Nickelodeon Greece Acquires Rights To "The Deep" Season Two

Original DHX Media Press Release via DHXMedia.com:

DHX MEDIA, TECHNICOLOR AND A STARK PRODUCTION ANNOUNCE MORE NEW BROADCAST DEALS FOR SEASON TWO OF THE DEEP


New episodes of the award-winning CG-animated series set to launch this summer and fall



Halifax, NS – 3 August 2017 – DHX Media (or the “Company”) (TSX: DHX.A, DHX.B; NASDAQ: DHXM), Technicolor, and A Stark Production announce several new international broadcast deals for the CG-animated underwater adventure series, The Deep.

Newly signed deals for season two’s 13 half-hour episodes include: Universal Kids (U.S.), Nickelodeon (Greece), NRK Super (Norway), YLE (Finland), POP (Italy), Biggs (Portugal), RTBF’s OUFtivi (Belgium), MBC3 (Middle East), Minimax (CEE), KidZone TV (Baltics), Multimania (Russia), Hop! (Israel), SVT (Sweden), TSR (Switzerland), SRC (French Canada), and Zap (Angola and Mozambique). These add to a roster of previously announced deals, which includes: Australia’s ABC ME, CBBC in the U.K., Netflix in the U.S., Germany’s Super RTL and Canada’s Family CHRGD.

Season two’s much anticipated new episodes will debut on Australia’s ABC ME daily from August 22, and started rolling out weekly in July on the UK’s CBBC in their popular Faves at Five Slot.


“A commitment to a second season of The Deep from so many international broadcasters is testament to the show’s massive popularity with kids and families, worldwide,” said Josh Scherba, EVP Distribution and Content at DHX Media. “The Deep is fun, fresh and full of excitement, and we’re extremely pleased with the results of this collaboration with Technicolor and A Stark Production.”

Since its debut, The Deep has proven to be a top-rated show that resonates with kids around the world. It has garnered international industry nominations and awards, including the 2017 Kidscreen Award for Best New Series (Kids Category) and most recently, the Golden Sparrow Award at the German Children’s Media Festival. The series has also been nominated for the 50th Annual AWGIE Awards in Australia for Children’s Television (5-14 years old).

The Deep is a co-production between Australia-based A Stark Production (scripts, design and music) and Canada-based DHX Media (animation, voices and post-production), with distribution also handled by DHX Media. Technicolor, underlying rights holder to The Deep, has oversight of the brand’s licensing extensions, with CPLG, a DHX Media company and one of the world’s leading licensing agencies, serving as the multi-territory licensing agent for the brand, including North America, EMEA (excluding Germany) and Latin America.

The Deep follows the adventures of the Nekton family—a brilliant team of underwater explorers. With state-of-the-art technology and an unquenchable thirst for discovery, the Nektons explore the mysterious depths of the ocean, where most of our world lies unexplored and unexplained. While others look up to the stars, this family knows that an infinite number of things shine brightly in the darkness below. The Deep is a place where leviathans swim through sunken cities, where pirates lurk amidst floating black markets, and where a mysterious group of Guardians hide long lost secrets.

In season two, the Nekton family’s search for the lost city of Lemuria becomes urgent, as its legendary power is the only thing that can stop the colossal, dangerous creatures known as Monumentials from waking up—and a young new rival wants that power for himself!

The series is based on the Aurealis Award-winning graphic novel series created by multi-award-winning best-selling comic book author and playwright Tom Taylor (All-New Wolverine, Earth 2, Superior Iron Man, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Star Wars: Blood Ties), illustrated by James Brouwer (Justice League Beyond), and published by Gestalt Comics. Taylor serves as co-creator and lead writer of the series and Brouwer serves as co-creator and art director.

Nickelodeon India Celebrates 'Surakshabandhan' With Border Security Force

India’s elite Border Security Force (BSF) at the International Attari– Wagha Border received a pleasant surprise from kids and their favorite toons Dora the Explorer and Shiva from India’s leading kid’s entertainment franchise, Nickelodeon! The force, which spends the entire year away from their families protecting the nation’s over 7000 kilometers land border, had the kids along with the toons pay them a special visit to celebrate the auspicious occasion of Rakshabandhan in its true essence of “Surakshabandhan”!


Festivity was at full display as children along with the cartoon stars tied the symbolic Rakhi to the soldiers as prelude to iconic retreat ceremony, thus saluting their bravery, selflessness and relentless commitment to the country.

Rakshabandhan is one of the most celebrated festivals in the Indian sub-continent, marked to celebrate and express gratitude to the guardians of the family.

Bringing alive the true spirit of rakshabandhan, Nickelodeon this year curated ‘Surakshabandhan’, a unique initiative celebrating the bravest heroes of the nation who guard the borders to ensure safety and security of each and every citizen. As part of this initiative children, along with the Nicktoons, infused energy at the border with their lively presence as they celebrated Rakshabandhan by tying Rakhi’s on the fists of the soldiers. Adding to this, the children also joined Dora and Shiva to participate in the dance ceremony prior to the retreat. Through this landmark initiative, Nickelodeon has set out to create awareness amongst children and the youth about the forces like the Border Security Forces and their contribution in helping the nation achieve its dreams while leading a safe and secure life with their families.

The BSF officials were overwhelmed to witness children visiting them along with their favorite toons Dora and Shiva for a special celebration. Addressing the initiative by Nickelodeon, Mr. JS Oberoi, Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Amritsar said “We are extremely delighted with the thoughtful initiative that Nickelodeon has taken with Surakshabandhan. Our soldiers miss out on spending time with their friends and families on festivals, Rakshabandhan being one. Having children take time out and celebrate the festival of rakshabandhan with us has definitely been a heart-warming experience for all our soldier who have now been gifted some beautiful memories that they will cherish this rakshabandhan. It is for the safe and secure future of these children that we continue to tirelessly guard our borders. Being respected and acknowledged by children who are the future of this country will surely add to our fervor of serving the nation and its people.”


Commenting on the association of celebrating Surakshabandhan, Nina Elavia Jaipuria, Business head – Kids Entertainmet Cluster, Viacom18 said “Nickelodeon has always nurtured and inculcated the right values amongst kids through its shows and initiatives. Through this unique and poignant initiative with the Border Security Forces, we have endeavored to introduce children to real life superheroes who guard our borders, while also thanking them for the unwavering commitment and bravery towards the nation.”

The event touched the hearts of each, and every soldier at the border eagerly participated in the celebrations. It was an eye-opener for the kids who drew inspiration from the true heroes of the country and realized their roles behind all wellbeing of the citizens of India. Nickelodeon will continue spreading the awareness of ‘Suraksha’ in everybody's lives this Rakshabandhan by celebrating and saluting more such protectors and thanking them for making everyone's lives safe and secure.

Nickelodeon is India’s leading kids’ entertainment brand and part of the Viacom18 Media Pvt. Ltd. The channel is available in over 100 million households in the country.

Nickelodeon Asia Announces Anti-Bullying Digital Campaign In Malaysia With A Series Of Public Service Announcements

Update (Tuesday 8th August 2017): Below is Nickelodeon Asia's official Press Release announcing the news, via Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Asia's official Pressroom:

NICKELODEON ANNOUNCES ANTI-BULLYING DIGITAL CAMPAIGN IN MALAYSIA WITH A SERIES OF PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS


Pro-Social Efforts Support Malaysia’s Talian Kasih: 15999



MALAYSIA, 4 August 2017 — Nickelodeon today announced Nickelodeon's Together For Good anti-bullying campaign, in support of UNICEF Malaysia’s on-going efforts towards anti-bullying. Nickelodeon’s animated series of public service announcements (PSAs) will run on Nickelodeon Asia’s Facebook page, with the release of a new PSA each week over the next three weeks. The campaign will be amplified through Astro’s and UNICEF Malaysia’s social platforms.


Nickelodeon’s Together For Good is an initiative to empower kids to make positive changes in the world around them and the slogan of Together For Good in anti-bullying is simple: "It's not OK. Say Something.". The approach is to educate children about the different kinds of bullying and to propose methods of stopping it, which includes a call-to-action to contact Malaysia’s Talian Kasih (care hotline): 15999. Through the PSAs about the fictional stories of kids who have been bullied and their response to it, Nickelodeon is targeting to reach children who may have been experiencing the same kinds of bullying as featured in the PSAs, such as cyber-bullying, discrimination, a girl’s bullying experience and a boy’s bullying experience. The popular kids’ entertainment brand hopes to encourage young Malaysians to speak out against bullying by talking to a parent, a teacher or an adult they can trust.


“Engaging audiences through our pro-social initiatives is a commitment we do not take lightly. As an entertainment company, we believe we have the responsibility to engage our fans in Malaysia, in whatever part we can play. We want to create awareness against anti-bullying. Bullying is not ok and kids need to learn to speak against it. Through this digital campaign, we hope to educate our young fans that if they or their friends are being bullied, they can tell someone about it and learn more. And they can help prevent it,” said Syahrizan Mansor, Vice President, Nickelodeon Asia, Viacom International Media Networks.


“Bullying is never acceptable. It is hurtful and a part of a cycle of aggressive behavior. Everyone is affected – victims, perpetrators and bystanders,” said Marianne Clark-Hattingh, UNICEF Representative in Malaysia. “We are encouraged by Nickelodeon’s ongoing efforts, and hope these videos will enable children to identify bullying and not turn a blind eye. When children feel empowered, they can take the appropriate action, be it telling an adult or people in authority over them.”

UK Fans Go Crazy Over JoJo Siwa And Claire’s "JoJo’s Bow Party" Promo | Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon teams with retailer for first meet and greets in the UK.


The huge potential for the JoJo Siwa licensing programme has been underlined by two successful meet and greet appearances by the YouTube star – her first in the UK – organised by Nickelodeon and Claire’s Accessories.

Last week saw JoJo make two appearances at Manchester’s Old Trafford Centre store and in a special branded bus outside Birmingham’s Bull Ring – attracting over 500 fans on both days! Some fans made the trip from Scotland and Ireland, and even as far as from Dubai, just to see JoJo.

A new bow was on sale at the Claire’s stores especially for the two days (pictured below with some of the fans at the Manchester event), with fans buying a bow to then receive a wristband for the meet and greet entry.

In addition, new JoJo bags were also available, with Nickelodeon reporting sell outs for both bows and bags.


While the main focus of JoJo’s visit was to promote the partnership with Nickelodeon and Claire’s, she also made an appearance on ITV's This Morning later in the week to talk about cyber-bullying.

JoJo will return to the UK in October to perform at Nickelodeon’s SLIMEFEST event in Blackpool. Fans can also step into JoJo Siwa’s world with JoJo Siwa: My World, a brand-new docu-style special that goes inside the social media superstar’s journey from small town girl who loved to dance and sing, to Kids’ Choice Award winner for Favorite Viral Music Artist, premiering Friday 18th August 2017 at 5:00pm on Nickelodeon UK & Ireland.

Marianne James, Vice President Commercial Partnerships, Consumer Products and Experiences, UK & Ireland at Nickelodeon UK, told The Source: “JoJo Siwa is quite the phenomenon here in the UK. We recognised that she is a role model and icon for our audience early on and formed hugely successful retail partnerships as a result.

“Her eponymous bows encompass her individuality and fun personality and we look forward to bringing more JoJo products to consumers very soon.”

Paramount Shelves Plans For London Theme Park

Plans to build a £3.5 billion Paramount Entertainment Resort in Dartford in Kent have been scrapped as developers and the film company part ways.


Developers have today announced a shock split from Paramount but still hope to submit plans by the end of this year.

Dubbed "London Paramount", the Universal Studios-style park was expected to have 50 rides and attractions inspired by some of the Hollywood favourites from the film company, including Transformers and Mission Impossible, as well as rides and attractions inspired by popular BBC and Aardman Animations properties, housed in zones such as Adventure Isle, Land of Legends, Cartoon Circus, Starfleet Command, Action Square, Port Paramount and Entertainment City. In addition to the rides, the park was to include a 2,000 seat theatre with regular West End quality shows, 11,000 sq m of exhibition space showcasing the best of British inventions and brands, along with over 11,000 restaurant covers in a variety of food outlets.

However, London Resort Company Holdings (LRCH), who is leading the development, has said they are still working with local authorities and land owners to get the plans through public consultation.

Humphrey Percy, CEO of LRCH, said: "We want to express our sincere thanks to the many members of the Paramount team who have worked with us since we took over the Project in August 2013.

"This announcement does not have an effect on the timing of our planned Development Consent Order (DCO) submission in November 2017.

"We are working closely with the local authorities, landowners and local community, as well as our other stakeholders, and we very much look forward to showing our plans to the public as part of our final stage of consultation prior to submitting later this year."

"We are creating a unique entertainment destination offering a scale and quality unprecedented in the UK where much loved characters and stories will be brought to life from iconic movies, television, books,electronic gaming and toys."


It is believed the park will create 33,000 jobs in the North Kent area and will take up 110 acres of land on an old landfill site in Swanscombe Peninsula.

However, although plans for Disneyland-style theme park have fallen through, the planned resort popped recently up on Google Maps in North Kent under its proposed name, "London Paramount".

Nickelodeon International Launches "Nella The Princess Knight"-Inspired App To Promote Self-Confidence, Inclusiveness And Kindness

Original Nickelodeon International Press Release:

NICKELODEON INTERNATIONAL LAUNCHES NELLA THE PRINCESS KNIGHT-INSPIRED APP TO PROMOTE SELF-CONFIDENCE, INCLUSIVENESS AND KINDNESS


“Nella the Princess Knight: Kingdom Adventures” available today in 12 different languages



NEW YORK/LONDON—AUGUST 3, 2017—Nickelodeon today launched Nella the Princess Knight: Kingdom Adventures, an exclusive international app featuring a suite of games based on social-emotional lessons taught in the hit Nick Jr. series Nella the Princess Knight.


In the spirit of the show, the game leans on princess-and-knight heroine Nella to inspire girl empowerment, self-confidence, resilience and compassion among players. This follows the March launch of “Together We Rock,” which promoted concepts of gender equity and tasked School of Rock star Tomika with leading a group of student musicians to greatness.


Incorporating a reward system inspired by the emotional intelligence curriculum featured in the animated series, ​“Nella the Princess Knight: Kingdom Adventures” will incorporate moments of self-confidence, inclusiveness, and compassion for others through five mini-games that enable kids to practice math, creative problem solving and fine motor skills:

  • Hide and Seek: Players are tasked with finding Nella and her friends, with the help of the light of Nella’s sword.
  • Shift Shapes with Bigor the Dragon: Nella helps dragons order and collect differently-shaped objects in a cave.
  • Feed the Impkins: Nella helps feed hungry impkins by giving them plumberry ice cream using her lance.
  • Willow Needs Support: Nella’s farmer friend Willow takes part in Castlehaven’s Gardening Contest, and Nella supports her by growing vegetables with magic seeds.
  • Helping Birds Find Home: Using her bow and arrows, Nella helps lost birds find their homes by launching her arrows toward the correctly-colored birdhouses.

“Nella the Princess Knight: Kingdom Adventures” was created by Nickelodeon in partnership with Colto, an award-winning educational app developer from Milan. Nickelodeon International worked closely with the Nella the Princess Knight show team to assure the game followed the emotional curriculum outlined in the show (problem solving, empowerment and confidence, resilience, courage and kindness), in addition to sourcing feedback from kids through multiple rounds of game testing.


“We are extremely excited about bringing Nella in game format to kids all around the world to inspire important and timely concepts through play, such as compassion and inclusiveness,” said Kate Sils, VP Multiplatform & Brand Engagement, Nickelodeon International. “We put kids first in everything we do at Nickelodeon, and want our characters to serve as role models that help empower kids everywhere to remember they are important, valued and can take on anything while having fun doing so.”


“Nella the Princess Knight: Kingdom Adventures” is free to download on the iTunes Store and Google Play in more than 150 international markets in 12 languages: Dutch, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Swedish, British English and Brazilian Portuguese.
