Nicktoons Global to Premiere 'Pinky Malinky' On April 20

Clap your hands and stamp your feet, it's time to meet Pinky Malinky!

Pinky Malinky

Nicktoons Global is set to premiere Pinky Malinky on Monday 20th April 2026, our friends over at Insidus are reporting!

NickToons Global is available in Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, Adria countries (Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia), Africa, Turkey, Arabia, France (as Nickelodeon Toon), across Asia. and more.

Pinky Malinky is a fly-on-the-wall reality show that follows the everyday life of Pinky, an infectiously positive hot dog living in a human world. With his best friends Babs and JJ by his side, Pinky reaches for the stars in the small town of Sackenhack. Through his good spirits and sausage sensibilities, Pinky proves that a "wiener" is only one small letter away from being a "WINNER!"

"Pinky Malinky is an infectiously positive, optimistic 12-year-old middle school student who just happens to be a walking, talking hot dog. He lives in the town of Sackenhack and sees the bright side of everything — even being born a hot dog. The show follows his everyday life and misadventures as he tries to climb the social ladder, pursue big ideas, and navigate typical kid problems alongside his two best friends (BFFs)."

Produced by Nickelodeon, the series was originally greenlit for its linear channels, however, Nickelodeon sold the rights to Netflix in 2018 as part of Paramount's (then called Viacom) initiate to identify intellectual property within it vaults that could be an ideal fit for a digital or linear programmer outside of the company. The series then premiered as a Netflix Original (although still carrying the Nickelodeon branding), with Part One being released on Tuesday, January 1, 2019, followed by Part Two on April 22, 2019, and Part Three on July 17, 2019. As part of the Netflix partnership, the streamer has bowed several Nickelodeon series and movies, including Glitch Techs, Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, and Invader ZIM: Enter the Florpus.

However all three Parts of Pinky Malinky are set to leave Netflix on Friday, July 17, 2026.

Using the tropes of a mockumentary and reality show format, Pinky and his friends will talk directly to the camera and the audience to share their absurd and silly take on real life. At times, all children feel like they don't fit in and Pinky's undeniably unique point of view as a literal wiener amongst humans will allow kids to laugh at his familiar struggles and enjoy his unusual perspective on the challenges of being a school-aged kid. By always reaching for the stars, Pinky pushes himself further than anyone could imagine. Pinky and his friends' humorous experiences will also be shared across social media and Nickelodeon's digital platforms.

Co-created and co-executive produced by Chris Garbutt and Rikke Asbjoern (The Amazing World of Gumball) and executive produced by Scott Kreamer (Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness), the trio were part of the Artist Collective, an internal diverse group of experienced creators who mentored and supported up-and-coming talent while also collaborating to cultivate, challenge and inspire Nickelodeon's development pipeline.

Pinky Malinky stars Lucas Grabeel (Glenn Martin DDS, I Kissed A Vampire) as Pinky Malinky, Diamond White (The Haunted Hathaways) as Babs Buttman, and Nathan Kress (iCarly) as JJ Jameson.

Under the deal with Netflix, Nickelodeon produced two seasons — 59 episodes — of Pinky Malinky for the streaming service.

The news follows Sharkdog, which, produced Paramount for Netflix, also airs on Nickelodeon's international channels. Oddly, Pinky Malinky did have a small premiere on Nickelodeon, when it randomly started airing on Nickelodeon in Spain in December 2023.

First Look At 'PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie' Toys Unveiled

PAWsome first look at PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie toys featuring the transforming Dino Mobile HQ, Rocky's new vehicle, and a 2-foot inflatable dino.

'PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie' Toys

The PAW Patrol is set to roar back onto the big screen later this year, and to celebrate, Spin Master has unveiled dino-tastic first look at two major toys from PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, which you can check out below, courtesy of ScreenRant!

The Dino Mobile HQ and Rocky’s Megasaurus Dino Vehicle offer an early glimpse at the prehistoric-scale action awaiting the pups in their biggest big screen mission yet. While much of the upcoming toy line is still under wraps, these first reveals showcase the scope, bigger rescues, and dinosaur-sized surprises that define the upcoming third movie that will finally introduce Rex, a fan-favorite pup from the PAW Patrol TV series, to the big screen.

Spin Master will showcase the full PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie line at Toy Fair in New York this weekend, with additional reveals expected ahead of the film’s theatrical release this summer. They note that elements like the transforming HQ, launcher ramp, and inflatable dinosaur are meant to reflect the movie’s large-scale rescues and dinosaur encounters.

The Dino Mobile HQ Transforms Into A Command Center

Leading the lineup is the Dino Mobile HQ, a 2-in-1 vehicle that transforms into the film’s headquarters. By detaching and lifting the HQ portion, the truck converts into the movie’s iconic command center. Think of it as the Dino-themed PAW Patroller for the threequel.

This cool set includes Chase, his vehicle, and a ramp launcher that sends him racing into action. It is also compatible with theme and basic vehicles, expanding the rescue and crossover possibilities for kids building out their collection. This HQ set features lights, sounds, and detailed sculpting inspired by the film.

The Dino Mobile HQ is recommended for ages 3 and up and will retail for $79.99.

The second reveal delivers one of the line’s biggest surprises for my personal favorite pup. Rocky’s Megasaurus Dino Vehicle includes a 2-foot inflatable dinosaur that pops out when kids press the truck’s light bar.

The inflatable dino is designed to be ridden, squished, and played with before being packed back into the truck and reinflated again. Complete with movie-inspired sounds, the vehicle aims to recreate the larger-than-life scale of the film’s prehistoric setting.

The Megasaurus Dino Vehicle will retail for $64.99 and is also recommended for ages 3 and up.

“Our toy design teams have turned PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie’s cinematic magic into hands-on play,” said Doug Wadleigh, Spin Master’s President of Toys, noting that the collection features surprising inflatable elements and dynamic transformations that mirror the movie’s action.

Don't lose it, reuse it!

While we don't have plot details for the film, each PAW Patrol movie thus far centers on one of the pups to explore their backstory and journey to joining Ryder's team of rescuers. The first movie focused on Chase, the second on Skye, and director Cal Brunker and co-writer Bob Barlen have confirmed to ScreenRant that the third will do the same for another character. Since we're debuting a big new vehicle for Rocky, maybe it's his turn for the spotlight.

What PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie Is About

PAW Patrol Dino Movie Toy Reveals

The official PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie synopsis reads:

After their ship gets caught in a mysterious storm, the PAW Patrol pups crash land on an uncharted tropical island filled with dinosaurs. They meet Rex, a pup who has been stranded on the island for years and has become an expert in all things dino-related. When the PAW Patrol's archrival, Mayor Humdinger, begins recklessly mining in hopes of exploiting the island for its natural resources, he inadvertently causes a huge, dormant volcano to erupt. The PAW Patrol pups are thrown into a series of high-stakes, dino-sized rescues bigger than anything they've done before, as they must stop Humdinger before everything on the island goes extinct.

The PAW Patrol franchise first introduced dinosaurs in its season 7 Dino Rescue episodes where the team first met new pup Rex and each got new dinosaur-themed vehicles, the toys packaged with toy dinosaurs. Given the design choices of these two vehicles, it appears the film adaptation may be embracing more practical mission-specific designs vs. trying to look like dinosaurs themselves. We can't wait to see what Rex gets.

The full PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie toy collection will hit major retailers on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, with the film arriving exclusively in theaters on Friday, August 14, 2026. The movie will be distributed by Elevation Pictures in Canada and Paramount Pictures in the rest of the world.

Between a transforming mobile headquarters, a launcher built for high-speed rescues, and a two-foot inflatable dinosaur, PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie is scaling up the film's action and toy line in a major way. If these first toys are any indication, the franchise’s prehistoric era is not just bigger, it is designed to feel larger than life both on screen and on the playroom floor.

PAW Patrol fans can stream full PAW Patrol episodes and movies, including The Mighty Movie, on Paramount+. Try it today at ParamountPlus.com.

Judith Hoag Reveals She Was Approached to Feature In Paramount's Shelved 'TMNT: The Last Ronin' Movie

A live-action, R-rated adaptation of a fan-favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book, The Last Ronin was hotly anticipated by fans before its development was shut down last year. Now, it's been revealed that an original TMNT movie star was set to star before the hammer came down.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The franchise's first live-action April O'Neil, Judith Hoag, recently appeared at Big Lick Comic-Con in Roanoke, VA, where she shared some interesting news about the now-cancelled movie. During a panel moderated by Collider's Maggie Lovitt, Hoag revealed that she had been approached to appear in The Last Ronin film adaptation before it was shelved.

Hoag revealed her involvement in the film during a panel with fellow TMNT star Ernie Reyes Jr., who portrayed Keno in its sequel, Secret of the Ooze. She expressed hope that the project might eventually be revived, as well:

"Yes, I've been approached, and I'd be happy. It would be a great bookend for me. And maybe that happens and maybe it doesn't. We'll see."

Hoag was emphatic in her praise of the comics series, calling it "a wonderful story," and suggested that the Paramount executives who cancelled the project didn't understand the fans of the property: "Maybe you need to go to a comic con and spend some time with the fans."

What Is 'The Last Ronin'?

Based on a story treatment written back in 1987 by original TMNT creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, The Last Ronin was expanded into a full comic book miniseries in 2020 with Eastman on scripting duties with Tom Waltz; it was drawn by Esau and Isaac Escorza, Ben Bishop, and Eastman. It tells the tale of a future New York City ruled by Oroku Hiroto, the grandson of the Shredder, and his synthetic Foot Clan ninjas. Splinter, Casey Jones, and three of the Ninja Turtles are all dead, leaving only one Turtle to oppose the Foot; it is eventually revealed which Turtle brother became a grim warrior. He eventually joins forces with an aged April O'Neil and her daughter, Casey Marie Jones, who are part of a resistance movement, to avenge his family and liberate the city.

Following its success, a prequel/sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin - Lost Years was released in 2023, and follows Michelangelo's training leading up to his confrontation with Hiroto interspliced with Casey Marie Jones mentoring the next generation of Turtles (Odyn, Moja, Uno, and Yi).

In July 2023, a sequel was announced, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin II - Re-Evolution, which follows the events of The Last Ronin and The Lost Years as Odyn, Moja, Uno, and Yi protect the streets of New York with their sensei, Casey Marie Jones. The series ended with the tragic death of another beloved character.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin III has been speculated, but has yet to be formally announced. The Last Ronin series has been officially dubbed the Roninverse.

A video game adaptation of the first The Last Ronin series is also in development at THQ Nordic.

The live-action Last Ronin film was first announced to be in development in 2024, and Ilya Naishuller (Nobody) was in talks to direct. However, following the Paramount-Skydance merger in 2025, The Last Ronin was quietly shut down in favor of a new, more family-friendly Ninja Turtles film. It will be produced by Neal H. Moritz and is said to be more in line with his successful Sonic the Hedgehog films.
