The Power Rangers Help Give Young Cancer Patient A Toys 'R' Us Shopping Spree

The Power Rangers are always up for saving the world, but they also have the power to bring joy to fans, and they did just that with a young fan named Grayson!

Grayson Dodd is 3 years old and sadly is dealing with AML Leukemia. A charity called the Foundation for Strength decided to make his day by teaming up with the Westland Toys 'R' Us and the Power Rangers to give him a shopping spree, allowing Grayson to shop in the store before it opened up for business!

You can view a photo of Grayson with his parents Kevin and April, the Power Rangers, and Geoffrey the Giraffe.

According to Foundation for Strength's Cory Allen though, Grayson was so enamored with the Power Rangers, who are his favorite heroes, by the way, that shopping wasn't even a priority.

"Grayson had so much fun with the Power Rangers that he wasn't even concerned with shopping for toys. He was finally back to being a fun lovely kid again, playing tag, battle swords and hide and seek with the Rangers. His dad mentioned that this was the first time he has seen Grayson with this much joy in over a month."

It was a welcome reprieve for Grayson, giving him a memory he will never forget. He had a full cart overflowing with toys by the end of it, including a new bicycle, which he can ride after he gets out of the hospital, where's he's undergoing chemotherapy.

Foundation for Strength seeks to help those who are battling cancer and diseases like it, giving people like Grayson reasons to smile and hope. They'll be holding several events to help raise money and awareness,

The Foundation for Strength mission is to raise social consciousness and donate funds to those who are battling cancer or other life-threatening diseases. Several fundraising events will be held annually to provide financial assistance to those in need. The group also aims to raise social consciousness by speaking out about those we have lost and those who are battling cancer. For more about the Foundation for Strength, a 501(c)(3) charity, you can head to their official website, FoundationForStrength.org.

Grayson's shopping spree took place just a day before he had to go back into the hospital for an extended stay of chemotherapy treatments.

Kappa Mikey | Unseen Pilot For MTV

Before landing on Nicktoons Network, Kappa Mikey was initially pitched to Nickelodeon's sister network, MTV. A pitch pilot episode was made for MTV, before the series was picked up by Nicktoons Network. The pilot for Kappa Mikey has never been publicly seen.. until now! Sergei Aniskov, the director of Kappa Mikey, released a rough cut version of the pilot, featuring temporary voiceovers and music, on his official YouTube channel! Check it out below!: (Please note, as the pilot was made for MTV, the content in the video is a bit more mature than in Nickelodeon's version of the show.)



I remember I spent a few nights sleeping in the studio putting it all together. It was worth it though. )))

Kappa Mikey follows nineteen-year-old actor Mikey Simon, Japan's biggest anime star. After the Ohio native wins a contest to star in Japan's once-popular TV show, LilyMu, Mikey takes Japan by storm, and the show shoots back to the top of the ratings. But Mikey is still a fish out of water in Japan, and his off-screen antics reflect that fact.

Created by Larry Schwarz, Kappa Mikey was Nicktoons Network's first original half-hour series, bought during the same period as other Animation Collective series such as Three Delivery and Speed Racer: The Next Generation, and is the first anime to be produced entirely in the United States. The series is a homage/parody of Japanese anime.

Kappa Mikey ran for 52 episodes over two seasons between February 25, 2006 and September 20, 2008.

Schwarz conceived the series in 2000, when he was running Rumpus toys, a toy design company in New York City, but they folded before any storyboarding could commence. They resurfaced years later as Animation Collective, and produced an early test pilot for a pitch to MTV Networks, where the character designs and backgrounds resembled more like those found in Adult Swim series Perfect Hair Forever, and the humor was also more adult-oriented. Much of the current cast was voicing their characters even this early in production. MTV declined the deal, and Nickelodeon eventually picked up the project. The series was tweaked heavily in order to be aimed at a younger audience. Voice talents were usually local, and its audio was recorded at Manhattan-based NYAV Post, which Michael Sinterniklaas owns. The series was animated in Adobe Flash, with some moments of CGI rendered in Maya. The show's title is a play on the word kappamaki, a type of sushi.

Maya Le Clark's Audition Tape For "The Thundermans"

In honor of the cast and crew filming the final episode of The Thundermans on Friday 28th August 2017, actor Maya Le Clark, who portrays Chloe Thunderman, the youngest member of the Thunderfam, has unveiled the fantastic audition tape she filmed to get the role of 'Chloe' on Nickelodeon's hit comedy series on her official Instagram profile page, @mayaleclark! Check out Maya's adorable video below!:

On March 12, 2015 we were asked to create an audition tape for this cool show called the Thundermans. It was perfect for our family: sweet and silly all at the same time, and we love weird. Who would have thought that this tape would take us on an almost 2.5 year journey with some of the best people?! Today that journey ends here at Paramount. It was one we will never, ever forget! We are grateful for every single person on this team. Be prepared to see a lot more posts from all us as we type through tears! Thank you @nickelodeon! And thank you to @baby_kid_onsetwranglers who truly taught Maya about acting. Thank you to the cast, we know it was a challenge to take on a little kid after two years @jackgriffo @therosablasi @mrchristallman @kirakosarin @addisonriecke @diegovelazquezj

Portion Of Nickelodeon Universe At Mall Of America Reopens After Evacuation

A portion of Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America that was evacuated on Friday morning has now been reopened.


A bomb-sniffing dog identified what Bloomington Police said was the souvenir penny-pressing machine in the theme park area around 11:30 a.m. as suspicious. The machine was investigated and the incident was cleared, with mall-goers being allowed back in the area at about noon.

“Mall of America employs several industry-leading security measures on a day-to-day basis in an effort to keep our building safe and secure,” the mall said in a statement. “One such measure is to inspect all elements within our property by implementing routine security procedures. Mall of America remains committed to providing a safe environment for our guests, tenants and team members.”

The mall issued a full statement:

"A portion of Nickelodeon Universe closed for a short period of time today during a standard security procedure. All areas of Nickelodeon Universe are back in operation and open to guests.

Mall of America employs several industry-leading security measures on a day-to-day basis in an effort to keep our building safe and secure. One such measure is to inspect all elements within our property by implementing routine security procedures. Mall of America remains committed to providing a safe environment for our guests, tenants and team members."

The news follows the Mall of America temporarily closing Nickelodeon Universe's popular Shredder’s Mutant Masher Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles amusement ride pending further safety inspection in the wake of a fatal accident involving a similar ride in Ohio this week. All other rides remain open.
