"Future Disruptors" Premieres at the Comedy Store Sunday, June 25, 2017: Nickelodeon, Disney Stars and Others Sing & Dance to Benefit Music Education


Hosted by Savoir Agency with proceeds going to Ovation Music Fund 501(c)(3); Inaugural Event Marks Launch of Series of Events Celebrating Youth & the Arts



LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - June 14, 2017) - An array of young stars from hit Disney Channel and Nickelodeon shows, along with other young musical and dance artists, will be performing a concert on Sunday, June 25th from 1:30 - 4 PM at The Comedy Store in Hollywood, CA. The original showcase of rising talent, produced by Savoir Agency, is the start of a movement designed to inspire parents, help children find their creative voice, and combat the under-funding of the Arts in schools. This inaugural event, "Future Disruptors," is a fundraiser for the Ovation Music Fund, and is open to guests of all ages. Tickets for the fundraiser can be purchased for $60 General Admission or $120 VIP at www.futuredisruptors.com.

The day will be filled with live music and performances by the best and brightest shining stars in Hollywood. Headlining will be Heffron Drive, featuring Kendall Schmidt (Big Time Rush) and Dustin Belt, with Demian Arriaga on percussion.

Confirmed performances include:
Asher Angel of Disney Channel's Andi Mack
Sean Ryan Fox of Nickelodeon's Henry Danger
Ricardo Hurtado of Nickelodeon's School of Rock
Megan Lee of Nickelodeon's Make It Pop
Lance Lim of Nickelodeon's School of Rock
Ruby Rose Turner of Netflix's Fuller House

Additionally, there will be student performances from the Get Down District hip-hop dance troupe, and a student band from Burbank Music Academy. Center Staging will sponsor the top-of-the-line backline and sound equipment for the musical performances.

A limited number of VIP ticketholders will be able to attend a meet & greet with the performers after the show, including taking photos with the talent. They will also be able to walk the red carpet, receive priority reserved seating, early entry, an autographed poster, and a gift bag.

The musical performances will be directed by Demian Arriaga, who has worked with The Jonas Brothers, Victoria Justice, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande and more. The host will be Harmonie Krieger -- a seasoned TV Host, Lifestyle Expert, Brand Spokesperson, and founder of Pop Your Shop. Harmonie hosted CMT's Trick My Trucker and multiple programming for ESPN and Fashion Week. Conducting red carpet interviews will be actress, host, and founder of blog SamSoMuch, Samantha Gutstadt. Sam currently works with Nylon Magazine creating content, as well as appears on Almost Perfect Life Hacks on Awestruck Network.

"I'm honored that Savoir Agency invited us to partner with them to create Future Disruptors," says Co-Founder and Executive Director, Wendy Winks. "One of Savoir's founders, Tamalin Srisook, has a very musically talented daughter, so she knows first-hand how music is the key that unlocks some kids' lives - giving them passion, purpose and connection. All children should have the opportunity to experience music and the arts, and it's just not available for many low-income children today. This event will help to inspire, raise awareness, and change the lives of some very deserving scholarship students."

"Now more than ever we see the need to support the Arts and Music in today's youth," says Co-Founder of Savoir Agency, Marta Stattmiller. The underfunding and defunding of Arts in American schools is appalling and without a doubt will have a lifelong impact on our children. Arts and Music are a way of expression and crucial to a child's development. We started Future Disruptors to help combat this injustice, inspire families, and showcase some of today's rising talent."

About Ovation Music Fund:
Ovation Music Fund 501(c)(3) provides low-income children under 18 with music scholarships so they may attend any approved after-school music program in the USA. Ovation currently works with over 120 music schools in 27 states, helping children receive a premiere music education experience. Ovation also creates groundbreaking educational programs, which expand children's knowledge and understanding of the world at large, through music collaborations with partners like Carnegie Hall, and the Casterbridge Music Development Academy in South Africa. These musical exchange programs provide students with life-changing experiences working with mentors and students from other cultures and communities.

NickSplat To Host "Pete & Pete" Reunion Event This Weekend

Attention Pete Nation: NickSplat, Nickelodeon's destination for the most loved Nick content from the 1990s and beyond, will be hosting a special The Adventures of Pete & Pete weekend reunion event, "The Strongest Reunion in the World!!!" this weekend, which is sure to leave you smiling strange!


The two night event will feature brand-new special on-air material featuring the cast and six episodes of Nickelodeon's popular early '90s live-action series (three episodes each night plus same night encore).

The episodes of Pete & Pete that NickSplat will be airing during their "The Strongest Reunion in the World!!!" weekend are:

Saturday 17th June 2017:

10:00pm/11:30pm - "What We Did On Our Summer Vacation": After the Petes and Ellen unintentionally drive Mr. Tastee (the local ice-cream man) out of town by trying to find out about his personal life, they start a hunt to find him and bring him back as the summer comes to a close. Guest stars: Michael Stipe of R.E.M. appears as the ice cream man "Captain Scrummy" in the beach scene; Kate Pierson of The B-52's appears as Mrs. Van Devere.

10:30pm/12:00am - "Apocalypse Pete": The Petes' father, Don Wrigley, and Ellen's father, Mr. Hickle (Steve Buscemi), start a prank war, which helps Little Pete and his father get closer while tearing Big Pete and Ellen apart. Based on the Pete & Pete short entitled "The Big Race."

11:00pm/12:30am - "Don't Tread on Pete": While Big Pete engages in a struggle against time to study for a test on the American Revolutionary War (with the fear that failing would cause him to wind up like the school's janitor, rumored to have failed the same test years before), Little Pete leads his gym class to try to beat his teacher's intramural dodgeball team.

Sunday 18th June 2017:

10:00pm/11:30pm - "When Petes Collide": The Petes compete for Dad's affections as he prepares to pass down "Rolling Thunder", a bowling ball that apparently has mystical powers.

10:30pm/12:00am - "The Nightcrawlers": Little Pete and his friends aim to overthrow the International Adult Conspiracy's reign over bedtimes by staying up for eleven nights and thus breaking the world record.

11:00pm/12:30am - "Tool and Die": Big Pete is put in shop class, much to his displeasure. His teacher, Mr. Slurm, assigns him to work on a mysterious "special project" with the bully "Endless" Mike Hellstrom.

Note that NickSplat often runs "off the clock", so start times are approx.

"The Strongest Reunion in the World!!!" weekend marks the first time The Adventures of Pete & Pete will air on NickSplat (including The Splat and The '90s Are All That). Pete & Pete was last broadcast on Nickelodeon USA for a one-time showing on Nickelodeon on 10th June 2004, as part of Nickelodeon's 25th anniversary celebrations during U-Pick Live. The episode that was aired was "King of the Road", the first episode from the shows first season. Pete & Pete was last seen in the USA on The N (TeenNick's name prior to 2009) on 2nd October 2003. Three of the shows pre-series shorts aired during The Splat's launch night on 5th October 2015.

Nickelodeon Eyes Singapore For New Animation Talent

American children's TV network Nickelodeon is looking to have its next animated show created in the Republic of Singapore.

The next major animated series from Nickelodeon, the American children's television network behind hugely popular cartoons such as underwater comedy SpongeBob SquarePants (1999 to present) and rescue dogs-themed Paw Patrol (2013 to present) - could come from Singapore.

So says Mr Jules Borkent, Nickelodeon's Executive Vice-President (EVP) of Global Acquisitions and International Programming, who believes that there is "great talent" in the animation industry there.


Mr. Jules Borkent.

"Singapore's animation scene is very strong, so we are looking at how we can have an animation hit come out from this part of the world," Borkent told The Straits Times, "I have tasked my team in the United States - the development group - to talk to producers and creative people here to see how we can create a great show here," the New York-based executive tells The Straits Times during a recent trip to Singapore.

He points out that Nickelodeon had already kick-started the collaborative process with Singapore in content production last year, when it produced the animated short film Sharkdog with home-grown animation studio Chip And Toons.

The 41/2-minute short, created by Jacinth Tan and Raihan Harun, is about a kid called Max, whose half-shark, half-dog pet has a ravenous appetite for his homework.

The partnership was borne out of Nickelodeon's coveted Animated Shorts Program, an annual contest which aims to discover and develop animation talent from around the world.

Sharkdog was one of 22 finalists in the 2015 edition, a shortlist whittled down from almost 950 pitches from across the globe. It is also the first and only Asian finalist that the programme has seen since its launch in 2012.

The network is conducting research to see whether Sharkdog has the potential to be further developed.


The Loud House

Previously, animated shorts such as Breadwinners (2014 to 2016), about a pair of ducks who deliver bread; as well as The Loud House (2016 to present), centred on the Loud family, were picked up to become full-fledged series.

Until then, the company engages Singaporean viewers through on-the-ground activities such as the annual Nickelodeon Slime Cup, which organises various sport- related activities incorporating the network's signature green slime, as well as the Nickelodeon Fiesta, a games festival where families can interact with characters from the network.

Popular Nickelodeon characters also make regular mall appearances, which draw hundreds of excited children at a time. In September, one of the channel's most successful pre-school series, Paw Patrol, will hold its first live-action stage show at Resorts World Sentosa.

Mr Borkent says: "Audiences are watching our shows on TV, but we have to be there for them beyond the screen. They recognise the brand and they follow our stars."
