Nickelodeon International Debuts 'Sharkdog' on Nick Play App in Asia

Nickelodeon International has debuted Sharkdog, a brand-new animated short-form series, on the award-winning Nickelodeon Play app in Asia!


Created by first-time creator Jacinth Tan and Raihan Harun from Singapore, Sharkdog is a 20 x 90-second digital series that follows the adventures and misadventures of Max and his special pet/sidekick, Sharkdog – half shark, half dog, all mayhem. Max is desperate to be a superhero – he’s got the super side kick, but now just needs to figure out the hero part.


Sharkdog is Nickelodeon's first animated short-from series to come from Asia, and is produced by multi-award-winning CG animation studio One Animation (OddBods, Insectibles, Rob the Robot, Hard Boiled). Nickelodeon International greenlit the series for development in October 2017.

Sharkdog is Nickelodeon's first animated short-form series from Asia, and comes from the 2015 edition of the annual Nickelodeon’s Global Animated Shorts Program, designed to identify and develop original comedy-driven content for kids. Besides Sharkdog, a further 21 pitches were chosen out of 850 pitches and developed into animated shorts, with the potential to air on the network, or live on the Nickelodeon Play App.


Sharkdog is now available to watch on the Nickelodeon Play app in Asia, available for iOS and Android devices from the Apple App and Google Play stores in Indonesia and Singapore, and is slated to roll out onto Nickelodeon Play apps in several international markets soon.

Watch an episode of Sharkdog, titled "FishTacos", in which Sharkdog goes on the prowl for a delicious fish taco, below!:


Sharkdog - FishTacos from Rich Dickerson on Vimeo.

Sharkdog stars the voices of: Ben Burgess as Sharkdog; Quinn Breslin as Max; AnnaBelle Deaner as Mia; Mandy Fabian as Mom; and A. George Hamway as Dad.

In addition to Sharkdog, Nickelodeon International is also developing MooseBox into a 20 x 90 second digital-first series. It follows Moose and CatBox, two best friends who need each other to play, explore and survive a video game world called The Cube.

Created by South African animation director Mike Scott and produced by South African studio Mind’s Eye Creative, MooseBox is one of the first short-form series to come out of Nickelodeon's world renowned Global Animated Shorts Program. Nickelodeon International greenlit the series for development in October 2017, at the same time as Sharkdog, and is also slated to roll out the series onto Nickelodeon Play apps in several international markets soon.

The original pilot below – which was created by the well-known Cape Town studio Triggerfish Animation – was made for Nickelodeon International Animated Shorts Program 2013-14, and has been available to watch online for more than three years as part of Nickelodeon's Global Animated Shorts Program showcase.

Also, from The New Paper:

Singaporean-created Sharkdog series a Nickelodeon first


Singaporean storyboard artist Jacinth Tan came up with Sharkdog when playing with her dog during Shark Week. PHOTO: Nickelodeon

While playing with her dog during Discovery Channel's Shark Week television programming, Singaporean storyboard artist Jacinth Tan came up with the quirky idea that would lead to her first big break.

The result is Sharkdog - the eponymous character that is a hybrid of a shark and dog - which went on to earn the unofficial title of Nickelodeon's first animated short-form series from Asia.

The 20-episode, 90-second show chronicles the adventures of a boy named Max and his special pet-sidekick Sharkdog, and premieres on the US children's television network's app Nickelodeon Play today.

Ms Syahrizan Mansor, vice-president of Nickelodeon's brand in Asia, told The New Paper: "Sharkdog has a lot of silly humour and a lot of heart. What better time to launch this than just before National Day as we celebrate a Singapore-first for Nickelodeon."

Ms Tan, 27, said she was simply pleased she got a chance to tell a story she feels strongly about.

She told TNP: "Through Max's rebellion, I want to show children that rebelliousness is not necessarily wrong.

"They should think about what they want in life and not be afraid to chase their dreams."

She had found it difficult to convince her parents of her career prospects.

Ms Tan, who studied animation at Nanyang Technological University's School of Art, Design and Media, said: "I don't think they were convinced until I managed to get my first job at (local animation studio) Chips and Toon within a month of graduation."

She got started in the industry in 2014. She and Sharkdog co-creator Raihan Harun entered the project in the 2015 edition of Nickelodeon's Global Animated Shorts Programme.

Their idea stood out from the 850 pitches and was green-lit.

Ms Tan, who conceptualised Sharkdog with a team at her current employer One Animation, said: "I hope this will inspire other creators that it is possible to pitch your show and get it picked up."

Viacom Moving Ahead with OTT Plan and US$1bn Studio Production Goal

Viacom is moving ahead with plans to launch a new direct-to-consumer platform in the US as well as ramping up its studio production initiative globally to create new first-run content for third-party platforms, according to Viacom president and CEO Bob Bakish.


Speaking to analysts after the company posted its fiscal Q3 results, Bakish said that one element of the company’s “multi-dimensional approach to ensure that we’re making the most out of our assets and capabilities” in over-the-top (OTT) would be by “launching a new D2C platform, which we’ve referenced previously”.

Bakish had previously referred to this plan at the time of Viacom’s Q1 2018 results in February. He said at the time that the new service would launch by September, rolling Viacom brands into a combine service that would be distributed by mobile telecom operators.

Bakish also highlighted Viacom’s cross-portfolio studio production initiative, which he said was not about licensing library product wholesale to SVOD platforms but about “new first-run content for SVOD platforms and other third parties”. He said that Paramount TV’s growth had sown there was a growing appetite for premium episodic video content, but that there was now “a much larger opportunity” that will see Viacom build studio production into a US$1 billion business by 2020.


Viacom president and CEO Bob Bakish

He said Viacom had established studio production units at Nickelodeon, MTV and Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN), with units at Comedy Central and BET to launch shortly. These units will “create new original content for third party customers leveraging existing and new IP”.

Other initiatives will target the Latin American and Brazilian markets, as well as identifying intellectual property within it' vaults that could be an ideal fit for a digital or linear programmer outside of Viacom. One such property, Nickelodeon's Pinky Malinky, will debut on Netflix around the world on Friday 17th August 2018. Although bowing on Netflix, Pinky Malinky will feature Nickelodeon branding at the show open.

Bakish said that the strategy to ramp up production for third party subscription video-on-demand (SVoD) services was about “extending brand reach beyond pay TV” and about creating first-run content to extend brands tho other platforms and generate incremental revenues.

Bakish said that Viacom was continuing to create “targeted D2C products” that are also distribute through partners, such as Nickelodeon's Noggin, which launched on Amazon’s Prime Video Channels in May.

Viacom exceeded analyst expectations in profits growth for its third fiscal quarter, despite a decline in revenue of 4% to US$3.24 billion.

Operating income grew by 1% to US$752 million, boosted by a better than expected performance at Paramount Pictures.

The company’s media networks division saw revenues dip by 2% to US$2.5 billion, with a 17% increase in ancillary revenues being more than offset by ta 4% decline in advertising revenues and a 3% decline in affiliate revenues. Domestic and international revenues each declined by 2% to US$1.99 billion and US$509 million respectively, with international revenues flat at constant currency.

Paramount Pictures revenue was up by 58%. For filmed entertainment overall, a decline in international revenues of a third pushed the overall top lien down by 9% to US$772 million.

Bakish said that the company’s turnaround was “delivering demonstrable and measurable results” as Viacom pivoted to become “a truly multi-platform, global brand and IP-driven entertainment company”.

Steve Burns is on the Hunt to Find the New Star of Nickelodeon's 'Blue's Clues'

Whip out your handy-dandy notebook, because the beloved host of everyone's favorite ’90s Nickelodeon program is back on the case.

This past April, Nickelodeon held a casting call.


The network was seeking women and men, ages 18 to 25. The ideal candidate would be able to sing, juggle and play guitar. “Our host will have a comedy background, a natural connection with the camera, and will empower the home viewer to feel important, respected, and smart,” the open call read.

Kids of the late '90s and early 2000s will likely remember the man who once held this coveted position: Steve. Played by Steve Burns, he was the host of Blue’s Clues, and the owner of the titular spotted cartoon dog who left clues around Steve’s house for the audience to piece together.

Twelve years after the original show ended (hosted at the time by Donovan Patton), Blue is heading back to the small screen to entertain a new generation of problem solvers. Like Rugrats, the preschool series has been revived by Nick and is set to air in the near future with a new live-action host.

During a conversation with Angela Santomero ― a co-creator of Blue’s Clues who is also the brains behind the very popular Mister Rogers-themed kids’ show Daniel Tiger’s NeighborhoodHuffPost learned that, even though Steve won’t be back to lead the animated series, he has been playing a big role in the program's revival in helping to find a solid replacement.

“Steve helped us find Donovan and he’s, again, helping us find this new person that we’re going to bring into the family,” Santomero explained. “Steve is fantastic!”

“Yup! I’ve been helping, looking at contenders and offering small, bald green wisdom like Yoda,” Burns told HuffPost US' Leigh Blickley, adding that he couldn’t reveal much more.

As of now, Santomero’s production team says “no decision has been made on casting yet.” When asked about the search, a rep for Nickelodeon told HuffPost, “We don’t have any updates at this time.”

If it were up to Burns, however, the ideal candidate would be “someone who can listen to the camera with a simple authenticity and who is zero percent condescending.”

Ultimately, he said, Nickelodeon and Santomero would have all the answers. “I’m more just consigliere,” he joked.

According to Santomero, Blue’s Clues was originally created to resemble the work of another big figure in children’s television: Fred Rogers.

“Mister Rogers being a real person, talking directly to me, made an impact,” Santomero recalled. “So when Blue’s Clues first came out, it was all about Steve talking directly to the camera. Therefore, our pacing was much slower because I have an education background, similar to Fred’s.”

Santomero said a live-action host living in an animated world sparks curiosity among viewers. “That aspect of fantasy for a preschooler, to be able to live in an animated storybook world, is exciting. Also, the idea that the adult needs your help, that’s kind of a piece of it too that we really thought was a strong empowerment message.”

When HuffPost previously spoke to Burns in 2016, he was excited about the prospect of a new audience discovering the magic of the show one day.

“It felt like a dream to wake up and be like, ‘Wait, people watched that all over the world?’” he said. “For me, it’s a very different experience than it is for everyone else, but to know that people who watched Blue’s Clues now have children that watch Blue’s Clues is a real brain-burner, that’s for sure. But it’s all just really cool. Maybe I’m Grover to somebody. That’s awesome. That’s just completely awesome.”

The show originally ran with Steve from 1996 to 2002. But eventually Burns decided it was time to throw out his handy-dandy notebook and retire that green-striped shirt.

“I left the show because it was just simply time to go,” he said. “I was pretty much playing a boyish, older-brotherish kind of character on the show. I was getting older; I was losing my hair; a lot of the original gangsters on the show, like the people who created it, were all moving on to other careers. It just felt like time. I just had a gut feeling like it was time to go.”

Steve’s successor, Joe, played by Patton, took over as host in 2002 and served until the network decided to end the show’s decade-long run. Now, Blue’s Clues is being slightly rejiggered with a “modern” look.


“What’s interesting about Blue’s Clues is it still looks different than any of the shows that are on today, and it was created in 1995,” Santomero said. “There’s still something about it. So if we can keep that level of fresh innovation and make it classic and nostalgic, then we would have done our job.”

Nickelodeon is slated to premiere the network's Blue’s Clues revival in 2019.

It's currently unknown whether the UK version of the rebooted Blue's Clues will have a localised host. In the original series, the show was presented Kevin Duala.
