick Jr. animated series, Baby Shark's Big Show, which will launch in the UK during Q2 2021. Next year will be the opportunity to expand on the franchise with new licensees and products launching.

Rugrats will be back in 2021 with a brand-new CG-animated series slated to launch in Q3 2021 on Nickelodeon. This series will include the well-known characters, threaded with the memorable humour of the classic series, while also being reimagined for a modern-day audience. A consumer products line will follow in 2022.

Other key 2021 developments for ViacomCBS Consumer Products will include the release of Top Gun Maverick in July 2021 and the launch of social stars such as That Girl Lay Lay and Johnny Orlando, following their respective partnerships with Nickelodeon and MTV.

'Ricky Zoom' Season Two to Rev Onto Nick Jr. UK in November 2020

$

Entertainment One (eOne) is gearing up for the debut of Ricky Zoom season two (52×11 minute episodes) on Nick Jr. UK & Ireland in November 2020!


Ricky Zoom follows the adventures of Ricky, a little red rescue bike, and his loyal Bike Buddies as they zoom around their Wheelford community helping others, trying out new stunts, and learning to stand on their own two wheels.

Meet the Bike Buddies along for the ride:

- Ricky Zoom – A little rescue bike that loves to go fast, Ricky is a loyal friend and natural leader of the Bike Buddies.

- Loop Hoopla – An adventurous dirt bike with a happy-go-lucky attitude, Loop loves having fun and trying crazy new stunts.

- Scootio Wizzbang – Scootio is bright, brainy and never afraid to speak her mind. She loves using her technical genius and gadgets to solve problems.

- DJ Rumbler – DJ has a huge heart and would do anything for his friends. He also has a super toolbox and a robotic arm, so there is nothing he cannot build—or knock down.

Developed by Emmy Award-winning creator Alexander Bar and production house Frog Box, Ricky Zoom highlights the importance of friendship, resourcefulness, community and teamwork. Celebrating differences is one of many zoomtastic themes within the series. The series has been renewed for season two.

Ricky Zoom revved onto Nick Jr. during autumn 2020, where it received a strong debut, being watched by 2.0m to date. The series also raced onto Milkshake! in April 2020, where it has become the number-one show for kids aged 4-6 during its timeslot. The series also airs on Nick Jr. USA.

The growing broadcast exposure will drive awareness for Ricky Zoom as eOne builds up to the consumer products roll-out in autumn which will see additional toys released by master toy partner, Tomy. New toys will include the RC Turbo Tricky Ricky (pictured below), which does real wheelies and boasts the ability to do 360-degree stunt spins. The new toy line is being supported by a heavyweight TV and VOD campaign, targeted social media and digital activations, and targeted influencer campaigns.


The property’s growing popularity was evident in the response to its first app, Welcome to Wheelford, which has been downloaded more than 4 million times globally since its release in August 2019.

Toy World Magazine recently spoke to Katie Rollings, SVP UK Licensing, Hasbro about the company's upcoming plans for the Ricky Zoom brand: "The Ricky Zoom product rollout started earlier this year, in July, and so far, the sales data we're seeing is really strong, bolstered by the great broadcast across Milkshake! and Nick Jr.," said Rollings. "Our plan remains the same as it was the start of the year - a steady rollout, building out the categories as we head into 2021. Towards the end of this year, we'll start to see more on the softlines side, such as nightwear, and other categories will be unveiled from January onwards: publishing, daywear, puzzles and games, wheeled toys and more. We'll be working closely with retailers and licensees to drive those activations where it makes sense. We're pleased with the start Ricky has had; now we need to build on it."

Rollings also talked about the Peppa Pig brand, which came into the Hasbro fold following the toy company acquiring eOne. "With Peppa, it has alreadys been very much an always-on approach. She's always done well for us, and I'm sure she will continue to do so. We've identified new areas with room for growth which will be explored throughout the year, and we're already in discussions with may retailers for 2021 activation plans."

Hasbro also revealed that, now they have iconic eOne properties such as Peppa Pig, rather than burn bridges with the partnerships that eOne made for Peppa Pig prior to the brand, they'll continue to work with licensees, whilst also working on finding new gaps and opportunities in the marketplace to exploit.

For more information on Ricky Zoom, please visit the series website and get up to speed on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
