Sneak-Peek From Brand-New "The HALO Effect" Episode "FROGS," Premiering 8/12 On Nickelodeon USA
To celebrate Nickelodeon USA premiering the next brand-new episode of The HALO Effect, "FROGS,", honoring extraordinary teen Will Lourcey, who fights to end childhood hunger by providing meals to underprivileged kids in Fort Worth, Texas, on Friday 12th August 2016 at 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT), Nick USA has unveiled a super sneak peek preview from the all-new episode, which you can watch in the fantastic online streaming video clip here on Nick.com!
![]()
The brand-new The HALO Effect episode "FROGS" (#108) profiles 13-year-old Lourcey, whose organization, FROGS (Friends Reaching Our Goals), hosts monthly dinners for kids in his community. Airing monthly, The HALO Effect highlights teens who "help and lead others" (HALO) in their community and inspire others to do the same. "FROGS" will encore Monday, Aug. 15, at 8pm ET/PT on Nicktoons and Saturday, Aug. 20, at 9:30pm ET/PT on TeenNick.
Lourcey's interest in childhood hunger and community service began at age seven, when he realized some people in the Fort Worth area were going hungry and did not have access to healthy and affordable food. After volunteering at a local food bank, Lourcey and a group of friends founded FROGS, a kid-run organization that helps underprivileged kids in his community. Every month, FROGS works with the local Boys and Girls Club of Greater Fort Worth to host a kids-only dinner club which provides nutritious meals and teaches lessons about nutrition and eating healthy.
![]()
Over the past six years, FROGS has provided over 200,000 healthy meals for kids through the Tarrant Area Food Bank and FROGS Dinner Club, helped pack over 80,000 backpacks with food for hungry children through its Backpacks for Kids program, and helped serve over 10,000 families through the Mobile Food Pantry. Along with the monthly dinner club, Lourcey also runs numerous service projects and fundraisers, and speaks at local schools to inspire kids to give back to their community. In recognition of his commitment to end childhood hunger, Nickelodeon's The HALO Effect will award a $10,000 grant to Lourcey's organization.
In each episode of The HALO Effect, the profiled teen will issue a "HALO Effect Challenge," a call-to-action encouraging inspired viewers to participate in their cause and join the HALO movement. As part of Lourcey's "HALO Effect Challenge," he is encouraging everyone to donate canned fruits or vegetables to their local food bank and/or take a photo of their favorite healthy meal or snack using the hashtag #HALOEffectChallenge. For more information on Lourcey and his challenge, viewers can visit www.nick.com/haloeffect. and the organizations official website, WillLourceyFROGS.com!
The HALO Effect launched in 2013 as a year-round initiative recognizing one deserving teen every month for their work to help and lead others in their community. The initiative was built upon Nickelodeon's HALO Awards, an annual concert event honoring young community leaders with a grant for their organization and scholarship funds. To date, more than 50 teens across the country have been honored and have received more than $400,000 in grants to fund their non-profit organizations.
The HALO Effect series expands Nickelodeon’s ongoing commitment to the HALO movement by giving an in-depth look into the inspirational stories of teens who are eager to share the issues and projects important to them and excited to engage others to achieve impact. The monthly series is hosted by Sydney Park (Instant Mom) and executive produced by Nick Cannon and NCredible Entertainment, as well as Morgan Spurlock, Richard Arlook, Jeremy Chilnick, Matthew Galkin and Ethan Goldman of Warrior Poets.

The Creators Of "Doug", "Rugrats" And "The Ren & Stimpy Show" Discuss The Possibilities Of Rebooting Their Hit Shows | Nickelodeon Animation 25
Nickelodeon's three original Nicktoons - Doug, Rugrats, and The Ren & Stimpy Show - officially turn 25 on Thursday 11th August 2016!
![]()
To celebrate, Entertainment Weekly are kicking off a special Nicktoons week by not by looking back, but by looking ahead – to what may yet become of fan favorite titles.
Hot off the heels of the return of Hey Arnold!, there's a big question this nostalgia-crazed world wants to know: Could Doug, Rugrats, or The Ren & Stimpy Show receive the reboot treatment?
Vanessa Coffey, the former Nickelodeon executive who's largely credited as the inventor of Nicktoons, says yes. "Absolutely. We're talking 25 years later about these shows for a reason. And it's not because they were different, but because they were good. They are good. I'd love to see all three of them come back."
Here's what the show's creators say:
RUGRATS
Two of Rugrats' three creators (and only two because EW didn't have time to ask the third one) agree there's definitely a way to bring the baby adventures of Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Angelica back – although they differ on how.
Co-creator Paul Germain says it's a possibility, if Nickelodeon is so inclined. "It's completely up to them, but I think it could be interesting," he tells EW. The hitch here is Germain, who was largely the creative voice of Rugrats once it went to series, left after the original order of 65 episodes. "A lot of the direction that they took the show in after I left in 1993 – the second 65 episodes and then the All Grown Up series – I thought those episodes were poor. I thought they lost the spirit of it. I think the way to go [for a reboot] would be to take it back to where it was. I don't know if we could really do that, but that's what I would like to see. I think it’s possible."
Arlene Klasky, who co-created the show with Gabor Csupo and Germain but left showrunning to the latter, said a revival is something she and Csupo "think about, 100 percent." But Klasky and Germain would disagree on one of the first fundamental questions that would face Rugrats, just as it faces every reboot: whether the show should acknowledge the passing of time and, in the case of this show, how technology has seeped its way into child-rearing. (You know Dr. Lipschitz is all about those baby apps.)
"Life has changed 25 years later, so the technology has changed," says Klasky. "Kids' worlds have changed. Now kids are in kindergarten learning how to code. I mean, that's amazing. Imagine [the Rugrats] going to pre-school and they're coding and what could possibly come out of some kind of crazy thing they invented or did something viral. I think [a reboot] would need to mirror our time now. And it would be relevant with the fans, from what I hear. They like all the nostalgia. But I think at the heart of it, the core of this story is about these kids’ little souls and how they’re feeling. So I think if you have that, but skewed with all the technology and what the world is like now, all the pop culture and what’s current in psychology and raising kids, I think it can only be fun. It only gives us lots of stuff to work with."
Germain says he'd rather keep a Rugrats reboot as a time capsule. "One of the things I think might be fun would be to just make the show a retro '90s show," he says. "I think that'd be cool. Cell phones can be interesting, but technology has a funny way of making it very difficult to write around because people are always in constant communication with each other in a way that works against drama. It takes a really fun writers’ obstacle away and makes it too easy."
DOUG
In the case of unassuming tween Doug, the show's future is much like its main character: a possible, albeit wildly unrealistic, fantasy. The rights to Doug went over to Disney in 1996, and creator Jim Jinkins says the Mouse House isn't looking to re-bag this Neematoad.
"Disney owns the right to make anything new, and they have no interest right now in anything to do with it," says Jinkins, who's already one step ahead of reboot-happy fans: He's written a treatment and key scenes for a movie follow-up that would check in on what Doug's been up to all these years later.
For Jinkins, time has certainly passed, and Doug would be living in a New York City metropolis. "I haven't written the whole screenplay, but some stories are written," says Jinkins. "Skeeter's his roommate. Judy would be a performance artist off, off, off Broadway, just kind of doing weird stuff. Porkchop would be there - we're not going to talk about dogs and their real lifespans, but I'll just let him be." (Jinkins also revealed whether Doug ends up with Patti... but you'll have to check back on for that full story on Tuesday.)
But, as Jinkins stresses, the outlook is grim despite his best efforts. "Maybe if I wrote it like a book and put it out there, Disney would give me permission to do that," he says. "I keep qualifying it, I guess out of being a cock-eyed optimist, but right now they explained they're not interested in moving Doug forward. In the past, they have expressed interest in a play. Now, that would be a great play. So, I don't know! But I do think I have a great story for fans to get a feel for where Doug is headed, and I thought that would be an awesome thing to deliver."
THE REN & STIMPY SHOW
The final candidate for a reboot – and perhaps the one furthest from fruition – is The Ren & Stimpy Show, which infamously survived a troubled history with Nickelodeon almost from the start.
When the network first sought creator-driven shows to launch the Nicktoons block, Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi was one of the most clear in his creative vision for the debauched Dog-and-Cat comedy. But, as has been well-chronicled over the years, Kricfalusi and Nickelodeon had a messy parting of ways over the nature of the show. The de facto straw that broke the camel's back: the boundary-pushing, "unairable" episode "Man's Best Friend," which synced with Kricfalusi's departure from the network.
In 2003, Ren & Stimpy was revived on Spike/TNN as Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon, which purported to resurrect lost episodes and produce new ones, elevating the show to the adult territory it was always destined to inhabit. But that experiment lasted less than two months.
EW asked Kricfalusi whether Ren & Stimpy could ever return for a third go-round on TV, or a second run on Nickelodeon.
"Doesn't look like it," Kricfalusi says. "At least not without the creator of this creator-driven show."
It's Nicktoons week on EW.com, and they're celebrating the 25th anniversary of Nickelodeon's debut of Doug, Rugrats, and The Ren & Stimpy Show in a big way: With some exclusive intel on that outrageous orange splat of shows that helped define your childhood.

Do Doug and Patti end up together?! | Nickelodeon Animation 25
On Monday, Entertainment Weekly revealed all about the possibilities for rebooting Nickelodeon's three original Nicktoons series. Rugrats folks are in. Ren & Stimpy, not quite. And then there's Doug.
![]()
Both the character Doug and the eponymous series itself have always seemed to exist at the whims of other people - and as such, series creator Jim Jinkins says the show's current rights-holder, Disney, doesn't seem to have much interest in bringing Doug back for more Bluffington bliss.
But Jinkins certainly hopes Disney changes its mind, and he's fully prepared for when they do. Short of writing a full screenplay for a Doug follow-up, he's written assorted stories and scenes that would get viewers up to date with what Doug Funnie has been up to all these years later. "I've written the scene,"Jinkins tells EW, referring to one major moment that would answer the question Jinkins' is constantly asked - whether Doug and his lifelong crush, Patti Mayonnaise, end up together.
![]()
But first: The story of Doug has always been synonymous with the life of Jinkins, who conceived of the character in the early '80s as a cartoon alter ego. Many of the show's storylines came from Jinkins' own life, and that same logic now applies to the filmic follow-up Jinkins has begun writing. The setting: It's the eve of Doug's 10-year reunion, and Doug (much like Jinkins) is a freelance artist living in the big city, presumably still expanding the Quailman universe. Skeeter's his roommate, Judy's performing off Broadway, Porkchop's (inexplicably) alive... and then there's Patti.
What happened to the love of Doug's life? That's where Jinkins' tale about his surprise reconnection with the real Patti Mayonnaise comes in. If you want to know what happens to Doug, you must first find out what happened to Jim:
"It's my ten-year reunion, and I didn't go. I was in New York working like crazy as a freelancer and just trying to make it there. And I got a phone call in New York and it's Patti. The real Patti. And my heart's beating fast. She's like, 'I was at the reunion! You weren't!' and I was like, 'Yeah...sorry...I had to work.' And she goes, 'I found out you live in New York. Guess what-I do, too!' And she told me where she lives. We lived across Central Park from each other. And she says, 'Why don't you come over for dinner?'
So now we're in a Doug show. I'm like, what do I wear? What will she look like!? All that's happening as I'm walking across Central Park to her apartment, just wondering and just hoping, all those things. I was, at the time, very available.
I get to the door, and you get buzzed up in New York, and so I walk up to the apartment and I hear the lock turn-it's getting ready to happen-and she opens the door, and she's perfect. Just perfect. She just looks spectacular and she's so happy, and her arms fly up and we hug, and I'm just like [frightened guttural gasping noises]. She backs up and she goes 'Look, Jimmy! Boobs! I got my boobs!' [Laughs.] It sounds like I'm making this up, right? And I’m like, 'Yeah... yeah, uh huh!''Yeah, they always used to call me Flatty Patti, but look!' And she was just funny and fun and innocent, but it's like Doug and Patti together again, ten years later, right?
So this is all wonderful, right? And then she wheels and goes, 'Oh, Jimmy, I want you to meet my husband.'
And I don't even remember the rest of the evening."
There it is, friends: Doug Funnie and Patti Mayonnaise don't end up together. At least, not right now. It's not the romantic ending fans hoped for, sure, though that's because reality isn't a rom-com.
![]()
"It doesn't happen because, really, most people don't end up with their first love," says Jinkins, who calls the encounter an "amazing story" that still deserves to be a movie. "But then again, maybe I do do it! There isn't some rule! It's not in the Bible. It's just that most people don't. I don't know the answer yet. But I would predict that what I would do is make it where Patti is maybe not married, but in a serious relationship."
But oh, there's still one more twist to be had, and it's classically, characteristically Doug.
"Meanwhile, Doug has this friend of his, a girl, who he's always pouring his heart out to about how [Patti's] killing him," Jinkins continues. "And naturally, I guess maybe it's a little predictable, but that's the one. That's the one he’s comfortable enough to bear his soul to in his next phase of life, that he discovers he's in love with and didn't even know it. My guess is that it would be something like that."
Sorry guys.
There are sadly no plans for a Doug reboot at the moment, but Jinkins has his future story lines ready to go if it ever happens. Let's keep our fingers crossed in the meantime.
It's Nicktoons week on EW.com, and they're celebrating the 25th anniversary of Nickelodeon's debut of Doug, Rugrats, and The Ren & Stimpy Show in a big way: With some exclusive intel on that outrageous orange splat of shows that helped define your childhood.

Sky Academy Arts Scholarship Winner Yinka Ayinde Remoulding Kenan & Kel For The Stage
Awww, here it goes! Sky Academy Arts Scholarship winner Yinka Ayinde is remoulding Nickelodeon's hit '90s live-action original comedy series Kenan & Kel for the stage, which will feature a 21st-century London setting, and in a special interview with Zoe Paskett, he talks to the Hampstead Highgate Express about bringing Kenan & Kel back to cater to overlooked audiences!
![]()
Breaking into the arts industry is notoriously tough. Nepotism aside, big breaks are rare and for many it takes years of hard graft with little reward to achieve some level of influence.
As tuition fees are being relentlessly increased over time, more and more young people are missing out on opportunities to enter into their desired fields.
"There are vast numbers of amazingly creative people that are out there with the potential to create the future classics but who can’t afford to," says Yinka.

Nickelodeon's Kenan & Kel
"Funding can mean the difference between pursuing your talent and your dream and giving up because you're not sure how much longer you can cope."
Yinka was recently announced as one of the winners of the Sky Academy Arts Scholarship.
The scholarship supports five emerging artists in the UK and Ireland every year by providing mentoring and financial support to allow winners to continue to pursue their craft.
Yinka, a 25-year-old creative producer who grew up in the Wendling Estate in Kentish Town, is remoulding cult classic TV show Kenan & Kel into a three-episode stage production.
Each episode will have a two week run with three weeks of rehearsal in between.
"I want to create the ultimate environment for nineties nostalgia before and after the show. It will be an extremely fun night out with theatre at the heart of it."
Yinka entered the entertainment world as a radio presenter and producer while studying at the University of Bedford. Attracting a large audience, he and his co-host began to present variety events, music nights and game shows.
Yinka cites the emergence of Afrobeats music in 2012 into mainstream UK popular culture as his push into the arts. "This was really exciting for me and many others because it was what I grew up with.
"Not only did we understand this sudden popular culture, we were that culture."
He wanted to make a contribution to the movement, noticing that "there was nothing that represented the modern day sound, dance and popularity of African culture", and created Oliva Tweest: An Afrobeats Musical as a result.
"I stepped into this industry with blissful ignorance which actually played in my favour.
"I had the confidence to just call up a West End venue and ask to hire it out for a night.
"I put on 'Oliva Tweest' at The Lyric Theatre in the West End and had a sold out show on a marketing budget of £90!"
Yinka targets audiences that, like himself, aren't adequately represented.
75 per cent of his audiences are under 30 and 80 per cent are of BAME backgrounds.
"I don't believe they are catered for and when they are it's never the main show, it's never for a run in one of the top theatres and it would usually be an amateur production.
"Theatres don't reach out to them effectively or make it attractive for them to feel invited."
The past few years have been hard, but Yinka believes that he has what it takes to make it in the world of theatre.
"Ever since I started out it has been an upward struggle," he says.
"I applied for the scholarship three years ago and never even made the long list.
"But I feel now was the right time as I’ve gained more experience, become more credible in my work and grown as an artist."
Receiving the Sky Academy Arts Scholarship award, Ayinde said: "When I found out I won I was laughing with happiness for about an hour... I grew up being a crazy fan of Kenan & Kel and I even still watch the episodes now. I'm looking forward to exploring my creativity to re-imagine it within a British setting and I know it'll inspire a whole new audience to attend theatre."

The other winners of the 2016 Sky Academy Arts Scholarship are classical sitarist and composer Jasdeep Singh Degun, theatre director Caitlin McLeod, filmmaker Sarah Grant and visual artist Gearoid O'Dea. Congratulations to all the winners of this years Sky Academy Arts Scholarship!

Nostalgic for the '90s? Check out these items inspired by Nicktoons! | Nickelodeon Animation 25
With its new Nickelodeon-themed concept, the West Chelsea boutique Story is taking its schtick on the road through tie-ins with Neiman Marcus' web site and California retailer Ron Robinson, reports the LA Times.
![]()
The independent downtown store, which reinvents itself every few months, is now presenting a Nineties-inspired "Remember When" experience that highlights hit '90s Nickelodeon shows such as Rugrats, SpongeBob SquarePants and The Ren & Stimpy Show. Running through Sept. 18, the set-up in the New York store features more than 25 brands, including Story's own private label. More unexpected finds are a stonewashed Gap denim jacket and a SpongeBob Rolex watch customized by Bamford Watch Department.

In New York, "Remember When" shoppers will find such kitschy experiences as a Foxtales-designed selfie station that visitors can use to get digitally slimed and a Double Dare hamster wheel to test their speed. Fans of the number one network for kids can also check out interviews with show creators and characters through a Perch-enabled display. Story's retro concept is to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Nickelodeon Animation. Pam Kaufman, Chief Marketing Officer and President of Consumer Products at Nickelodeon, said Millennials, the generation that grew up watching the channel, have made it known via Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and other social media outlets that they miss the Nineties.

Story founder Rachel Shechtman dreamed up a 1991 flashback feeling by setting up a homeroom complete with desks and a podium and dividing the store into class clubs. Homeroom features a mash-up of Nineties characters - Besties consists of Nickelodeon's better-known tag teams; Double Dare was inspired by the Nineties game show of the same name; City Kids is made up of Hey Arnold!-inspired items, and Yearbookers is comprised of nostalgic selections such as Sugarfina Slime green apple candy. The letter from the editor, which frequent shoppers at Story have grown to look for, is written like a valedictorian speech. Illustrator Charlotte Fassler flew in from her home in Marfa, Tex., to draw portraits of some favorite characters on the Story wall. Shechtman estimated that 20 to 30 percent of the offerings are apparel.

To help further the event's reach, Ron Robinson will launch a limited run of "Remember When" merchandise from 18 brands in a concept shop in its Santa Monica store starting Aug. 18. The Neiman Marcus web site will feature dozens of styles from 14 brands featured in the "Remember When" selections starting Aug. 23. This will be the first time Story has branched out from its own location at 144 10th Avenue.

Neiman Marcus President and Chief Merchandising Officer Jim Gold said, "We thought it would be really fun to show our clients things that they probably hadn't seen before - unless you have the opportunity to get to Chelsea to one little store that's doing really fun, creative, interesting things. We thought it would be novel to bring that to the Neiman Marcus client. At the same time, there are things Neiman Marcus can do that can help Rachel [Shechtman] get exposure to for her company."

Distributed in 175 countries, Nickelodeon has a built-in base of fans, from which all of the "Remember When" parties stand to benefit. Kaufman's favorites include the Jeremy Scott selection (which includes a leather jacket and boots). "He's the ultimate Nick kid. He grew up on Nickelodeon and has probably done one of the best jobs of reinterpreting Nickelodeon characters. I love his 'Ren and Stimpy' collection," Kaufman said, adding that the company hopes to work with him again.

She declined to reveal annual sales for the consumer products division that she oversees. In terms of myriad products that it has licensed, she recalled how in years past, Nickelodeon licensed a SpongeBob SquarePants thong and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mud flaps for trucks. With select freestanding Nickelodeon stores in locales such as London's Leicester Square and Panama, the company plans to open another in Dubai. "There isn't a set number of Nickelodeon stores that will open. ... It's not a huge business goal. It's more of a brand statement," she said.
Through a deal with Universal, Nickelodeon has a theme park in the Mall of America, which is one of the world's largest indoor theme parks. Other worldwide locations are in the works with a variety of other partners, Kaufman said. And a Nickelodeon luxury hotel recently opened in the Dominican Republic. "It's really about Nickelodeon's footprint going where the consumer is."
From STORY:
Our New STORY Is: Remember When
Remember When…Life was easy like Saturday morning cartoons? When we dropped “Whatever” into conversation, tried to be kind and press rewind, and save up our allowance for our favorite beanie babies and pogs? Like totally, for sure, times have changed and memories get fuzzy like our favorite B.U.M. Equipment sweatshirt. So we’re dialing it back to the dial-up days and embracing 90s nostalgia with #RememberWhenSTORY.
In celebration of Nickelodeon’s 25th Birthday and their late night programing, The Splat, we’ve teamed up to bring the ’90s back to life, back to reality August 5 – September 18. It’s a nod to the decade that brought us Rugrats, SpongeBob, Rocko's Modern Life, and more of our favorite animated pals.
From how we played to the decade’s fashion trends, to the iconic toys and snacks of Saturday mornings past, duh this decade was memorable. “Remember When” takes visitors back to it through the lens of a yearbook, dividing the shop into themed clubs that highlight fan-favorite Nickelodeon shows and other elements of ‘90s culture. To bring the characters to life offline, we teamed up with illustrator Charlotte Fassler to take over the STORY wall with portraits of some of our favorite cartoon friends.
The experience is centered around five clubs. HOMEROOM, where it all starts, is where you’ll find a mashup of beloved ’90s characters and inspired prints by Print All Over Me. BESTIES remembers Nick’s iconic duos (channeling CatDog). DOUBLE DARE is inspired by Nick’s game show (and all things slime), where you’ll have a chance to run the human hamster wheel. CITY KIDS features Hey Arnold!-inspired pieces that play to the home crowd. And YEARBOOKERS showcases some ’90s superlatives–from your favorite candy to must-have nostalgic pics.
Throughout these sections, we’ve teamed up with over 25 brands on rad items that celebrate the spirit of ‘90s Nickelodeon. From a pair of Double Dare-inspired Keds to a stonewash denim jacket by The Gap, to Rolex watches customized by Bamford Watch Department, to iconic ’90s lipsticks by Smashbox, to statement pieces from Rockets of Awesome, to Ren & Stimpy-inspired threads by Jeremy Scott, we’re chock full of exclusive items that throw it back.
Feeling left out, all you West-Coasters? Take a chill pill. The #RememberWhenSTORY experience is transcending its East Coast space for the first time (!) to team up with Los Angeles-based retailer Ron Robinson and NeimanMarcus.com, giving consumers the opportunity to feel all the ’90s feels too. (You can read more about that here).
So get down with the get down, dial it back, and join us for an experience that promises to be too cool for school.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--STORY, New York’s ever-changing concept store, unveils “Remember When,” an immersive retro experience that celebrates Nickelodeon’s iconic shows and memorable characters from the ‘90s, timed to the 25th anniversary of Nickelodeon animation. Open August 5 - September 18, “Remember When” is the 31st installation for STORY and takes a nostalgic look back at the decade that gave birth to the Rugrats, dial-up Internet and leggings as pants. To bring the ‘90s “back to life, back to reality,” STORY has teamed up with over 25 brands on items that celebrate the spirit of ‘90s Nickelodeon--from a pair of Double Dare-inspired Keds and a stonewash denim jacket by Gap, to Rolex watches customized by Bamford Watch Department.
“Remember When” takes visitors back to the future through the lens of a yearbook, set against a backdrop that features portraits of beloved ‘90s Nick characters reimagined by New York illustrator Charlotte Fassler on the STORY wall. The experience is centered on five clubs that highlight fan-favorite Nickelodeon shows and other elements of ‘90s culture:
*HOMEROOM: Where it all starts. Celebrate the legacy of Nickelodeon through products that feature a mash-up of beloved ‘90s characters and give back with brands like State Bags and Out of Print.
*BESTIES: Remembering Nickelodeon’s iconic duos.
*DOUBLE DARE: Hit prints and patterns from Crshr and Boardies inspired by Nickelodeon’s ultimate ‘90s game show Double Dare and iconic green Slime.
*CITY KIDS:Hey Arnold!-inspired pieces that play to the home crowd.
*YEARBOOKERS: The '90s were all that, from your favorite candy to must-have nostalgic picks.
“Consumer demand for '90s Nickelodeon is off the charts and we are excited to introduce an exclusive new line of products based on our most popular shows to celebrate this iconic chapter of our history,” said Pam Kaufman, Chief Marketing Officer and President, Consumer Products, Nickelodeon. “We think STORY is the perfect partner to kick off our new consumer products program and Nickelodeon fans are really going to love it.”
STORY will extend the “Remember When” experience outside its walls for the first time through additional brick-and-mortar and online retail partnerships with Los Angeles-based retailer RON ROBINSON and NeimanMarcus.com, giving consumers outside of New York the opportunity to join the fun. From August 18 to September 18, RON ROBINSON will host a STORY “Remember When”-themed shop-in-shop in its Santa Monica store and feature an edited selection of the limited-edition product.
“The nostalgia that this collaboration with Nickelodeon evokes is energizing. I told my staff about this project and they, each one, went into their list of which characters and shows they were fond of. It's been exhilarating for me to work together with Rachel and her team at STORY, they are true masters!!! Our teams have worked seamlessly together. I am looking forward to the celebration at RON ROBINSON on August 18," shares Ron Robinson, Founder & CEO, RON ROBINSON.
Neiman Marcus will highlight key collaborations with an online extension of “Remember When” on their website, NeimanMarcus.com, for a limited time starting August 24 through September 18. This marks the first time STORY’s themed concepts will be available online and also serves as a first for many of the brands to have their items sold at Neiman Marcus.
“We are thrilled to partner with Rachel and her great team to bring STORY to Neiman Marcus. We love her innovative approach to product, marketing and the customer experience, and believe that we can collaborate in a very exciting way to showcase the unexpected for our clients--starting with an introduction of her ‘90s icon story on our website,” said Jim Gold, President, Chief Merchandising Officer, Neiman Marcus.
Those in New York will be able to enjoy the full flashback force of the partnership through a series of playful in-store experiences. Double Dare fans can step up to the podium for photo opportunities and the most daring will be able to take a physical challenge on the hamster wheel from the original obstacle course. A display designed by Perch Interactive will showcase behind-the-scenes interviews with many of the creators of Nickelodeon’s animated series, while an in-store selfie station will give visitors an opportunity to get digitally Slimed through a custom interactive photo experience designed by Foxtales. Finally, Time Travel Radio, created by Jamie Carreiro, a Creative and Tech Director at PARTY NYC, has curated the top hit songs from 1990-1999, so fans can relive the decade via music.
Exclusive collaborations for “Remember When” include:
*Bamford Watch Department Rolex: To create the ultimate throwback timepiece, Bamford Watch Department has turned three Rolex watches into limited-edition collector’s pieces with three distinct faces inspired by Double Dare (Slime), an all-over Nickelodeon animation print, and SpongeBob SquarePants.

*Denik: With every product sold from this collection of custom journals, a portion of the proceeds goes directly to building schools and to support the artist.

The independent downtown store, which reinvents itself every few months, is now presenting a Nineties-inspired "Remember When" experience that highlights hit '90s Nickelodeon shows such as Rugrats, SpongeBob SquarePants and The Ren & Stimpy Show. Running through Sept. 18, the set-up in the New York store features more than 25 brands, including Story's own private label. More unexpected finds are a stonewashed Gap denim jacket and a SpongeBob Rolex watch customized by Bamford Watch Department.

In New York, "Remember When" shoppers will find such kitschy experiences as a Foxtales-designed selfie station that visitors can use to get digitally slimed and a Double Dare hamster wheel to test their speed. Fans of the number one network for kids can also check out interviews with show creators and characters through a Perch-enabled display. Story's retro concept is to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Nickelodeon Animation. Pam Kaufman, Chief Marketing Officer and President of Consumer Products at Nickelodeon, said Millennials, the generation that grew up watching the channel, have made it known via Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and other social media outlets that they miss the Nineties.
Story founder Rachel Shechtman dreamed up a 1991 flashback feeling by setting up a homeroom complete with desks and a podium and dividing the store into class clubs. Homeroom features a mash-up of Nineties characters - Besties consists of Nickelodeon's better-known tag teams; Double Dare was inspired by the Nineties game show of the same name; City Kids is made up of Hey Arnold!-inspired items, and Yearbookers is comprised of nostalgic selections such as Sugarfina Slime green apple candy. The letter from the editor, which frequent shoppers at Story have grown to look for, is written like a valedictorian speech. Illustrator Charlotte Fassler flew in from her home in Marfa, Tex., to draw portraits of some favorite characters on the Story wall. Shechtman estimated that 20 to 30 percent of the offerings are apparel.
To help further the event's reach, Ron Robinson will launch a limited run of "Remember When" merchandise from 18 brands in a concept shop in its Santa Monica store starting Aug. 18. The Neiman Marcus web site will feature dozens of styles from 14 brands featured in the "Remember When" selections starting Aug. 23. This will be the first time Story has branched out from its own location at 144 10th Avenue.
Neiman Marcus President and Chief Merchandising Officer Jim Gold said, "We thought it would be really fun to show our clients things that they probably hadn't seen before - unless you have the opportunity to get to Chelsea to one little store that's doing really fun, creative, interesting things. We thought it would be novel to bring that to the Neiman Marcus client. At the same time, there are things Neiman Marcus can do that can help Rachel [Shechtman] get exposure to for her company."
Distributed in 175 countries, Nickelodeon has a built-in base of fans, from which all of the "Remember When" parties stand to benefit. Kaufman's favorites include the Jeremy Scott selection (which includes a leather jacket and boots). "He's the ultimate Nick kid. He grew up on Nickelodeon and has probably done one of the best jobs of reinterpreting Nickelodeon characters. I love his 'Ren and Stimpy' collection," Kaufman said, adding that the company hopes to work with him again.
She declined to reveal annual sales for the consumer products division that she oversees. In terms of myriad products that it has licensed, she recalled how in years past, Nickelodeon licensed a SpongeBob SquarePants thong and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mud flaps for trucks. With select freestanding Nickelodeon stores in locales such as London's Leicester Square and Panama, the company plans to open another in Dubai. "There isn't a set number of Nickelodeon stores that will open. ... It's not a huge business goal. It's more of a brand statement," she said.
Through a deal with Universal, Nickelodeon has a theme park in the Mall of America, which is one of the world's largest indoor theme parks. Other worldwide locations are in the works with a variety of other partners, Kaufman said. And a Nickelodeon luxury hotel recently opened in the Dominican Republic. "It's really about Nickelodeon's footprint going where the consumer is."
From STORY:
Our New STORY Is: Remember When
Remember When…Life was easy like Saturday morning cartoons? When we dropped “Whatever” into conversation, tried to be kind and press rewind, and save up our allowance for our favorite beanie babies and pogs? Like totally, for sure, times have changed and memories get fuzzy like our favorite B.U.M. Equipment sweatshirt. So we’re dialing it back to the dial-up days and embracing 90s nostalgia with #RememberWhenSTORY.
In celebration of Nickelodeon’s 25th Birthday and their late night programing, The Splat, we’ve teamed up to bring the ’90s back to life, back to reality August 5 – September 18. It’s a nod to the decade that brought us Rugrats, SpongeBob, Rocko's Modern Life, and more of our favorite animated pals.
From how we played to the decade’s fashion trends, to the iconic toys and snacks of Saturday mornings past, duh this decade was memorable. “Remember When” takes visitors back to it through the lens of a yearbook, dividing the shop into themed clubs that highlight fan-favorite Nickelodeon shows and other elements of ‘90s culture. To bring the characters to life offline, we teamed up with illustrator Charlotte Fassler to take over the STORY wall with portraits of some of our favorite cartoon friends.
The experience is centered around five clubs. HOMEROOM, where it all starts, is where you’ll find a mashup of beloved ’90s characters and inspired prints by Print All Over Me. BESTIES remembers Nick’s iconic duos (channeling CatDog). DOUBLE DARE is inspired by Nick’s game show (and all things slime), where you’ll have a chance to run the human hamster wheel. CITY KIDS features Hey Arnold!-inspired pieces that play to the home crowd. And YEARBOOKERS showcases some ’90s superlatives–from your favorite candy to must-have nostalgic pics.
Throughout these sections, we’ve teamed up with over 25 brands on rad items that celebrate the spirit of ‘90s Nickelodeon. From a pair of Double Dare-inspired Keds to a stonewash denim jacket by The Gap, to Rolex watches customized by Bamford Watch Department, to iconic ’90s lipsticks by Smashbox, to statement pieces from Rockets of Awesome, to Ren & Stimpy-inspired threads by Jeremy Scott, we’re chock full of exclusive items that throw it back.
Feeling left out, all you West-Coasters? Take a chill pill. The #RememberWhenSTORY experience is transcending its East Coast space for the first time (!) to team up with Los Angeles-based retailer Ron Robinson and NeimanMarcus.com, giving consumers the opportunity to feel all the ’90s feels too. (You can read more about that here).
So get down with the get down, dial it back, and join us for an experience that promises to be too cool for school.
