Tara Strong | Women's History Month | Nickelodeon Animation

It's Women's History Month, and Nickelodeon Animation are honoring one of the most iconic voice actors of Nick Animation, Tara Strong! As she says on the Nick Animation Podcast: “When you look back, your life is a puzzle, and some pieces aren’t that pretty, but they all need to go in to get you where you are.“

Emily Kapnek & Monica Tomova | As Told By Ginger | Women's History Month | Nickelodeon Animation

Nickelodeon Animation are continuing their celebration of Women’s History Month with these storyboards by Monica Tomova from the 2000 Nickelodeon show As Told By Ginger, created by Emily Kapnek, who sums up her inspiration for the show: “Why has no one done an animated show that really looks at all of the angst of being that junior high school age [when] you’re so awkward and want to fit in but also want to stand out [and] not knowing how to do both. That was the whole motivation. Plus, just a healthy dose of reality. I didn’t feel there were a lot of cartoons that were really honest and dealt with real issues that kids were dealing with. The plan was to have Ginger clearly grappling with a lot of the milestone stuff that kids deal with, [like] the pressure to fit in, the pressure to look a certain way, shave her legs, etc.”

The Legend of Korra | Women's History Month | Nickelodeon Animation

In honor of Women's History Month, the Nickelodeon Archives team are unveiling behind-the-scenes art of some of the network's most iconic and powerful women characters - beginning with The Legend of Korra! “I am certainly proud to add Korra to the pantheon of TV characters, which is perpetually sorely lacking in multifaceted female characters who aren’t sidekicks, subordinates or mere trophies for male characters." -Bryan Konietzko, co-creator, Avatar The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.

Arlene Klasky | Women's History Month | Nickelodeon Animation

Nickelodeon Animation are kicking off Women’s History Month with this Tuesday motivation from Arlene Klasky, one of the very first creators of Nick Animation (when Rugrats premiered on August 11th, 1991 on the same day as Ren & Stimpy and Doug), along with behind-the-scenes art of the iconic Nick shows she helped created including Rugrats, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, The Wild Thornberrys, Rocket Power, and As Told By Ginger!

CAKE Adds Nickelodeon Latin America's 'Kally's MashUp' to Catalog

CAKE has picked up the distribution rights for Nickelodeon Latin America's (Latinoamérica) hit musical teen comedy Kally’s MashUp in certain territories!


CAKE will oversee the exclusive broadcast rights in the U.K. and Ireland, Northern and Eastern Europe, Asia, Oceania, the Middle East and Africa. The 75×60-minute show debuted on Nickelodeon in Latin America in October 2017.

Kally's MashUp has since been seen by more than 5 million viewers across the Latin American region, achieving the No. 1 position in Mexico among girls aged 7 to 14 years. Following its success, Nickelodeon Latinoamérica recently ordered more new episodes. A new line of consumer products inspired by the popular series will also be released in May 2018. "Kally's MashUp: La música: banda sonora original de la serie de TV", a album featuring 18 songs from the hit TV show, was released on Friday 9th March 2018 by Deep Well Records, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment US Latin LLC. The album can be downloaded now at kallysmashupofficial.com.

Created by Anders and Anthony Falcon, Kally's MashUp is inspired by the real life and musical trajectory of Adam Anders. The story follows the adventures of Kally, a 13-year-old music prodigy who tries to balance her life as a piano virtuoso with that of a regular teenager, after moving from a small town to the most prominent music university in the country. Although everyone thinks she was born to be a classical piano player, her true dream and passion is to be a pop star. It is co-produced by Nick LatAm, Anders Media and 360 Powwow, with Anders and Powwow CEO Daniel Gutman executive producing.


The music series features original songs composed by Anders, his wife, Nikki Anders, and his longtime collaborator, Peer Astrom. Anders also oversees all the music featured in the series.

Ed Galton, the Chief Content Officer (CCO) and Managing Director (MD) at CAKE, commented: “We were deeply impressed with the level of quality Adam and Daniel were able to achieve in this musical series. Kally’s MashUp has already achieved some impressive figures and its original musical score with songs shot in English gives this unique format huge global potential.”

Gutman noted: “It is a privilege for us as producers and for Kally’s MashUp as a uniquely original show to have CAKE as a travel companion to expand its international journey into new demanding territories.”

Anders, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Anders Media, added: “Working on something this fresh and exciting and at the same time uniquely personal has been a dream. We could not be more thrilled with everyone involved from cast and crew to our production partners, and are happy to add CAKE to the list of people adding real value to this project.”

Nickelodeon ‘Blue’s Clues’ Revival: Steve Burns Wants Old Post, Willing Fight John Cena For It

Former Blue's Clues host Steve Burns is ready to take on 16-time WWE champ John Cena for his old post when the beloved Nickelodeon show is rebooted later this year.


Steve, who hosted Blue's Clues for 7 years expressed his interest to take back his job, telling TMZ that part of the magic of the show was that there was an average Joe in the driver's seat. So far, Nickelodeon hasn't announced who's gonna be the new host, and Steve's still in the running, but production is strongly considering a female stepping in to fill Steve's old, green-striped polo.



“It seems to me that Blue’s Clues is returning now because somehow, all of the kids that I befriended way back when have kids,” Burns, who hosted the popular children’s show from 1996-2002, told TMZ. “From everything we understand about it, the millennial generation is extra super-duper nostalgic, and to think that they have such warm, fond memories of Blue’s Clues — and of me — is truly super cool and wonderful and warm and fuzzy.”

“I like the idea that the host of Blue’s Clues could be a regular-looking guy,” he said. “You know, I didn’t look like Justin Bieber or anything like that. I was just kind of a normal, weird dude. And I like the idea that the host of that show really could be your friend, really could be someone who you might meet — and who isn’t like a super buff, amazing professional wrestler.”


“I think if John Cena is serious about hosting Blue’s Clues, he and I should wrestle for it,” he quipped. “I’m calling you out, John Cena!”

Cena did a impromptu audition for the hosting gig wearing the green-striped polo at Nickelodeon Upfront 2018, where Nick first revealed plans to revive the network's iconic problem-solving interactive preschool series for a new generation of preschoolers, It's unclear if it was for real or not, but Steve seems up for the fight regardless. Cena has a partnership with Nickelodeon: The WWE superstar will be returning to host Nickelodeon’s 2018 Kids’ Choice Awards, airing live on Nickelodeon on March 24, from 8-9:30 p.m. (ET/PT); will be voicing a new original villain named Baron Draxum in Nickelodeon's upcoming 2D animated series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, premiering late 2018; and is executive producing Nickelodeon's Keep It Spotless, the network's brand-new competition series, premiering Monday 26th March 2018 at 7:30 P.M. (ET/PT).


In 2002, Steve handed over the reigns of the show to his 'younger brother Joe', played by Donovan Patton, who appeared in 50 episodes total.

To help find the new host of Blue's Clues, Nickelodeon will host open call in Southern California on Saturday, April 14, 2018. Unfortunately, all the time slots of the open audition are now filled, however, if you are 18 years old or older and would still like to be considered, you can submit a video audition. (Nickelodeon is seeking women and men of any ethnicity who can play 18-25 years old. Auditionees must be aged 18 or over.)

It's currently unknown whether the UK version of the rebooted Blue's Clues will have a localised host. In the original series, the show was presented Kevin Duala.

Picked up for 20 episodes, the new Blue’s Clues will have a refreshed signature look. Casting for the new host will begin this month, and production on Blue’s Clues will commence this summer.

The new Blue’s Clues series centers on the energetic girl puppy Blue who invites viewers into her animated world to help solve the day’s puzzles with the help of a live-action host. Preschoolers are encouraged to interact with the action on-screen by answering questions, pointing out clues, jumping on their feet and playing along.

The original Blue’s Clues series launched in September 1996 to critical praise from educators, parents and preschoolers and ran for six groundbreaking seasons. Created by Traci Paige Johnson, Todd Kessler and Angela C. Santomero, Blue’s Clues drew acclaim and high ratings for its unique interactivity that helped change the way kids watch television and has remained one of the most popular preschool shows of all time. The landmark series also raised the bar in preschool television by exploring advanced subject matter such as sign language, geography, physics, emotions and anatomy.

The classic Blue’s Clues library is currently available on NOGGIN, Nickelodeon’s video subscription service for preschoolers, and short-form content can be found on the Nick Jr. App and NickJr.com.

They're two, they're four
They're six, they're eight

Down the hills and round the bends

James, is vain but lots of fun
Percy, pulls the mail on time
Gordon, thunders down the line
Emily, really knows her stuff
Henry, toots and huffs and puffs
Edward, wants to help and share
Toby, well let's say - he's square!

They're two, they're four
They're six, they're eight
Shunting trucks and hauling freight
Red and green and brown and blue
They're the Really Useful Crew
All with different roles to play
Round Tidmouth Sheds or far away
Down the hills and round the bends
Thomas and his friends

They're two, they're four
They're six, they're eight
Shunting trucks and hauling freight
Red and green and brown and blue
They're the Really Useful Crew
All with different roles to play
Round Tidmouth Sheds or far away
Down the hills and round the bends
Thomas and his friends
