'The Adventures of Paddington' in Official Selection for Annecy 2020 Online

Annecy International Animation Film Festival has announced the films and TV projects that are part of its Official Selection and up for awards at this year’s (now digital) event! The festival and its accompanying market MIFA, scheduled for June 15 to 20 and June 16 to 19, respectively, have both been cancelled and moved online due to COVID-19.


Among this year's nominees is The Adventures of Paddington, which has been nominated in the "TV Films" category for the episode "Paddington and the Magic Trick"!

In the The Adventures of Paddington episode "Paddington and the Magic Trick", Mr. Gruber gives Paddington a box of magic tricks, but Paddington cannot master the tricks until he learns to practice, practice, practice.

The Adventures of Paddington gives a modern-day touch to the famous teddy bear, by evoking themes such as curiosity, empathy and the importance of a loving family. It will appeal to the young and old!

Original title: The Adventures of Paddington "Paddington and the Magic Trick"

Directed by: Adam SHAW
Country: United Kingdom
Year of production: 2019
Running time: 11 min × 52 episodes
Category: TV serie
Techniques used: 3D Computer
Process: Colour
Target public: Preschool
Credits:
Directed by: Adam SHAW
Production: HEYDAY FILMS, David HEYMAN, STUDIOCANAL, Karen DAVIDSEN, COPYRIGHTS GROUP, Simon QUINN

More information about Annecy 2020 Online will be announced shortly, but it is set to include the market and meetings, with opportunities for people to build new partnerships, spot talent and launch new projects.

For the Official Selection, on the whole the 2020 group is “less serious, and funnier, than the previous few years,” according to Annecy’s artistic director Marcel Jean. Some of the lighter funnier options in the TV Films category include Ludo Studios and BBC Studios’ Bluey and Cartoon Network’s Summer Camp Island, and Nick Jr.'s Paddington.

Regarding the selected short form works, artistic director Marcel Jean noted:

"On the whole the 2020 Selection is less serious, and funnier, than the previous few years. We still find several films dealing with current themes, in particular ecology, migration and gender identity. Some films – Empty Places by Geoffroy de Crécy, The Physics of Sorrow by Theodore Ushev and Something to Remember by Niki Lindroth Von Bahr – even appear to anticipate the present situation.

We are particularly proud of the quality and variety of the Off-Limits selection, which testifies to the vitality of experimental approaches. In addition, six of the twelve films from this section were directed by women, which represents the level of equity that characterizes the selection in the diverse categories of the Short Films. We are also thrilled with the diverse countries where the selected films come from, there are works from Iceland, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt and Indonesia, countries that are rarely represented at Annecy.

The Graduation Films revealed a very high level of productions from the Lodz School in Poland, where three films from this educational institution were selected. Meanwhile the program destined for television indicate that this sector is going through a great era with so many audacious and ambitious productions targeted to diverse audiences."

The feature films and VR works Official Selection won’t be announced until mid-May.

The complete list of short form works in competition can be found here.

Angels N' Bandits Singer and Didcot Student to 'Spill The Tea' in Nickelodeon UK #KidsTogether Campaign

Angels N' Bandits singer and Didcot student in Nickelodeon campaign


Didcot sixth form student and Angels N’ Bandits singer AJ Ruhomutally is working on a Nickelodeon UK campaign to encourage teenagers to stay in touch during lockdown to stop the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus).

The 17-year-old student and her band are taking part in the Nickelodeon's The Scoop YouTube show called Spill the Tea.

The show is part of the channels new UK campaign, #KidsTogether which aims to give tips for staying healthy and ideas for activities to do at home during the pandemic.


The band Angels N’ Bandits is a fusion of urban RnB and rap music and is made up of three girls and two boys. They have been playing together for almost seven years and have a large teenaged following.

Spill the Tea is recorded all from different lockdown locations and is all about gossip. The band also educate their fans about staying at home and stress the importance of talking to friends and family.

AJ lives with her family in Steventon and she is also adjusting to lockdown as she teaches herself A-levels from home, has daily band meetings and practices dancing and singing. She also makes sure to do live chats for her fans.

The singer explained why she believes it is so important to stay in contact with friends and family.

“I really think it is important because sometimes I struggle with mental health myself and it is good to look after yourself during this time," she told the Oxford Mail. "A lot people have been asking us for advice."

“It is just important to make sure you do communicate, and you are not just stuck in your room on your phone all day.

“Make sure you are actually going outside and interacting with neighbours from six feet away and going on walks and just making sure you are interacting and are not just by yourself.”

Lockdown has put almost everything on hold for Angels N’ Bandits.

When lockdown was announced the band were on tour and they still had another week to go. Luckily, they had already decided to stream online shows for the fans that could not make it, so fans did not entirely miss out.

However, the tour has now been postponed until late August and they have their first EP on the horizon which will be released sometime this year.

AJ is trying not to get bogged down with the here and now, but is still missing music and writing with her band members. She said: “I can’t wait to get back with my band and just write some songs. We are always together.”

The teenager is enjoying working with Nickelodeon. She said: “So far it has been great, they have been so nice and so kind. It is difficult to get all this content together online when we are not together, but it seems to be working so well.

"After Lockdown we hopefully will be filming more but we cannot really move forward with the lockdown in place.”

Angel :

We have been in lockdown for quite a while, have you prepared for this or are you just winging it as much as you can do?

ANSWER: I mean nothing can really prepare for a worldwide lockdown so I didn’t really have anything prepared. When the tour dates got pulled we knew we had to do something for all those fans who like us had plans to travel the next day to the venue. We were able to get together and perform our whole set online and thank goodness we did as the next announcement was full lockdown. Since then I have tried to keep as active as possible. And trying to do different things every day. Learn a few more skills. With online schooling it doesn’t leave a huge amount of time to myself but its been great to have the extra time to really focus on the stuff I usually squeeze in to my day.

What have you been doing with your time during lockdown?

ANSWER: Well, lockdown could get pretty boring so I stay active and also strive to be the fittest I can be for the tour coming up and everything else we have planned, thats mentally and physically. Also being able to keep in touch with fans, doing live streams but making the lives more interesting outside of my regular singing performances e.g cooking, online workouts, house party meet ups,. And also watching all the other incredible stuff being produced online. At the moment my favourites are daily Peloton spinning classes, Barry’s boot camp and Face Gym (Facial yoga) to keep every bit of my body healthy. But overall, to survive this lockdown just staying as active and social as much as possible is my mission.

What has lockdown taught you in terms of personal and professional life?

ANSWER: It has shown me that keeping in touch with friends and our amazing fanbase is very important and it has also shown me that you should never leave a friend on bad terms, even overnight because you don’t know what could happen. Life is precious. And also this has taught me how loyal and incredible our fans really are and that we need to hold on to the great relationships we have with them all, supporting them in return as much as possible.

Who are you in lockdown with and how are you keeping in contact with people who you’re not living with during this time?

ANSWER: In lockdown I am with my mum, dad and little brother and my 101 year old Grandma who is staying in house on our property to be close to us all. I’m very social in lockdown, especially with fans, and friends of course, and also my other family members. With the band, it’s usually zoom calls for stuff we need to discuss and plan and face time for general chats. It’s the same with my family and friends. I really do make an effort with the fans by staying in touch anyway possible snap chatting, d’ming, house-partying or guesting on live streams because I need to support them and look after them and keep them positive in the lock down as much as possible.

You’re a band and obviously gain inspiration from different things, presumably outside, where are you gaining inspiration from during this time?

ANSWER: It’s been amazing to see people pulling together, helping each other in a way I haven’t seen before. We made a TikTok in support for NHS and looking back on it once it had been edited together made me really emotional to think about how lucky we are to have our frontline workers. The inspiration from people doing amazing online lives and tutorials especially workout, dance and Vocal Face Gym yoga, make up all giving their time up to help others. Not going to lie, I’ve screen recorded quite a few as I’m going to miss them when this is all over. These have really kept me active and fit and focussed on what is in the future when we can get back out on tour and performing live to an audience in the same space, not through a screen. I was approached to take part in an interview with James Gilmore Wizard Radio and talking to him was so inspiring as he has achieved so much for someone so young. We got to chat about everything aNb and it felt like I had know him for ages. Also chatted to Dan Wootton (The Sun) on Talk Radio and he was so lovely. I hope to meet both of them in person when all this is over.

Have you found yourself having more time for your hobbies and have you got any new hobbies that you have picked up during this time?

ANSWER: I mean I do always try to make time for my hobbies, but this lockdown has made it a lot easier to workout out all the time and sing, write, rehearse, swim and make more tiktoks haha. This lockdown has given me more time to try new things as well, such as new hairstyles and makeup looks on YouTube and also cooking. I‘ve done a few insta lives making stuff like Rainbow Cheese Toasties, Oreo Fudge, lets just say they were very interesting. My newest hobby is photography, I absolutely love it.

Unfortunately at the moment, unable to do any shows, will there be any new shows coming up for you in the near future?

ANSWER: Yes, definitely we have CBA GigZ ” Ultimate Boy Band Tout” that has been rescheduled for August and we will be finding out new dates for all our other amazing live performances, We plan to do regular live performances as a band once we are able to meet up as I’m sure it will a gradual lifting of lockdown rules.

What are you doing during this time to pass the time?

ANSWER: School work takes up a huge amount of my day but they allow me time to schedule fitness into the timetable. Bike rides & runs are the only things I do outside and ofcourse a few Tiktoks along the way, Treadmill & our home gym have been the place I spend a huge amount of downtime, Live streaming on Tiktok, Houseparty, Insta are regular daily rituals, dance practice, yoga, stretching, online vocal lessons, writing, guitar practice, making TikToks, cooking, reading, try new hairstyles/make up looks and playing with my brothers pet Lizard Spike. Filming for Nickelodeon was amazing and introduced us all to how amazing Zoom app is. We shot a whole youtube video using the app and filmed loads of TikToks for their channels. We hope to catch up with them on the tour so they can see us doing what we love the best.

Have you noticed a difference in terms of your productivity?

ANSWER: Yes, definitely, because there are very few distractions in anything I’m doing. We launched our Merch just over a week ago and its been amazing to see how much I can contribute to the process. I started by popping a personal note in with every order not knowing how crazy it would all become. The demand has been amazing. Keeping up with it all would have been impossible without us being in lockdown and its really allowed me to be a massive part of our online shop. It’s something I really want to continue and make sure I’m in touch with what our fans are loving and wanting more of. We worked closely with our incredible stylist Callum Vincent and he has made the Merch so personal and special to the aNb brand. He is a total legend.

Sneak peak of any new music you are currently doing/working on?

ANSWER: Well, I can’t say much because lockdown is uncharge of timings but we were in the process of finishing our very first EP. As soon as each of us can get back in with our producers we will be getting everything finished and the release plan in place. Weekly catch ups with the TV team have made everything really exciting. The series development has been able to continue as nothing can stop the writers doing their job, not even Corona Virus. New song ideas are needed all the time for specific episodes and that stuff we all love to get involved with.

Positives and negatives of being in lockdown?

ANSWER: I mean obviously the main negative of lockdown is not being allowed out and being isolated from family and friends, especially the band. However I like to see the positives in things, so I have really looked at this lockdown as an opportunity to make myself better, such as getting fitter, focussing on dance, vocals and drama skills, building a stronger fan base, supporting the fans we already have, and catching up any school work I needed to focus on. So to be honest this lockdown has been good for all of that, and also is the only way to help the world stay safe. It made me get my home live stream kit fully operational and has made my “Sunday Sessions” a regular item in the aNb online schedule.

Have you got any tips for people in lockdown?

ANSWER: Yes, keep positive, talk to and keep in touch with loved ones. Focus on everyones mental health and take this time to focus on yourself too because I know a lot of my circle especially the fans I talk to are struggling with lockdown and mental health issues. I try to help as much as possible by calling them on house party and guesting them on lives and they stress how much this helps them feel a lot better which in turn makes me very happy

. Finally, where is the first place you’ll be going after lockdown has ended?

ANSWER: The first place I’m going is the rehearsal house to see the band and perform as a band for our fans online. I miss them all so much and this lockdown has been so strange, not being able to see them every Saturday. So yeah, the first place I’m going, is wherever the band is… Tour rehearsals here we come!

Reece

we have been in lockdown for quite a while, have you prepared for this or are you just winging it as much as you can do?

ANSWER: Just trying to adapt to the situation & turn a major negative into a major positive situation to make sure we come out of this as better than before it started. But I’m going with the flow & trying my best to use the time well. W

hat have you been doing with your time during lockdown?

ANSWER: I’ve just been focusing on getting ready for what’s to come! Can’t wait to be back on tour. Making sure we’re consistently up on our socials, scheduling at least 3/4 tiktoks a day, Insta & Tiktok Lives – Angel & I have been doing live quarentine workouts each week to get everybody active, fit & ready for tour also!

What has lockdown taught you in terms of personal and professional life?ANSWER: Personally; It’s also been a humbling experience as it’s showed me that anything can be taken away at any moment, so to appreciate every opportunity & put your all into everything now, as you might not be able to later!Professionally ; that consistency & hard work really is everything. So we’ve been making sure we constantly upload on our socials, always making sure we interact with all our fans & are always sharpening our skill set to become the best band we can be!

Who are you in lockdown with and how are you keeping in contact with people who you’re not living with during this time?

ANSWER: I’m in lockdown with my family (brother, brother’s girlfriend, mother & step father), I seem to find myself regularly checking up on my band members as I miss them more than expected! With frequent facetime calls with Frankie just so he can show me how to make a ‘proper cup of tea’ & guesting fans & the band on livestreams.

You’re a band and obviously gain inspiration from different things, presumably outside, where are you gaining inspiration from during this time?

ANSWER: Trying to find inspiration from each other, discussing ideas & helping everyone through their hardships. Also I like to watch inspirational videos on youtube/instagram & read such books, as they really do help, like ‘the Power of Positive Thinking’ which I am currently reading, to help me maintain good energy & motivation to keep growing & improving.

Have you found yourself having more time for your hobbies and have you got any new hobbies that you have picked up during this time?

ANSWER: Yes I am loving the free time that i’m getting, i’ve started to learn to play the guitar, plus making sure i’m writing & singing/rapping every day. I’ve also downloaded a beat-making software to try to learn to produce some of my own music. I also seem to have fell in love with yoga & find it very helpful & calming around my workouts, along with meditation to help focus on my goals.

Unfortunately at the moment, unable to do any shows, will there be any new shows coming up for you in the near future?ANSWER:Yes, the new rescheduled tour dates have just been announced & I cannot wait to be back on the road, doing what we love & being blessed enough to be able to perform across the UK. We also keep busy & do online / live performances whenever we can, whether that’s posting originals & covers on our socials, or livestreaming our performances in rehersals whenever we can be together.

What are you doing during this time to pass the time?

ANSWER: A lot of exercise & practice, strengthening my mind & body to be fully prepared for the future & keeping myself occupied, setting small daily/weekly goals to keep busy & prevent getting bored during these times! Watching & creating Tiktoks & other social media content is my favourite passtime at the moment, aswell as a newly found slight addiction to online shopping! Launching our Merch line has been amazing. Finding ways to promote all the different aNb items in our new online store has been fun. You might want to check out a few Tiktoks we put together to see what I mean. Cant believe how supportive everyone has been and how quickly we had to restock the store. Our fans are truly amazing.

Have you noticed a difference in terms of your productivity? ANSWER: Yes, since lockdown started I’ve been so much more productive than before, mostly because I don’t have school work in the way anymore so I can now fully devote my energy & attention to the band & my career! I’m loving it so in many ways this has been a blessing!Sneak peak of any new music you are currently doing/working on?

ANSWER: I’ve been posting regular originals & covers on my instagram, & we are performing our unreleased music on tour! Which seems to be going down well. We enjoy working on & making music as it’s really a hobby for us, we love this! EP will follow as soon as we can get into to finish final vocals with our producers.

Positives and negatives of being in lockdown?

ANSWER: Positives are my increased productivity & focus on my goals. Also I have more time to create content, master my craft & engage with our audience. Negatives are that we can’t perform anywhere or rehearse together & see each other, or see any of the fans! So we compensate with fan houseparty calls & insta / snapchat group chats!

Have you got any tips for people in lockdown?

ANSWER: Set yourself daily / weekly goals that you want to achieve, no matter how big or small, to stay busy & active so you don’t get bored & you use your time effectively. & use this time of isolation to better yourself, trying to keep positive.

Finally, where is the first place you’ll be going after lockdown has ended?

ANSWER:I would say to the barbers but i’ve now mastered the art of cutting my own hair! Well maybe not mastered but i’m getting there!So I think it’s gonna have to be the gym on my way to wherever the band are next rehearsing!

What have you been doing with your time during lockdown?

ANSWER: I’ve been exercising a lot and writing a lot of music. I’ve loved spending time with my family.

What has lockdown taught you in terms of personal and professional life?

ANSWER: It’s taught me that I couldn’t live without my band and my music. I literally gotta speak to them everyday and I can’t wait to see them all and get back to some real work as a band. Its taught me that whatever happens in life nothing is a given. Everyday is a blessing.

Who are you in lockdown with and how are you keeping in contact with people who you’re not living with during this time?

ANSWER: I’m with my family so my mum, my dad, my two brothers and my little sister

You’re a band and obviously gain inspiration from different things, presumably outside, where are you gaining inspiration from during this time?

Have you found yourself having more time for your hobbies and have you got any new hobbies that you have picked up during this time?

ANSWER: Yeah I really have and I’ve been spending a lot of time exercising big up Joe Wicks with he’s exercises on YouTube. I have found Bike rides to be really therapeutic. I’ve been learning new instruments and trying to learn new crafts. It’s forced me to try learn piano and guitar as I have no excuse now to say “I will do it when I have some spare time’. Helping my brother with his new customised trainer business and with our Merch store launching there has been loads to focus on.

Unfortunately at the moment, unable to do any shows, will there be any new shows coming up for you in the near future?

ANSWER: We have just had our tour rescheduled for August so I’m very gassed and cannot wait to see all the fans.

What are you doing during this time to pass the time?

ANSWER: Exercising and real family time is my day to day. But there have been crazy moments like when Nickelodeon reached out to us and asked us all to create content for their UK channels was incredible. They had seen out live stream we did just before the Lockdown happened and liked what they did. You just don’t realise who is watching you when you are going live on social media and when opportunities like that arise, it incredible.

Have you noticed a difference in terms of your productivity?

ANSWER: It’s very draining, this whole situation. I really wanna see everyone and get back to doing what I love but it’s all good as it’s making me hungry for what our future holds. Sneak peak of any new music you are currently doing/working on?

ANSWER: Its a waiting game, to know when we might be able to get back in with our producers but it’s coming for sure.

Positives and negatives of being in lockdown?

ANSWER: Positives are spending time with family and endless free time. The negatives are not seeing friend and not getting to see other members of my family.

Have you got any tips for people in lockdown?

ANSWER: Stay positive and remember there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Getting your hour of exercise is crucial and if your able to get outside during that hour, then all the better. Finally, where is the first place you’ll be going after lockdown has ended?

ANSWER: I turned 18 the day all pubs and bars closed so straight to the club for me. My perfect day would be rehearsal, livestream with the band and our core team and then a massive belated birthday celebration in a club.

AJ

We have been in lockdown for quite a while, have you prepared for this or are you just winging it as much as you can do?

ANSWER: Trying to teach myself my A-levels, which is so much harder than I thought it was. However I’m also spending some time with my family which is nice because usually we are all out at different times.

What has lockdown taught you in terms of personal and professional life?

ANSWER: The lockdown has taught me that it’s important to rest and look after yourself as well as making sure you are there for your friends who might me struggling.

Who are you in lockdown with and how are you keeping in contact with people who you’re not living with during this time?

ANSWER: Well most people have phones in this day and age so it’s easier to stay in contact through social media and video calls. It’s a shame though because you can’t give your best friends or loved ones a hug.

You’re a band and obviously gain inspiration from different things, presumably outside, where are you gaining inspiration from during this time?

ANSWER: I think because I’m at home a lot more I’m spending a lot more time on my phone and watching the TV and a lot of me inspiration is coming from social media or the telly. Last week I spoke to The Oxford Mail newspaper about tour involvement with the #KidsTogether Campaign for Nickelodeon UK. It was fun going over stuff we have achieved and it reminded me of what is to come in the future. I feel blessed to know I have me family supporting me in everything I want to do.

ANSWER: Hopefully yes, as soon as this lockdown is over (which I hope is soon) we will probably do our online sets which went down really well with our fans.

What are you doing during this time to pass the time?

Positives and negatives of being in lockdown?

ANSWER: A positive is that I’m able to slow down and look around and at myself and my health because I usually have a very fast life and don’t really stop. A negative is that I’m not able to see friends and family in person and it’s so frustrating not being able to go see them.

Have you got any tips for people in lockdown?

ANSWER: Use this time as a time of reflection on your life and your self. That’s what I’ve done.

Finally, where is the first place you’ll be going after lockdown has ended?

ANSWER:My Nan’s house because I miss her so much, then MCDONALD’S!!! Then onto a band rehearsal and catch up with everyone.

Ellie

q1. I’d say I’m definitely winging it day by day but i feel like I’m easily finding things to do to keep me occupied!

q2. I’ve mostly been doing school work 😦 But a lot of other things like baking, practising make up and searching new workouts on youtube!

q3. Lockdown has taught me to value things like spending time with family and friends and school alot more because I miss all of my family and the band so much. Being apart from people you love for so long is very hard!

q4. I am spending lockdown with my mum, dad and older brother! The one thing I am finding quite easy is keeping in contact with people because I’m always on facetime to my family and friends and doing zoom calls! And interacting with teachers online to help with the work.

q5. As a band we speak on our snapchat group chat all the time and just having a conversation with them motivates me to make a band TikTok or do a live stream ,which I love doing! It helps keep the fans also motivated which is very important to me! Seeing fans post pics wearing out Merch is so amazing. We are so thankful to have such amazing support.

q6. I have always loved doing my make up and always watch youtube videos on how to improve eye looks and I’ve had so much time to practise and learn new things which is so good. A new hobby is baking! I’ve been helping my mum make dinner and I’ve been baking cakes and cookies. I’ve really enjoy doing it!

q7. Our new tour dates have been released that I am so so excited about. I feel although it was so sad that the tour got cancelled midway through, we were able to really create a bond with all the new and existing fans over lockdown. With everyone at home I’ve really enjoyed doing live streams and speaking to the fans so much more than we have been able to before.

q8. I’m mainly on facetime to my family and friends talking to them while either doing my makeup or cleaning my room (which i’ve started to do more often too haha) Multi tasking is my new skill.

q9. I feel as though I’ve become a lot more interactive over social media with the fans and has made a big impact on me and I hope on them! Talking to new people is something I love and making bonds with them is even better! I feel this time in lockdown has given me so much more confidence to do all of that.

q10. We will be releasing our first ep very very soon and I’m so excited for everyone to hear our original music we’ve working on. Just need to be able to come together with our producers and then all will be revealed.

q11. The main positive in my opinion is that we are saving lives. By staying inside we are making people’s lives a lot less stressful and I can’t stress enough how happy it makes me. Anothre positive would be that we are having a lot more time to speak to fans on social media and create friendships with them 🙂 A big negative for me is that I can’t spend time with family and friends and I miss them all so much! It’s hard not seeing people that you would see all the time , especially my band mates.

q12. My main tip would be to try and stay as positive as possible because although we have to stay inside , we are saving lives and try to make that make you feel good❤️ And too also try and keep your self occupied by trying new hobbies and setting yourself goals! Use the time wisely. q13. I will definitely be visiting all of my family and friends 100% and i know I will be back at band rehearsing for tour straight away😆

Viacom International Studios to Take Raft of New Titles to New Markets

Viacom International Studios (VIS) has notched up three new distribution deals for It’s Pony, Nickelodeon International’s U.K.-originated series created by British animation veteran Ant Blades.


Storyboarded, designed and animated in the U.K. by Blue Zoo Productions, the first season of the 20×30-minute series has been acquired by three international free-to-air networks. The show will launch in fall 2020 on YLE2 (Finland), Televisa’s Canal 5 (Mexico) and Teleamazonas (Ecuador). The series debuted on Nickelodeon USA on Saturday, January 18, 2020, and is now currently rolling out onto Nickelodeon channels globally.

VIS has also added the distribution rights for new series to its children’s slate. These include Greenhouse Academy, Spell Keepers, Craft Party Israel and The Hood, produced by Israeli-based Nutz Productions; Craft Party UK, produced by KI UK, and Forever, produced by Israeli-based Tedy Productions; as well as IB the Dog, a Danish preschool animation produced by Minicosmos, and Christmas-themed game-show Top Elf, produced for Nickelodeon by Ugly Brother Studios and Main Event Media, which was recently greenlit for season two.

Greenhouse Academy is Netflix's U.S./global remake of Nickelodeon Israel's hit The Greenhouse, whilst Spell Keepers, Craft Party Israel, The Hood and Forever have also aired on Nickelodeon channels in Israel.

The cast of The Greenhouse recently returned to make a coronavirus-themed miniseries.

Lauren Marriott, Vice President (VP) of international content sales at VIS, said: “All these titles bring different dimensions to our already rich kids’ catalog. With children of all ages at home and needing additional content to consume right now, we’re proud to be able to offer something new and entertaining for every age group.”

It’s Pony, la nueva serie de Nickelodeon International, llega a Latinoamérica y Finlandia

Viacom International Studios (VIS) confirmó tres nuevos acuerdos de distribución para It’s Pony, la reciente serie animada de Nickelodeon International, desarrollada en Reino Unido, y lanzada recientemente en Nickelodeon US. El show se convirtió en el debut con mayor rating del canal desde The Loud House en 2016.

It’s Pony fue creada por el experto en animación Ant Blades, guionada, diseñada y animada en el Reino Unido por Blue Zoo Productions Ltd. La primera temporada (20x’30) fue adquirida recientemente por las señales internacionales de televisión abierta YLE2 (Finlandia), Canal 5 de Televisa (México) y Teleamazonas (Ecuador) para ser transmitida hacia fines del 2020.

Inspirada en un corto presentado en el Programa Internacional de Cortos Animados 2015 de Nickelodeon, It’s Pony sigue las aventuras de Annie y su mejor amiga, una pony entusiasta, impredecible y despreocupada. Juntas, con su optimismo y alegría convierten cualquier situación en una experiencia extraordinaria.

Por otra parte, VIS adquirió los derechos de distribución de siete nuevas producciones para el segmento infantojuvenil, estas son Greenhouse Academy, Rising, Spell Keepers, Craft Party Israel y The Hood, producidas por Nutz Productions (Israel); Craft Party UK, producida por KI UK; y Forever producida por Tedy Productions (Israel); como también IB the Dog, una serie animada de origen danés para niños en edad prescolar, producida por Minicosmos y el game show navideño Top Elf, producido por Ugly Brother Studios & Main Event Media para Nickelodeon.

‘Todos estos títulos aportan de diferente modo a nuestro amplio portfolio para niños. Con menores de todas las edades en casa y que necesitan contenido adicional para aprovechar en este momento, estamos orgullosos de poder ofrecer algo nuevo y entretenido para cada rango de edad’, comentó Lauren Marriott, Vice President, International Content Sales, VIS.

From TVPRODUCCIÓN:

TV Latina Screenings: Federico Cuervo de ViacomCBS International Studios

Con la amplia capacidad de producción de ViacomCBS International Studios (VIS), Federico Cuervo, VP sénior y director de la compañía, explica cómo se están preparando para retomar los proyectos que la empresa estaba y estará desarrollando, así como la creciente demanda de contenidos.

La pandemia del Covid-19 que llevó a la disrupción de la vida diaria, expandió su daño colateral también a los negocios de la industria televisiva, provocando la cancelación de eventos, así como la paralización de diversas grabaciones y rodajes.

“Desde VIS, al igual que en todo ViacomCBS, hemos priorizado la salud de nuestros colaboradores, mientras mantenemos nuestros negocios operativos”, explica Federico Cuervo, VP sénior y director de VIS. “Como todas las compañías estamos acomodando nuestros planes para un escenario nuevo y absolutamente atípico. En relación con los contenidos, esta coyuntura nos ha permitido focalizarnos en el desarrollo. En este momento tenemos varios proyectos nuevos y listos para comenzar a producir apenas se normalice la situación sanitaria, junto a aquellos que ya habíamos comenzado. En relación con el negocio mantuvimos el mismo vínculo, pero a la distancia, con nuestros socios y clientes”.

La compañía es reconocida, no sólo por su calidad y variedad de contenidos, sino también por el trabajo que realizan en múltiples territorios al mismo tiempo, incrementando su capacidad de respuesta no sólo para sus propios canales, sino también en materia de coproducciones y realizaciones para terceros.

“Estamos trabajando en distintas producciones en diferentes territorios al mismo tiempo”, dice el ejecutivo. “Algunas, que habían comenzado a rodarse antes de la llegada de la pandemia se vieron momentáneamente interrumpidas y se retomarán apenas se normalice la situación. Otras, que estaban a punto de arrancar, están avanzando en aquellos aspectos que se pueden resolver virtualmente, como definición de planes, cierres de acuerdo y contratos, etc.”.

Cuervo explica que para los L.A. Screenings virtuales trazaron una propuesta sostenida sobre tres pilares: La primera de ellas son las nuevas producciones, entre las cuales destacan Los Internacionales, thriller de ocho episodios, grabado en Bogotá y Buenos Aires, en asociación con Mediapro, Flow y Olympusat; R, una comedia negra de 10 capítulos rodada en México, protagonizada por Mauricio Ochmann en coproducción con ClaroVideo y Pantaya; Ana, la comedia escrita, dirigida y protagonizada por Ana de la Reguera, pre-vendida a Amazon y Pantaya; y la segunda temporada de N00bees, la novela adolescente en coproducción con Mediapro.

“El segundo pilar está conformado por los contenidos de nuestras marcas donde se destaca el formato America’s Most Musical Family de Nickelodeon y el catálogo de Awesomeness TV para jóvenes adultos”, agrega el ejecutivo. “Y, por último, los nuevos desarrollos originales, muchos de los cuales están asociados a los talentos con los cuales hemos firmado los acuerdos de primera ventana que anunciamos en NATPE”.

Frente al posible incremento en la demanda de producción y contenido que se aproxima, Cuervo comenta que, “en VIS ya estamos trabajando y diseñando los esquemas para definir la manera en las que vamos a retomar las producciones y comenzar con aquellas producciones de los nuevos desarrollos. Todos nuestros equipos panregionales están trabajando de forma remota en esos planes. Definitivamente, el regreso nos obligará a disponer de distintos equipos funcionando en paralelo en diferentes países para poder avanzar y cumplir con todos los proyectos, siempre cumpliendo con los nuevos protocolos de seguridad que hemos puesto en su lugar”.

En relación con la creciente demanda que tanto los canales como los servicios de streaming han estado experimentando, el ejecutivo reafirma que, “casi todas las señales lineales y las plataformas de streaming tuvieron un notable aumento de demanda por parte de los usuarios. Pero en poco tiempo van a necesitar nuevos contenidos para satisfacer la demanda. De alguna manera, esto plantea un horizonte auspicioso para la industria. Por lo que estimamos que el regreso paulatino a la situación de normalidad impactará positivamente generando seguramente muchas más oportunidades de negocios”.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated - Boss Fight Trailer

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated - Boss Fight Trailer


There's evil afoot! Not only is Bikini Bottom being attacked by an army of evil robots, SpongeBob and his friends also have to face old enemies and gigantic, evil robo-versions of themselves! EVIL!!

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated releases on June 23, 2020!

Digital pre-order is now available for PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. PlayStation 4 will follow at a later date. Physical pre-order is now available for all platforms!

Get it here: https://rehydrated.thqnordic.com/#order-here

ABOUT THIS GAME

Are you ready, kids? The cult classic is back, faithfully remade in spongetastic splendor! Play as SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy and show the evil Plankton that crime pays even less than Mr. Krabs. Want to save Bikini Bottom from lots of rampant robots with your mighty bubbles? Of course you do! Want to underpants bungee jump? Why wouldn't you! Want to join forces in a brand new multiplayer mode? The battle is on!

GAME FEATURES

- Play as SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy and use their unique sets of skills
- Thwart Plankton's evil plan to rule Bikini Bottom with his army of wacky robots
- Meet countless characters from the beloved series

REMAKE FEATURES

- Faithful remake of one of the best SpongeBob games ever created
- High-end visuals, modern resolutions and carefully polished gameplay
- Brand new horde mode multiplayer for up to two players, online and splitscreen
- Restored content that was cut from the original game like the Robo Squidward boss fight and more

The remastered version of SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom is the first game from THQ Nordic's partnership with Nickelodeon, which will see the video game publisher re-release fan-favorite video games inspired by beloved Nickelodeon properties such as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Back at the Barnyard, Catscratch, Danny Phantom, El Tigre, Invader Zim, Jimmy Neutron, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Rocket Power, Rocko’s Modern Life, Rugrats, SpongeBob SquarePants, Tak and the Power of JuJu, The Fairly OddParents (US only), The Ren & Stimpy Show, and The Wild Thornberrys.

From TheGamer:

The Classic Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom Trailer Features Unreleased Content

Rehydrated will allegedly include some content that was intended to be in the original release in 2003.

The June 23rd release date for Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated is coming up quickly, and fans of the lovable yellow sponge should be excited for what the remaster will have to offer. Not only will the game feature "high-end visuals" and "modern resolutions," Rehydrated will also allegedly include some content that was intended to be in the original release in 2003, but ended up being cut from the final product (DLC wasn’t exactly a “thing” back then).

While a new trailer this week featured some of the major boss battles that players will be taking on, it turns out that a Robo Squirdward boss fight is also being restored in this version. It makes sense that a mechanized Squidward will be making an appearance, considering the fact that - from the trailer footage - Spongebob will be reintroduced to a Robo Sandy Cheeks, Patrick Star, and karate-gear clad version of Spongebob himself.

Rehydrated will also feature an all-new Horde mode for up to two players that will be available both locally and online, which should add immense value to the game’s overall replayability.

Besides the newly-added content and multiplayer mode, the updated visuals alone should warrant interest from fans of the animated series. It probably depends on the person as to whether or not the original 2003 version holds up now, but Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated seems like it is going to be - at the very least - a fantastic trip down memory lane. Especially for those of us who grew up with Spongebob since his first episode premiered on Nickelodeon in 1999.

Lauv and Sofia Reyes to Perform on New 'All That' Episode, Premiering Saturday, May 16, 2020 on Nickelodeon

All That is serving up the laughs in the next brand new episode, premiering Saturday, May 16, 2020 at 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT) following an all new The Loud House at 8, only on Nickelodeon USA! Check out the trailer below!:


In All New All That Episode 1126: Coach Kreeton teaches pingpong; music video parody "Yummy"; the kids get trapped in a never-ending TikTok dance; Tammy TMI is interviewed on live television; a new way to get ready for the day. Performance by Lauv and Sofia Reyes. (#1126)


Trapped In A Tik Tok Dance! | All That


The All That crew is stuck in a Tik Tok dance! Uh oh, how will they escape from the awesome dance in this All That sketch!?

Kate Godfrey steps into Justin Bieber‘s shoes for an all new parody for All That!

The young actress performed a new version of his comeback single “Yummy“, where “Justin” sings an ode to school hot lunches and his gratitude for the ladies who serve them.

Just Jared Jr. spoke to Kate about getting the chance to play Justin Bieber in a sketch.

“Playing Justin Bieber was definitely one of my favorite characters I have played on All That. Ever since I was little I have loved listening to Justin Bieber, but I definitely never thought I would get to do an impression of him,” Kate dished. “I watched the original “Yummy” music video about 50 times to study his movements and facial expressions.”

“My favorite part about filming this sketch was learning the dance,” she added. “The dancers who were in the video were so kind and supportive, and they made the sketch even more fun to film. Chris Judd, who choreographed the video, is always really fun to work with.”

Other sketches featured in the episode include: Coach Kreeton (Kel Mitchell) teaches ping pong; the kids get trapped in a never ending TikTok dance; Tammy TMI is interviewed on live television; and a new way to get ready for the day: the Human Car Wash. The episode also features a performance by Lauv of his hit song “El Tejano.”

Tune in to watch “Yummy” and more sketches in an all new All That THIS Saturday (May 16) at 8:30pm ET/PT on Nickelodeon!
