Nickelodeon Germany, Austria and Switzerland to Premiere 'Dot.' on Monday 1st October 2018

Nickelodeon Germany (Deutschland), Nickelodeon Austria (Österreich) and Nickelodeon Switzerland (Schweiz) will start to premiere and show the brand-new animated preschool series Dot. on Monday 1st October 2018!


Dot. centres on Dot, an inquisitive and exuberant 8-year-old who embarks on hilarious adventures and fearlessly sets about solving problems…problems she most likely created herself! For a girl as energetic as Dot, there’s no better way to spend the day than outside, exploring the world with her best friends, Hal, Ruby, Nev and Dev, as well as her best dog, Scratch, as she uses technology, math, and science concepts to learn new things, but it's never at the expense of real-world experiences and the people she cares about. Viewers can join Dot as she conquers each new challenge the same way any 8-year-old would…by messing up a lot and laughing even more.

In each of the 11-minute episodes, Dot embarks on hilarious adventures to satisfy her imagination, curiosity and latest passion whether with her dog, friends, and any tool or technology that will help enhance their play and exploration.

Dot. will air weekdays at 06:10 Uhr on Nickelodeon Deutschland and daily at 07:55 Uhr on Nickelodeon Österreich and Nickelodeon Schweiz.


Dot. is an animated series targeted at 4-7 year olds that aims to inspire learning and creative exploration while modelling how technology can be used as a tool to enhance real world experiences, as well as promotes positive digital citizenship. The show also aims to expose kids -- and girls in particular -- to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts in an inviting, age-appropriate way through the likable, self-confident titular character.

The series is based on the picture book of the same title by best-selling author and text expert Randi Zuckerberg.

Dot. is produced by Industrial Brothers (Nickelodeon's Top Wing, Yup Yups, Gummandos) in association with The Jim Henson Company (Dinosaur Train, Pajanimals, Doozers, Splash and Bubbles, Word Party, Julie’s Green Room) and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

The first season of Dot. (52 x 11’) has been a top performing franchise since its debut in the U.S. on Universal Kids (formally Sprout), NBCUniversal’s Cable Entertainment network for kids 2-11 in September 2016, with all past episodes of the series streaming exclusively on Hulu. The series also currently airs on Canada’s CBC. Season two (26 x 11’) is anticipated to debut in fall 2018.

“I am so thrilled that Dot. continues to impact and inspire so many young people,” says creator and executive producer Randi Zuckerberg. “It’s so important to me that families find a healthy and positive relationship with technology, and Dot. is doing just that by allowing children and their parents to join along for her tech-fueled adventures! We can’t wait to see where Dot takes us next.”

“For parents who watch the show, I hope they see that tech can be a wonderful place of creativity and excitement for children, and not just go to a place of negativity around screen time. For kids, I hope they feel inspired and excited by the adventures that Dot and her friends have with technology. I hope Dot excites them enough to try things on their own like a coding class at school or build something with their parents,” Zuckerberg told The Hollywood Reporter in February 2016.


The show’s executive producers are Matthew Fernandes, Arthur Spanos and Tammy Semen, of Industrial Brothers, Lisa Henson and Halle Stanford of The Jim Henson Company, and Randi Zuckerberg will. Yalda Uhls, director of creative community partnerships at Common Sense Media and a senior research scientist at UCLA’s Children’s Digital Media Center @ LA is the show’s curriculum consultant. The Jim Henson Company handles media rights to the series outside of Canada, as well as all consumer products rights to the property worldwide.

Dot. has demonstrated how technology can inspire and enhance all kinds of real world adventures, helping children and their parents find balance and navigate the digital age,” commented Halle Stanford, President of Television at The Jim Henson Company. “Our new season will continue to engage children in the U.S. on Sprout and Hulu, and around the world with our top-tier partners, sharing Dot’s enthusiasm to use tech to connect, play, capture moments, tell stories and most importantly, inspire curiosity.”

Logan Henderson Spills On Life After Big Time Rush On 'TRL'

Don't sleep on Logan's solo career


Logan Henderson might be on the rise with his solo career, but he didn't shy away from talking about his time on the iconic Nickelodeon series Big Time Rush when he dropped by TRL this morning [Thursday, August 23]!

Turns out, TRL host Sway Calloway made his own appearance on Big Time Rush in 2010; Logan's reaction was one for the history books. Sway had his own fun interrogating Logan about his new single "Pull Me Deep," getting to the bottom of what his steamy lyrics are really about.


Sway really turned up the heat in the studio during Bite My Tongue, when he asked Logan a series of tough questions but only let him pass on two of 'em. I never thought Logan would answer "who was your least favorite Big Time Rush bandmate?" -- but he did! Hear which questions were too much for him below.


Before the morning was over, Logan treated TRL to an intimate performance of "Pull Me Deep." He may have dropped the choreo from his Big Time Rush days, but these vocals aren't messing around! Get into his new sound below. TRL airs on weekdays at 8:00am ET!

Menehunes | Full Short by Chris Albrecht | Nickelodeon Animated Shorts

An adventurous Menehune girl uses her new invention to try to save her family's dinner from cockroaches in Menehunes, another one of Nickelodeon's awesome Animated Shorts, created by Chris Albrecht, directed by Edward Artinian, with support from Titmouse!



More about Menehunes, via Hawaii Blog:

Nickelodeon Animated Short Features ‘Menehunes’


Children’s television network Nickelodeon this week released a digital animated short called “Menehunes,” a fun and colorful story loosely based on the menehune of Hawaiian mythology. There’s young Leilani and a hidden village of menehune in the trees, a gang of cockroaches, and more than a few silly tropical-themed puns.

It was written by Chris Albrecht, who grew up in Hawaii, but has worked in tech on the mainland for some time. He discovered directors and films for Atom Films, drove video and multimedia at Gigaom, and produced and edited content for mobile gaming company Kabam.


He’d been flexing his creative muscles all along, and had been working on ideas and pitches that would eventually become “Menehunes” for years. He was kind enough to participate in an email interview so that I could learn more about him and the project.

Q. From the colorful opening image of Diamond Head, it’s clear the story is inspired by Hawaii. What’s your connection to the islands?

A. I grew up in Hawaii… I went to Our Redeemer Lutheran School, and got to go back during summers (working at Restaurant Row!) while my family was still stationed there. I went to college on the mainland, and stayed here to work in the tech industry.


Q. Where did the story idea come from?

A. The idea was actually part of a larger idea that I pitched about three years ago, but the development team at Nickelodeon really responded to the idea of the Hawaiian folklore of the Menehunes, so we ditched the initial pitch to focus on that. Early on, I asked my friend Anderson Le over at the Hawaii International Film Festival if he would come on board to help out with the project. It is very important to me that we are respectful of Hawaii and its culture, and Anderson really helped on that front. Plus, he’s a super creative guy with tons of awesome ideas.

Q. Did you have to pitch the idea, and build out the storyboard?

A. The pitch process was very thorough with Nickelodeon to make sure we were creating a three dimensional universe filled with fully realized characters. Once we had that, we moved on to the script and character design. Then storyboards and animatics and finally the finished short.


Q. How long have you been working on ‘Menehunes’?

A. The script was done in the summer of 2013. The voice over was done in the fall of 2013, and then it was just released the other day [in 2015].

Q. How long did it take to create the video, and how many people were involved?

A. Nickelodeon is a big company, and they have this whole process down pat. I worked directly with about three or four people at Nick, but they managed a host of other teams from the artists to casting to the directing. It was amazing to see how many people it takes to put together even just a short animated project.


Q. Will there be more adventures of the ‘Menehunes’?

A. The short is a digital pilot right now. If enough people watch it, more of the series can be created. Even if it doesn’t, I sincerely hope it introduces people to the (animated) magic of Hawaii that I love so much.

Q. Where you are now, and what are you doing?

I live in the Seattle area now. I am still in the tech world, though in a more straightforward role of marketing communications for a startup called Onehub.

You can watch (and share) the “Menehunes” animated short [above]. To keep up with Chris, you can follow him on Twitter at @AlbrechtChris, check out his online portfolio at HeroicContent.com, or read about his marketing work at the Onehub product blog.

Nickelodeon Latin America Launches New 'Kally's MashUp' Competition to Give One Lucky Fan the Chance to Feature in Season Two Finale

Nickelodeon Latin America (Latinoamérica) has launched a brand-new competition which is giving one lucky fan the chance to feature in the final episode of Kally's MashUp season two!


To enter the contest, Kally's MashUp fans can head to www.mundonick.com/concursoKM and tell Nick which of the actors in Kally's MashUp they'd most like to perform a duet with, with the most creative answer being declared the winner!

Open to residents of Buenos Aires in Argentina aged 16 and over, the competition opened on Saturday 25th August 2018 and will run until Sunday 2nd September 2018, with the winner being whisked to the Kally's MashUp to film the season finale episode, currently scheduled to shoot on Wednesday 5th September 2018 at Cuyo 1811, Martinez, Buenos Aires.

Full details about the sweepstakes can be found at www.mundonick.com/concursoKM. Good luck to everyone who enters!



Kally’s MashUp is inspired by the real-life musical journey of Glee’s executive musical producer, Adam Anders. It follows the adventures of Kally, a young musical prodigy who tries to balance her life as a piano virtuoso and a regular girl when she moves from a small town to the most prestigious music university in the country. Although everyone thinks she was born to be a classical piano player, her true dream and passion is to be a pop star. Kally’s MashUp features original songs composed by Anders, his wife Nikki Anders, and longtime collaborator Peer Astrom. Anders serves as executive producer for the show and oversees all the music featured in the series.

Kally's MashUp stars a very talented cast from Argentina and Mexico, headed by Maia Reficco as Kally Ponce (Mica 6.3.5); Alex Hoyer as Dante Barkin; Sarah Cobo as Gloria Skyler; Mariano Chiesa as Mike Ponce; Betina O’Connell as Carmen Ponce; Marita Ballesteros as Rosario; Emiliano Dionisi as Carlos (Charly) Ponce; Josefina Scaglione as Abrankhousen; Sebastián Holz as Norman Skyler; Francisco Donovan as Félix; Daniel Campomenosi; Sarai Meza as Tina Barkin; Jackie Castañeda as Caridad; Fer Serrano as Lisa Barnes; Tomás Carullo as Kevin; Tupac Larriera as Alex; Daniela Flombaum as Lucy Magliano; José G.

Kally's MashUp season one (75×60-minute episodes) debuted on Nickelodeon Latinoamérica in October 2017 and has since been seen by more than 5 million viewers across the Latin American region, achieving the No. 1 position in Mexico among girls aged 7 to 14 years. Following its success, Nickelodeon Latinoamérica recently ordered more new episodes.

A new line of consumer products inspired by the popular series was released earlier this year. "Kally's MashUp: La música: banda sonora original de la serie de TV", a album featuring 18 songs from the hit TV show, was released on Friday 9th March 2018 by Deep Well Records, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment US Latin LLC. The album can be downloaded now at kallysmashupofficial.com. A live stage show is expected to launch during winter 2018.
