Brian Robbins Reveals More Details About 'SpongeBob' Spin-Off 'Kamp Koral'

In an exclusive interview with TV KIDS, Nickelodeon President Brian Robbins revealed more details about Kamp Koral, an original spinoff series of the network's iconic hit, SpongeBob SquarePants!


"Literally my second or third day here, I was asked to go to a SpongeBob season 12 or 13 pickup meeting. I asked a lot of questions. What I realized is that we’ve made a lot of shows over many, many years, but the shows basically stayed the same. We had all these great characters in the world of SpongeBob, but we never individually explored their origin stories or their histories or put them in their own environments," Robbins told TV KIDS.

"So we decided to put a room together and really look at what the SpongeBob universe looks like. And out of that came the Kamp Koral idea and actually a couple of other ideas. Kamp Koral is the first show. It will be a limited summer series," added Robbins.

"I just saw amazing animation tests and conceptual art that blew us all away. It’s basically about how Patrick and SpongeBob met in summer camp when they were kids. It’s not SpongeBob babies, so to speak, but it is in CG, and they’re younger and cuter. Sandy is really cute in it. She has braces. It’s really fun and it looks different but still feels like SpongeBob. I couldn’t be more excited about it."

The CG-animated series (13 episodes) introduces 10-year-old SpongeBob SquarePants during his summer at sleepaway camp. The series was greenlit earlier this year and commenced production in June 2019 at Nickelodeon Studios in Burbank, California.

In the series, SpongeBob and his pals spend the summer building underwater campfires, catching wild jellyfish, and swimming in Lake Yuckymuck at the craziest camp in the kelp forest, Kamp Koral.

Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller (SpongeBob SquarePants) are co-executive producers on the series.

Nickelodeon Animation are currently recruiting staff to work on the series. Visit https://www.nickanimation.com/jobs to see all vacancies and to apply.

SpongeBob SquarePants, which was recently greenlit for a 13th season, has reigned as the number-one kids’ animated series on TV for the last 17 years, while generating a universe of beloved characters, pop culture catchphrases and memes, theatrical releases, consumer products, a Tony award-winning Broadway musical which is now touring North America and a global fan base. SpongeBob SquarePants is seen in more than 208 countries and territories, translated in 55+ languages, and averages more than 100 million total viewers every quarter. SpongeBob SquarePants is created by Stephen Hillenburg and produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, Calif.

Nickelodeon's is currently in the midst of the network's "Best Year Ever", a year-long global celebration of one of the most iconic TV series and characters ever created. The “Best Year Ever” launched with the premiere of “SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout,” an original mixed live-action and animated special earlier this summer, and leads up to the Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies theatrical, The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge, coming May 2020.

THE MIDNIGHT SOCIETY IS BACK! Nickelodeon’s beloved 90s kids’ cult classic, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, is reimagined for a new generation and will screen the first two episodes on the big screen at Los Angeles’ Beyond Fest, ahead of its premiere on Nickelodeon on Friday, October 11!


Beyond Fest is excited to announce the premiere event of Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid of the Dark? The three-part limited series event sees the return of the Midnight Society, with Beyond Fest bowing the first two episodes on Monday, October 7.

Berman, Grabinski and Israelite all serve as executive producers. After the Are You Afraid of the Dark? panel will be a 35mm screening of the ‘80s thrill-ride, The Gate, a film specially selected based on its shared sensibilities with the limited series.

Across the three hour-long episodes, Are You Afraid of the Dark? will follow members of an entirely new Midnight Society, who tell a terrifying tale of the Carnival of Doom and its evil ringmaster Mr. Tophat, only to witness the shocking story come frightfully to life.

Based on the ‘90s kids’ cult classic, and reimagined for a new generation, part one of Are You Afraid of the Dark? will debut on Friday, Oct. 11, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT), with parts two and three to follow Oct. 18, and Oct. 25, respectively.

One of the Nickelodeon’s most iconic series from the ‘90s, the original Are You Afraid of the Dark? delivered riveting stories of horror to young audiences, all from a kid’s perspective.

The series is owned by DHX and was created by D.J. MacHale and Ned Kandel, who are also executive producers on the project along with Chris Foss.

The genre-focused Beyond Fest kicked off last week and runs through October 9. The festival raises funds for the nonprofit American Cinematheque. Visit https://www.beyondfest.com for more information.

A shortform preschool series for Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.-branded linear and digital platforms will be produced by Nickelodeon Australia and feature CKN stars Calvin and brother Kaison.

Nickelodeon has struck an exclusive multi-territory agreement with Australian YouTube sensation CKN Toys to develop original content for its branded linear and digital platforms as the Viacom unit continues to bet on young social media influencers.

CKN Toys features seven-year-old Calvin and three-year-old brother Kaison unboxing and testing toys. With more than 13 million YouTube subscribers and more than 12 billion views, it has become one of Australia’s largest YouTube channels and also has big followings in the U.S., the U.K., India, Brazil and other countries.

"Tapping into CKN Toys’ unscripted, spontaneous and fun narrative style," Nickelodeon will initially develop and produce an exclusive original shortform preschool series for Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.-branded linear and digital platforms that will be produced by Nickelodeon Australia and feature Calvin and Kaison. No name for the show was immediately unveiled.

Financial terms of the deal, which covers more than 170 territories, weren't disclosed. The agreement, which follows a similar deal with Ryan ToysReview, was created and brokered by Haven Global, CKN’s worldwide licensing agent, which will work with Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Products (VNCP) across multiple territories.

“CKN Toys has grown to become one of the most popular YouTube channels in the world because kids and parents alike love Calvin’s sense of fun and play, and his good-natured personality,” said Jules Borkent, Executive Vice President (EVP) Content and Network Strategy, Nickelodeon International. “We’re looking forward to developing content that taps into all the things fans already love about CKN Toys and giving it a distinct Nickelodeon look and feel.”

Said Tom Punch, Haven Global’s founder and managing director: "Calvin and Kaison’s infectious and authentic enthusiasm when road-testing toy superheroes, vehicles, construction kits and play sets have turned them into real tastemakers.”

“Haven and Nickelodeon have been partners for decades, so it’s exciting to have the opportunity to develop a consumer products plan that embodies the fun and playful nature of CKN Toys,” says Mark Kingston, Senior Vice President (SVP) of International, Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Products (VNCP).

CKN Toys launched in March 2015 and has become known for such catch phrases as “Oh my goodness!,” “Oh Wow!” and “Yes, I did it!”

Rainbow's '44 Cats' Renewed for Season Two

Italian content powerhouse Rainbow Group has announced the pawsome news that it's popular CG-animated series 44 Cats has been renewed for a second season! 44 Cats debuted last year and is already a ‘pawsome’ success in various countries across the world, enjoying fast growth in both broadcasting and licensing.


Set in the world of animals, 44 Cats follows the daily adventures of Lampo, Milady, Pilou and Meatball – four adorable kittens who are part of a music band named The Buffycats.

The protagonists live and play in the Clubhouse, a garage beside old Granny Pina’s house. Their adventures explore the themes of friendship and altruism: the four cats love helping others and always find creative solutions to everyday hitches and help other cats in need. The series promotes positive attitudes and conveys educational messages dealing with important themes such as tolerance, diversity and solidarity in a funny way.

This eagerly anticipated show made its world debut on Rai Yoyo in Italy on Monday 12th November 2018. Nickelodeon International acquired the broadcast rights to the series in May 2018, and has been rolling the animated series out on Nickelodeon channels and branded blocks around the world, excluding Latin America, throughout 2019. It's currently unknown whether Nickelodeon will acquire the rights to 44 Cats season two.

44 Cats will also make its Canadian premiere on Treehouse TV on Monday, September 30, 2019 at 12:40 p.m. (ET/PT).

Season two of 44 Cats will contain 52 x 13-minute episodes, bringing the number of episodes of the series up to 104 x 13 minute episodes. The second season of 44 Cats is expected to be delivered soon.

44 Cats is inspired by the very popular Italian kids song "44 Gatti", which, in 1968, won the 10th edition of the Zecchino d'Oro and has since entered the collective imagination of Italians.

44 Cats is the first Rainbow Group production jointly developed with Bardel Entertainment, the Canadian animation studio it acquired in 2015, and jointly produced in collaboration with Antoniano Bologna and Rai Ragazzi, and combines great music and edutainment with high quality animation. The series also marks Rainbow’s (Winx Club, Regal Academy, Club 57, Mia and me, Maggie & Bianca Fashion Friends) inaugural foray into preschool programming.

Rainbow inked a licensing deal for 44 Cats with Thai Group’s Hong Kong-based company, Toy Plus in August 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, Toy Plus will develop a variety of products including interactive plush, figurines, play sets, musical toys and more based on the music, creative play patterns and collectability featured in the series. The line of merchandise debuted in Hong Kong in October, and is slated to become available for purchase around the world in fall 2019. Media Service Zawada represents the property in Poland.

Rainbow has also secured a new licensing deal for 44 Cats with holistic lifestyle company Artsana Group. Under the agreement, the company will develop a range of licensed 44 Cats-themed infant educational toys for infants and a nursing line under its Chicco brand, the largest infant brand in Europe. The deal also includes apparel and accessories collections by Prenatal and Chicco. Products are expected to hit retail shelves later this year and will be supported by a dedicated, high-level marketing campaign delivered jointly by Rainbow and Artsana Group, which is also based in Italy.

Additionally, Rainbow has tapped The Joester Loria Group (JLG) to represent the 44 Cats animated series in the U.S., and Bandai America has been appointed by master toy partner Toy Plus to distribute their full range of 44 Cats toys in the U.S., Canada and Australia markets. A collection including figurines, play sets, plush, and musical toys will debut at retailers early next year. Simba Dickie Group’s is the exclusive distributor for Europe and the Middle East.

44 Gatti become the most watched Italian-produced cartoon of 2018 when it debuted on Rai Yoyo on Monday 12th November 2018, recording record ratings of 527,000 viewers and a 2.71% audience share, helping Rai Yoyo to continue to be the most watched children's channel in Italy! Since its debut, 44 Gatti has also held the record for the highest viewing share amongst children aged 4-7 years, reaching 16% and an average audience of 350,000 viewers in the 19.15 timeslot.

Rainbow SpA will be showcasing its portfolio of top-rated properties, including 44 Cats and Winx Club, at Brand Licensing Europe (BLE). Rainbow's booth will be situated at B180.

Update (9/29) - From the September/October 2019 issue of License Global Magazine:

On the licensing front, "44 Cats" made an immediate impact with major deals signed before the show even hit TV screens. Key partners include Toy Plus (master toy partner), Simba Dickie Group (special partner and distributor for Europe and the Middle East), UNITOYS (exclusive distributor for Russia) and Bandai America (toy distributor in the U.S. and Canada). Other major partners include the likes of Sony, Artsana, Ravensburger, Clementoni and John Toys, among others.

A "44 Cats" live show tour will kick off in the fall, with the premiere show already having sold out.

Next year, "44 Cats" will lead a worldwide campaign to support responsible pet adoptions alongside several pet care associations. A host of edutainment activities and events promoting social responsibility are also planned.

PhatMojo Named Paddington Master Toy Partner for U.S, Canada, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand

Copyrights Group has appointed PhatMojo as the master toy partner for Paddington for the U.S, Canada, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand!


PhatMojo will create new product ranges tied into all-new media content being developed for Paddington, which will include a TV series launching next year and the new Paddington movies.

PhatMojo, a Los Angeles-based toy company, will produce a full range of toys at different price points to include figurines, playsets, plush and roleplay items. The initial product launch linked to the TV series will take place in fall 2020. Products will be available for distribution across all other markets through new and existing partners.

Other regions will also have new products released at that time from new and existing partners, such as Maurizio Distefano Licensing (MD Licensing) in Italy and Goliath (board games) in the US, Spirit Halloween (costumes) in the US and Rockefeller Productions (stage shows) in North America.

The deal was brokered by Copyrights’ local licensing agents for North America, Bravado and Retail Monster. Fully animated in 3-D, the new Paddington series, The Adventures of Paddington, sees a younger Paddington writing to his Aunt Lucy from Windsor Gardens. Each episode will open and close with Paddington’s letter, as he tells Aunt Lucy what he has learned about life through the day’s new exciting adventure. Actor Ben Whishaw reprises his role as the voice of Paddington, after starring as the character in the live-action animation film series.


The Adventures of Paddington

Fully animated in 3D, The Adventures of Paddington will launch with 26 x 22-minute episodes, airing on Nickelodeon’s networks worldwide in 2020, excluding France, Canada, China and Japan. The series will invite a new generation of fans into Paddington’s world full of heart, kindness, slapstick humour, fun and generosity.

The movie, Paddington 3, is currently in development.

Shawn McCarthy, PhatMojo CEO, said, “It’s so cool, and such an honor to become part of the great Paddington tradition. The new TV and film content is inspiring to us. Bringing Paddington to the preschool aisle will be a joy.”

Sophie Kopaczynski, Copyrights Group CEO, added, “we are thrilled to partner with PhatMojo to create a new range of products for a whole new generation of fans, who will discover Paddington for the first time through his new adventures on TV. We believe this is a great new chapter for Paddington”

Currently in production, The Adventures of Paddington is a Heyday Films and STUDIOCANAL production in association with Copyrights. The Adventures of Paddington is helmed by Adam Shaw of Blue Zoo (It's Pony, Digby Dragon, Miffy, Go Jetters, Q Pootle 5), and developed for television and written by Jon Foster and James Lamont (The Amazing World of Gumball, Cuckoo, Paddington 1 & 2).

The much-anticipated The Adventures of Paddington television series will be produced by multi- award-winning David Heyman (producer of all eight of the Harry Potter films, Gravity, Paddington 1 & 2), Karen Davidsen (formerly with Disney and HIT Entertainment) and Simon Quinn (Isle of Dogs, Fantastic Mr. Fox). The series is executive produced by Rosie Alison (Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Paddington 1 & 2) and co-produced by Rob Silva.

The creation of the British-born writer, Michael Bond, Paddington has delighted children and families all over the world for 60 years with stories of the bear from Darkest Peru, famous for his love of marmalade. Paddington is popular with both children and adults.

Paddington’s adventures have been adapted several times for television and at the end of 2014 he made his debut onto the big screen, bringing in US$268 million at the global box office. A further film Paddington 2 followed in 2017 which brought in US$227 million worldwide. A third in the works. The movies were produced by Studiocanal, part of the international content and media group Vivendi.

Copyrights Group

More excitement is coming for the Paddington franchise in 2020 as a new TV series launches. Fully animated in 3D, the new Paddington series, The Adventures of Paddington, will launch with 26 x 22 minute long episodes, airing on Nickelodeon’s networks worldwide (except France, Canada, China and Japan).

With that in tow, it’s already set to be a big year for this classic property. Additional highlights for 2020 include a range of TV tie-in products from both new and existing partners. The partnership with Butlins in the UK continues with their popular Paddington show and internationally a new pre-school touring show is being produced by Rockefeller Productions, which will introduce Paddington to a whole new set of fans across the US and Canada.

For 2019, two new Paddington coin designs launched this year from the Royal Mint which were supported by a strong PR and marketing campaign and there is more activity still to come as we see Paddington take to the ice for the first time in the UK, in a new Paddington on Ice show at London Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland launching to fans and fair-goers this November.

The performance tells the tale of Paddington and his adventures, as he travels on a ship from Peru to London, discovering new places and meeting new friends along the way. On his voyage to London, he learns that when at sea (and on the ice) it’s not all plain sailing. “Paddington on Ice at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is a must for all Paddington fans and gives festive visitors the chance to catch the most iconic bear on ice for the very first time in the UK,” reads a statement from the Paddington brand owners, Copyrights Group. We will also see continued activity with Paddington and UNICEF where he is their champion for children’s rights.

'Ricky Zoom' to Race into the UK on Nick Jr. and Milkshake!

Entertainment One (eOne) has announced the exciting news that it has inked a deal with Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) to bring the new preschool show Ricky Zoom to Nick Jr. and Milkshake! in the U.K. & Ireland!


Ricky Zoom series (season) one is set to premiere on Nick Jr. UK & Ireland on Saturday 5th October 2019 at 9:00am, before making its debut on Milkshake!, the preschool programming block of the British commercial public service broadcaster (PSB) Channel 5 in May 2020.

Following its launch, new episodes will continue to air weekends at 9:00am, with regular encores throughout the following week.

The new eOne property recently made its debut on Nickelodeon in the U.S. on Monday 9th September 2019, and is also slated to be broadcast on Super RTL in Germany, Clan TV in Spain, Gulli in France, RAI in Italy, Youku in China, Discovery Kids in Latin America, Karusel in Russia, Minika Cocuk in Turkey and Spacetoon in the MENA region.

Parents and children alike will have the opportunity to race off into the wheeling world of Ricky Zoom, the brand-new CGI-animated action-adventure series. Hailing from Entertainment One (eOne), the studio behind global phenomenon Peppa Pig and hit shows such as Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom and PJ Masks, the new preschool series follows Ricky, a little red rescue bike, and his loyal Bike Buddies as they zoom around their Wheelford community helping others, trying out new stunts, and learning to stand on their own two wheels. Ricky Zoom season one consists of 26 half-hour episodes.


In the series premiere, “Flat Out Awesome/Ricky’s Rescue Coaching Badge,” Loop gets a flat tire and Ricky and the Bike Buddies must work together to make sure he doesn’t miss the Steel Awesome stunt show. Then, Ricky is eager to get his rescue badge.

Meet the Bike Buddies along for the ride:

  • Ricky Zoom – A little rescue bike that loves to go fast, Ricky is a loyal friend and natural leader of the Bike Buddies.
  • Loop Hoopla – An adventurous dirt bike with a happy-go-lucky attitude, Loop loves having fun and trying crazy new stunts.
  • Scootio Wizzbang – Scootio is bright, brainy and never afraid to speak her mind. She loves using her technical genius and gadgets to solve problems.
  • DJ Rumbler – DJ has a huge heart and would do anything for his friends. He also has a super toolbox and a robotic arm, so there is nothing he cannot build—or knock down.

Developed by Emmy Award-winning creator Alexander Bar and production house Frog Box, Ricky Zoom highlights the importance of friendship, resourcefulness, community and teamwork. Celebrating differences is one of many zoomtastic themes within the series.

Online at nickjr.co.uk and the Nick Jr. Play app, parents and preschoolers can find out more about Ricky Zoom as well as find exclusive colouring in activities, video clips - including the show's theme song - and games featuring their favourite Ricky Zoom characters. Fans can also like the official Nick Jr. UK & Ireland Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages and sign up to the official Nick Jr. Fan Club for the latest Nick Jr. news, highlights, video clips, competitions and more.

The official Ricky Zoom app, Welcome to Wheelford, is available today for free on iOS and Android platforms. Featuring fun mini-games and interactive playgrounds for kids to zoom into adventure and explore the world of Wheelford, the app allows audiences the ability to engage with the Bike Buddies on and off the screen, in addition to active social channels.

Monica Candiani, eOne’s Executive Vice President (EVP) of International Content Sales for Family and Brands, said: “The U.K. is an integral part of the international rollout of Ricky Zoom. Nick Jr. and Milkshake! have been our partners for 15 years with Peppa Pig and ten years of Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom and have a strong reputation for delivering top-tier programming in this crucial market. These new broadcast partnerships reflect our commitment to reaching audiences on the very best platforms and we’re confident that the show’s themes of vehicles, adventure and teamwork will resonate strongly with British preschoolers.”

eOne will present Ricky Zoom at Brand Licensing Europe (BLE) next month. TOMY is the current global master toy partner for the first wave of products expected to hit retail next year. The series is already off to a big start on Nickelodeon in the U.S. and has been a focal point in Hasbro’s recent acquisition of eOne.

'PAW Patrol' Consumer Products Expands Worldwide | Nickelodeon

More PAW Patrol toys are on the way!


PAW Patrol, the number-one series for preschoolers produced by Spin Master Entertainment and airing on Nickelodeon channels around the world, is expanding its consumer product presence with key license partner renewals in toys, publishing, and consumer packaged goods!

Spin Master will continue creating PAW Patrol toy lines with interactive vehicles and large-scale play sets with lights and sounds. Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Products’ (VNCP) also recently renewed global, multiyear agreements for the franchise with top toy partners Basic Fun! (novelty toys), VTech (early learning aides), Build-A-Bear (plush), and Jakks Pacific (outdoor play, kids furniture, and novelty toys).

In publishing, VNCP renewed its agreement with Lake Press for PAW Patrol storybooks, color, activity, and novelty books in Australia and New Zealand, and additional renewals with other key global partners are in negotiation for this fall.

In the consumer packaged goods category, Danone has renewed its relationship with VNCP across Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and other Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries through next year following a successful line of PAW Patrol dairy products (drinking yogurt, spoon yogurt, flavored milk drinks, and cheese curds) this year. In Australia, VNCP signed a deal with healthcare and baby manufacturing company Unicharm for PAW Patrol-branded BabyLove Sleepy Nights Pants, which sold at major retailers across Australia this year.

In the U.S. and Canada, VNCP partnered with Walmart to launch a special edition line of product across 10 categories tied to its latest feature-length episode PAW Patrol: Ready, Race, Rescue. Walmart is the exclusive home for Ready, Race, Rescue products in the U.S. and Canada, which includes DVD, toys, apparel, accessories, footwear, home, health and beauty, and more. Internationally, Ready, Race, Rescue will be launched with promotional windows in cinemas (including in the U.K. in February 2020) before its DVD release. Ready, Race, Rescue follows successful promotional cinema activations for PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups in Canada, Europe, Latin America, and Australia, where it was the highest-grossing alternative content title ever.

Nickelodeon recently renewed PAW Patrol for a seventh season of 26 half-hour episodes. Season seven will add a dinosaur theme to the mix. New Dino Rescue episode air dates are yet to be announced, but associated consumer products are expected to hit shelves in fall 2020.

PAW Patrol features a curriculum that focuses on citizenship, social skills and problem solving.

A PAW Patrol feature film is also in development.

Inside PAW Patrol’s lasting global presence

Cars, dinos and dairy? Spin Master and Viacom dish on the IP's theme-driven strategy and what to expect for the popular show's seventh season.


Following a successful superhero themed year, PAW Patrol is breaking into new CP categories, introducing a season full of themed executions, and is branching into perennial favorite: dinosaurs. Among many deals, Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Products (VNCP) signed and renewed multiple agreements in categories such as novelty toys, plush, dairy products and publishing.

The latest deals come on the heels of VNCP’s exclusive partnership with Walmart in the US and Canada for the franchise’s latest 44-minute DVD, PAW Patrol: Ready, Race, Rescue, and a special edition product line, including toys, apparel, accessories, footwear, home, health and beauty, tied to the home entertainment release. The DVD and the new products launched earlier this month and will be available in most markets next year.

Ready, Race, Rescue is the latest theme connected to Nickelodeon’s sixth season of PAW Patrol. A Ready, Race, Rescue DVD launched in September and a special, 44-minute episode will bow on Nick later this year. The season also introduced a superhero theme, Super Paws, which evolved from a 44-minute special, DVD and toy line—PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups—that introduced the IP’s rescue dogs as superheroes last fall. Super Paws episodes began airing in July and both themes are at the core of Spin Master and VNCP’s fall growth strategy for PAW Patrol across television, consumer products, home entertainment, theatrical and live experiences.

“Mighty Pups was so successful we decided to expand into a full season of themes this year,” says Roberto Stanichi, VP of marketing and global business unit lead for preschool at Spin Master. (Previous seasons featured single themes like Jungle Rescue and Sea Patrol.) “Mighty Pups was the first time the characters assumed different identities, which opened up a lot of opportunities for us from both a storytelling and a product development perspective.”

With the superhero theme, Stanichi says the pups required a new mega-sized headquarters and lookout tower. The accompanying toy, Spin Master’s PAW Patrol Mighty Pups: Super Paws Lookout Tower, recently made both Walmart’s annual “Top Rated by Kids” and Target’s “Bullseye’s Top Toys of 2019″ holiday toy lists.

As for new product launches tied to Ready, Race, Rescue, Spin Master is introducing die cast vehicle toys for the first time. “The strategy deals with the life cycle of consumers as they go through the brand,” says Stanichi. “As we continue to manage PAW Patrol for the long term, die cast was a natural expansion for us to appeal to the slightly older consumer, kids ages four to five, within the franchise’s target demographic.” He notes that several of the new die cast items, which launched last month, are currently among the company’s top performing toys across the entire PAW Patrol range.

PAW Patrol is also making a bigger push into consumer-packaged goods, says Charlotte Castillo, SVP of global franchise planning at VNCP. “In the US and worldwide, a big category we’re seeing a lot of growth in is [consumer-packaged goods],” says Castillo. “PAW Patrol is cutting through because our partners aren’t just overlaying the characters’ faces on the packaging. They’re actually incorporating the DNA of the IP into the product by manufacturing paw-and pup-shaped items so the brand is instantly recognizable to kids.”

Specifically, VNCP renewed a deal with dairy maker Danone across Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and additional Commonwealth of Independent States countries through 2020 after a line of PAW Patrol dairy products (drinking and spoon yogurt, flavoured milk drinks and cheese curds) found success earlier this year.

Castillo adds that PAW Patrol is also getting into global theatrical releases and activations for the first time. Internationally, Ready, Race, Rescue will launch with promotional windows in cinemas from fall 2019 through 2020 prior to its DVD release. It follows successful cinema activations for PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups in Canada, Europe, Latin America and Australia.

“It’s about bringing new preschoolers into the fandom,” says Castillo. “Onsite there are sampling opportunities and in some cases we have the walk-along characters show up.”

Looking ahead to the small screen, PAW Patrol’s 26 x half-hour seventh season will add a dinosaur theme to the mix. New Dino Rescue episode air dates are yet to be announced, but associated consumer products are expected to hit shelves in fall 2020.

PAW Patrol contributed to US$1.63 billion in revenue for Spin Master in fiscal 2018, with the company’s preschool and girls segment growing 35.8% to the tune of US$139.1 million. Spin Master’s preschool and girls segment also grew 10.3% in Q2 2019 due to higher sales for PAW Patrol.

According to The NPD Group’s Retail Tracking Service, PAW Patrol generated nearly US$1.4 billion across entertainment categories (including DVDs, books, toys and video games) from 2015 through the end of 2018. The brand ranked seventh among total toy revenue in 2018, up from 14th in 2015.
