Nickelodeon Polska z kampanią-Super Ja

Stacja wystartowała z wyjątkową akcją, w której przedstawia dzieci z niezwykłymi pasjami. Materiały video emitowane są na antenie Nickelodeon oraz dostępne na platformach stacji w mediach społecznościowych

W kampanii “Super Ja!” Nickelodeon oddaje swoją antenę niezwykle uzdolnionym dzieciom, pragnąc zainspirować swoich młodych widzów do realizacji swoich, również nietypowych, pasji. W serii spotów, opartych na amerykańskiej akcji „Extraordinary Me”, stacja zaprezentuje dwoje uzdolnionych nastolatków, którzy ze szczególną determinacją poświęcają się swoim zainteresowaniom i odnoszą pierwsze sukcesy.

Bohaterką pierwszej odsłony kampanii jest 10-letnia Nelly – skateboardzistka, która mimo młodego wieku wykonuje skomplikowane triki i jest członkiem kadry Juniorów reprezentacji Polski. Dziewczynka znakomicie odnajduje się i realizuje w, wydawałoby się, typowo męskim sporcie.

Następnie widzowie stacji poznają Nikodema – wszechstronnie uzdolnionego 12-latka, absolwenta szkoły muzycznej I stopnia, grającego m. in na fortepianie i perkusji. Chłopiec profesjonalnie trenuje wspinaczkę panelową i hoduje jeże karłowate.

Celem kampanii “Super Ja!” jest wsparcie i promocja młodych talentów, ukazanie ich niezwykłych pasji oraz uporu i determinacji w dążeniu do celu. Materiały z udziałem Nelly i Nikodema emitowane są na antenie Nickelodeon Polska oraz na platformach stacji internecie.

ViacomCBS Launches TeenNick in Latin America

ViacomCBS Networks Américas today (Monday 14th September 2020) launched TeenNick Latin America (Latinoamérica)!


The channel replaces Nick 2 on the EPG. Nick 2 was a commercial-free secondary channel of Nickelodeon. The channel launched in 2015 as a replacement for Nickelodeon HD when Nickelodeon started to simulcast its main channel in HD.

The news follows ViacomCBS Networks Américas launching NickMusic earlier this month. However, it seems that TeenNick Latinoamérica is locally programmed instead of using the channel's U.S. feed, like NickMusic.


TeenNick is Nickelodeon's brand exclusively for and about teens and tweens that features a distinct perspective that connects its audience to the electricity and possibilities of teendom, anytime and anywhere, with original series and ever-popular favorites. TeenNick is available in more than 71 million households via cable, digital cable and satellite as well as on mobile, VOD and broadband. The channel mainly airs live-action programming.

From TV Laint:

TeenNick llega a Latinoamérica en reemplazo de Nick 2

Durante el día de hoy, ViacomCBS lanzó en Latinoamérica el canal TeenNick como reemplazo de Nick 2, esta vez con un feed propio para la región y no un feed compartido como ocurrió con NickMusic.

Nick 2 había nacido como reemplazo para la señal HD diferida de Nickelodeon para Latinoamérica, porque en el año 2015 se lanzaron señales HD simulcast para cada feed del canal.

Se desconoce la hora a la que sucedió el cambio, pero se muestra a continuación un video de muestra grabado desde el canal.

La propuesta de TeenNick es emitir contenido para los adolescentes de hoy en día, y su programación está mayormente compuesta por series live-action.

Seguiremos informando en caso de existir más novedades de los canales de ViacomCBS para nuestra región.

'The Legend of Korra' Star Zelda Williams Talks Kuvira's Origins and the Future of 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'

LEGEND OF KORRA STAR ZELDA WILIAMS TALKS KUVIRA'S ORIGINS AND AVATAR'S FUTURE

"I loved the Avatar series growing up, and to play a powerful, layered villainess in ANYTHING is a dream of mine."


In the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe, no villain is quite as fascinating as Kuvira.


The military leader turned fascist conqueror elevated The Legend of Korra's budget-strapped fourth and final season into an unforgettable showdown between the Avatar and her toughest enemy yet. But what even the most devoted fans may not realize, is that the voice behind Kuvira belongs to Zelda Williams — Robin Williams' daughter and an actor and director in her own right.

In an interview, Williams told Inverse how she came to voice Kuvira, how the role helped her overcome an insecurity from her childhood, her thoughts on Netflix's upcoming live-action adaptation, and more.

"The worlds created in Avatar and Korra are clearly tied to and inspired by cultural identities that aren’t mine," Williams says, "so I don’t think it’d make sense for me to take part in either."

If Netflix's live-action Avatar ever makes it to Kuvira's story, Zelda Williams may not be right for the part, but she'll always be Kuvira to fans. Read the full interview below.


Kuvira the Great Uniter. Nickelodeon

INVERSE: WHEN YOU INITIALLY GOT THE ROLE OF KUVIRA, DID YOU HESITATE AT ALL TO TAKE IT?

Zelda Williams: Hesitate? Not even remotely! I loved the Avatar series growing up, and to play a powerful, layered villainess in ANYTHING is a dream of mine.

WHILE RECORDING FOR SEASON 3, DID YOU KNOW YOU’D PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN SEASON 4? IF NOT, WHEN DID YOU FIND OUT?

They somewhat happened simultaneously in the booth, if I recall (though keep in mind this was a long time ago). That said, I was hired on the basis of the Season 4 arc, the Season 3 stuff was to Easter egg what was to come.

HAVE YOU NOTICED AN INCREASED INTEREST IN LEGEND OF KORRA THIS SUMMER NOW THAT BOTH SHOWS ARE ON NETFLIX?

I’m not on the internet much anymore, so I can’t say I see it too much in my day to day life, but I’ve noticed a resurgence in Kuvira questions and avatars when I do pop on, which is nice. It’s sometimes strange for me as we recorded it so many years ago now that it feels like a different life. Hell, my Dad was alive when I was recording it. But for others, it’s like it's brand new for them. That aspect is really interesting.

WHO’S YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER IN THE SERIES BESIDES KUVIRA, AND WHY?

Probably Toph. I’m a big fan of all the badass women in Avatar and Korra, but the fact she’s a bridge between both series, and just as sarcastic, dry, and casually powerful as an old lady, that really got me.


Kuvira meets Toph Beifong in 'The Legend of Korra.' Nickelodeon

WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS TO KUVIRA AFTER THE SERIES FINALE? AS THE ONLY VILLAIN WHO BOTH REPENTS AND SURVIVES, DO YOU THINK SHE’S REHABILITATED?

Haha, I mean, the comics touch on it already, so it's hard to put that aside, but I’d like to believe Kuvira is capable at least of atonement, and perhaps a life spent doing good for her people WITHOUT doing harm to others, I just don’t know how believable that is. I mean, I played her as emotionally grounded as I could while recording, but as a character, anyone who actively, fervently seeks enormous power tends to have some deep character flaws, and I’m not sure how ‘changeable’ those are. It’s easy to forget in the face of liking an animated character, but were this in the context of their world, she destroyed cities, put people in work camps, and probably killed a LOT of people. Not sure if there is actual tangible redemption for an individual guilty of that in any world aside from imaginary ones.

“I THINK SOME OF HER CORE BELIEFS WERE INITIALLY ADMIRABLE, BUT I REFUSE TO BELIEVE HER ACTIONS, IN THE END, WERE DEFENSIBLE.”

THERE’S A SEGMENT OF THE AVATAR FANBASE THAT ARGUES YOUR CHARACTER’S ACTIONS WERE DEFENSIBLE. DO YOU THINK KUVIRA WAS RIGHT? WRONG? OR SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN?

I think some of her core beliefs were initially admirable, but I refuse to believe her actions, in the end, were defensible. Kuvira may have started from a place of wanting to fix a broken feudal system and help her people, but she quickly became a blind nationalist dictator, putting dissenters into reeducation camps and using forced labor to support her war efforts. On top of that, while it's not blatantly seen in the show, most hostile militant takeovers (even in the pursuit of perceived unity), result in a lot of death, and I have to believe her hands were incredibly dirty. To me, even if you start a journey with unity in mind, if you end it valuing allegiance and fealty above all else, you’ve lost your way. Loving your people and country and wanting to unite them is great, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of all others, and that includes any of your own people who disagree with you.

THE EARTH KINGDOM IS AN INTERESTING STAND-IN FOR MULTIPLE NATIONS IN REAL-WORLD HISTORY. IT SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE A METAPHOR FOR CHINA, ESPECIALLY IN THE PORTRAYAL OF THE EARTH QUEEN AND THE DAI LI. IN SEASON 4, THE EARTH EMPIRE CAN ALSO FEEL LIKE A METAPHOR FOR NAZI GERMANY. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THOSE COMPARISONS? WAS IT SOMETHING YOU CONSIDERED WHILE PERFORMING THE ROLE?

Well, I’m in no way involved in the writing of the show so I can’t comment on where they were inspired to create her, but I can see where people are drawing those parallels. However, not unlike most of my cartoon jobs, I was mostly made aware of her arc on an episode-to-episode basis, so while I was working, it would’ve been very hard to have the read be too far-seeing. While I knew she was the ‘big bad’ of the season, I didn’t know much of her specific future actions in advance, so I tried to evolve with her with each new episode.

“I HAD NO INTEREST IN APPROACHING HER AS A CUT AND DRY VILLAIN.”

At the time of first recording, I knew Kuvira was a military leader, so on a nose to the page base level, I set out to play her core voice as commanding, persuasive, and fiercely capable. I had no interest in approaching her as a cut and dry ‘villain’ in the read, as I don’t think she was one in her own mind. From a purely work perspective, her voice is essentially my relaxed, unnervous speaking voice, but with more annunciation and orator projection pushed thru it, and looking back, I’m so glad I played it as such, both because I think it was well-received and because it instilled in me a new confidence in my actual speaking voice. Growing up, I was made fun of for my lower register by other kids, and so I had slowly stopped using it, opting instead to make my voice sound lighter and more feminine to avoid scrutiny. Even now, when I’m nervous or worried people will perceive my tone as harsh, I find myself reverting to that, but post-Kuvira, I found I was a lot more proud of my natural register and more confident using it again, and most of my characters since have involved some aspect of it. I’m enormously grateful to her for that.

IT’S NO SECRET THAT NICKELODEON CUT THE BUDGET FOR KORRA SEASON 4, RESULTING IN A CLIP SHOW EPISODE (“REMEMBRANCES”) AND THE USE OF STILL IMAGES IN THE MULTI-PART FINALE. THE SHOW WAS ALSO MOVED FROM TV TO ONLINE STREAMING. WERE YOU AWARE OF THESE ISSUES?

Nope. I was a voice actor who was hired, and a guest one in a late season at that, so I was a cog in a larger machine that had been running long before me, I didn’t know any different. From inside the booth, all I saw was a wonderful script in front of me and a happy, positive work environment that I looked forward to every time they called me in. I mean, I got to sit next to some of the most talented voice artists in the industry and across a pane of glass from the incomparable Andrea Romano on the regular on my first ever gig as a voice actor. The rest of the building could’ve been burning down and I don’t think I would’ve known, I was so stoked!


Kuvira first appears in 'Korra' Season 3 before becoming the main villain in Season 4. Nickelodeon

THERE’S A LOT OF EXCITEMENT FOR NETFLIX’S LIVE-ACTION ADAPTATION OF THE LAST AIRBENDER. WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY A ROLE IN IT? IS THERE ANY CHARACTER FROM ATLA YOU’D WANT TO PLAY? OR DO YOU THINK THEY COULD INCORPORATE KUVIRA INTO THAT STORY?

While I am part Asian on my mom’s side (Filipino), the worlds created in Avatar and Korra are clearly tied to and inspired by cultural identities that aren’t mine, so I don’t think it’d make sense for me to take part in either. I know there are some folks out there who want me to play Kuvira if there were ever a live-action remake, and I remember thinking how much she looked like my mom when I got the part, but yeah, it’s a tricky conversation, and thankfully on my part, a purely hypothetical one. I doubt I’ll ever be put in that position. I also have never even really understood Hollywood’s need to ‘live-action’ remake popular cartoons and anime, they’re often so wonderful exactly how they are. But to each their own!

“I ALSO HAVE NEVER EVEN REALLY UNDERSTOOD HOLLYWOOD’S NEED TO ‘LIVE-ACTION’ REMAKE POPULAR CARTOONS AND ANIME, THEY’RE OFTEN SO WONDERFUL EXACTLY HOW THEY ARE.”

SERIES CREATORS MICHAEL DANTE DIMARTINO AND BRYAN KONIETZKO RECENTLY ANNOUNCED THEY’RE NO LONGER INVOLVED WITH THE NETFLIX SHOW. DO YOU THINK THE SERIES CAN BE GOOD WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL CREATORS?

I mean, I’m not involved at all, and considering that it still seems like it's in a gestational stage of pre-production, no one can really say if something is going to be good or bad yet, as that’s like trying to figure out if a kid is going to be inherently evil before their parents are even pregnant! I will say I loved working in a world created by Bryan and Michael, and I think anyone would be lucky to do so, so if anything, it’s a bummer we won’t get to see that.

“I LOVED WORKING IN A WORLD CREATED BY BRYAN AND MICHAEL, AND I THINK ANYONE WOULD BE LUCKY TO DO SO, SO IF ANYTHING, IT’S A BUMMER WE WON’T GET TO SEE THAT.”

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER MEMORIES FROM WORKING ON THE LEGEND OF KORRA?

I just gotta give a shout out to Andrea Romano again. To have gotten to spend my first ever cartoon job under her wonderful wing (and my second one after that!) was a truly special experience, and I’m forever grateful for it. She directed with so much humor, insight, and skill I’ll honestly never forget it. She started off my cartoon career with so much positivity, and it inspired in me what I hope will be a lifelong passion. Also, the recording process under her usually involved multiple people in the booth together, something I’ve since come to realize is not all that common, but made the reads so wonderfully collaborative and fun and introduced me to so many friends and mentors alike. Thanks Andrea!

Nick Jr. Russia Premieres 'The Adventures of Paddington'

Nick Jr. Russia (Россия) today, Monday 17th August 2020 premiered Nickelodeon's brand-new CG-animated preschool series The Adventures of Paddington at 8:40 MCK! Following launch, new episodes of The Adventures of Paddington, locally titled Приключения Паддингтона, will air daily at 8:40, 15:25 and 20:40 MCK.


Below is ViacomCBS Networks Россия's official press release announcing the PAWsome news!:

МЕДВЕЖОНОК ПАДДИНГТОН ВЕРНЕТСЯ НА ЭКРАНЫ В АНИМАЦИИ — НОВЫЙ МУЛЬТСЕРИАЛ ПОКАЖЕТ NICK JR.

17 августа телеканал Nick Jr. представит премьеру нового мультсериала «Приключения Паддингтона» о вежливом медвежонке, который отправился в Лондон, чтобы повидать мир. Это третья анимационная экранизация книг британского писателя Майкла Бонда, признанного классика детской литературы

Мультсериал расскажет историю знакомства Паддингтона с семьей Браун, приютившей его во время их первой встречи на вокзале в Лондоне. Медвежонку предстоит многое узнать о человеческом быте и привыкнуть к жизни в большом городе. Своими открытиями и впечатлениями он будет делиться в письмах к своей тетушке Люси.

Трудолюбивый и отзывчивый, Паддингтон постарается стать полноценной частью своей новой семьи и быть полезным в делах по дому. Например, в первых сериях мультсериала он с радостью почистит велосипед мистера Брауна, помоет полы и даже поклеит обои. В последствии окажется, что он перепутал свой список дел со списками других членов семьи, что приведет к забавной ситуации.

В другой серии Паддингтон приютит случайно залетевшего в дом голубя, а когда птенец окрепнет и захочет улететь на волю, медвежонку будет сложно с ним расстаться. В конечном итоге он отпустит нового друга, ведь нужно уметь отпускать тех, кто нам дорог. Из любой ситуации Паддингтон выносит для себя определенный урок, о котором подробно рассказывает тетушке Люси. Так на своем примере он помогает юным зрителям разобраться в понятиях дружбы, взаимовыручки, заботы и любви.

«Приключения Паддингтона» — это третий мультсериал, снятый на основе классических детских книг Майкла Бонда. Первая экранизация по книгам писателя вышла в 1976 году, а вторая — в 1997 году. В 11 эпизодах, которые телеканал Nick Jr. покажет в России, создатели Адам Шоу и Крис Дрю представят новую версию приключений персонажа в формате красочной CG-анимации.

Смотрите мультсериал «Приключения Паддингтона» в эфире Nick Jr. с 17 августа в 8:40, 15:25 и 20:40 по московскому времени.

Update (15/9) - In additional news, Nick Jr. Россия wants to expand its NICK JR В КИНО theatrical release program! From kinometro.ru:

Альманах ЩЕНЯЧИЙ ПАТРУЛЬ в 2019 году превратился для «Пионера» в одного из главных и бесперебойных поставщиков кассы. Как в вашем пакете появился этот проект? Будете ли вы и дальше развивать направление анимационных альманахов?

Проект NICK JR В КИНО стал для нас и всей индустрии крайне важной историей, поэтому, конечно, мы продолжим с ним работать. Соглашение по ЩЕНЯЧЬЕМУ ПАТРУЛЮ и другим сериалам, которые входят в этот проект, с каналом Nickelodeon «Пионеру» удалось достичь более года назад. Выпуск NICK JR В КИНО представляется нам крайне удачным форматом во всех отношениях, в чем с нами согласны кинотеатры. Это очень узнаваемый бренд, который отличается завидным уровнем качества, у серий очень удобный хронометраж, они выходят регулярно, раз в месяц, при этом обязательно раньше, чем те же серии будут показаны самим телеканалом. За счет такого удачного программирования у каждого выпуска очень высокие наработки. Поэтому мы хотим расширять и количество сеансов, и количество задействованных площадок, так как потенциал проекта явно еще не выработан. Мы получаем от кинотеатров очень много запросов по возобновлению показов, и мы их обязательно возобновим – скорее всего уже осенью.

Nickelodeon Arabia Introduces a Special Back-to-School TV Schedule for UAE Families

Two brand-new kids TV series are included in the September line-up


Nickelodeon Arabia (جَزِيرَةُ الْعَرَب) has unveiled its kid-friendly line-up for September 2020, which includes two brand-new TV series!

The special back to school schedule takes place each week Sunday through Thursday from 6pm.

The line-up includes a brand-new comic action-adventure series called Spyders, which airs Thursday to Sunday at 6.50pm.

The show, produced in Israel for Nickelodeon International, ​features siblings Tommy, Nikki, and Daniel Fisher who – on discovering that their seemingly boring parents are actually daring undercover spies failing in their latest mission – create a secret task force called The Spyders.

Fans of Are you Afraid of the Dark, can settle down every Friday to watch the spooky show's revival at 6pm – make sure you've got a cushion or two to hide behind!

NickToons Arabia will also be treating viewers to a brand-new series, Dorg Van Dango, the story of a normal kid with four magical best friends who disguise themselves as teens and try to help Dorg navigate ordinary life.

Little viewers can catch the premiere on Saturday September 13 at 8.10pm on NickToons with episodes running every Saturday and Sunday at the same time after that.

In addition, NickToons is showcasing a The Loud House marathon complete with new footage and classic scenes on Saturday September 26 at 2pm.

Tiny tots will we be able to catch up with Chase and pups on Nick Jr. Arabia in Paw Patrol every Saturday at 2pm, while the latest season of the animated preschool adventure-comedy Rusty Rivets is on TV Monday to Friday at 6.45pm.

Rusty Rivets features Rusty, a ten-year-old designer, creator, and do-it-yourselfer who solves problems using ingenuity and wild, innovative inventions.

The youngest family members can also catch the latest season of Top Wing every day from Monday September 14 at 6.05pm as well as new episodes of Bubble Guppies every day from Monday September 21 at 1pm.

Happy watching.
