Why Diversity in TV Must Start Early

Diversity in TV must start early


Cottonwood Media’s Find Me In Paris

While representation in kids’ TV has increased in recent years, it’s still got a long way to go before it becomes mainstream. Ann-Marie Corvin reports for TBI Vision.

From Sesame Street to Dora the Explorer, there’s a perception that kids TV leads the way when it comes to positively championing themes of inclusion and diversity, but statistics suggest otherwise.

The ongoing Children's Television Project (CTV) at Tufts University, which has been monitoring U.S. children’s TV content for diversity for the last seven years, has found that black characters account for 5.6% of a total sample of over 1,500 characters, despite representing around 13% of the population in 2018.

Meanwhile, in the UK, regulator Ofcom’s Children and Parent’s Media Use and Attitude Report (November 2017) found that a third of British 8-11 year olds still didn’t think there were enough programmes which showed children that looked like them.

This matters because young audiences will simply pay less attention if they don’t see themselves reflected in the content, according to Anne Brogan, joint managing director of kids prodco Kindle Entertainment.

“If your creative comes from a limited pool of experience you can’t capture the wider experience of kids, and if you can’t do this, they will disconnect,” she warns.

The former ITV kids’ controller adds that the challenge for content makers is to find the people to tell the stories and to make them entertaining so that they have universal appeal.

For its CBBC/CBeebies hit, Jamillah And Aladdin – which brought together three central characters from a diverse background – Kindle chose to draft in less experienced writers from diverse backgrounds.

“It isn’t easy if you have a team of rookie writers as you have to put a huge amount of support into that team to generate the scripts,” Brogan adds.

Commercially, however, it was worth it, with the 52 x 11-minute show – distributed by Spain’s Imira Entertainment – picked up by Spanish pubcaster TVE; Al Jazeera for the Middle East and North Africa, as well as Sweden and Norway via networks Sveriges Television and NRK.

“Broadcasters loved that combination of the classic storytelling and the very modern ethnically diverse characters; the response we had from parents was delightful. Their children were seeing what was familiar to them on screen for the first time,” she recalls.

Julie Bristow, president and CEO of Toronto-based content-creation company Bristow Global Media (BGM) reports similar feedback after the first series of last year’s 13 x 22-minute live action series It’s My Party! for TVO.

Aimed at 6-9 year olds, the series takes young viewers on a tour of the world’s greatest parties, from Diwali and Kwanzaa to Hanukkah and Oshogatsu.

Currently in production on the second series, which the firm is taking to MIPTV, Bristow reports that the response from viewers has been overwhelming.

“It’s often the first time the kids have seen their culture represented on TV. Parents hear their kids shout ‘They are telling our story’, and that’s what we have to do, we have to put everybody on camera,” she says.

There are plenty of other examples of commercially successful kids content punching through that reflects and explores different cultures and experiences.

Cottonwood Media’s preschool animated hit, Ollie & Moon, the second series of which is heading to MIPTV, introduces small kids to different cultures – with two cats – who travel around the world appreciating the differences and similarities in everyone.

The show’s ‘vive la différence’ message has now sold to over 150 countries, airing in most English-speaking countries as well as every major market in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.

According to Cottonwood co-founder Cécile Lauritano, when the company was developing its ultra premium live-action ballet co-pro Find Me In Paris, which airs on Nickelodeon in the UK & Ireland, they were keen to reflect LBGT+ experiences as a normal part of teen life, with a storyline featuring an openly gay character who falls in love with a friend, treated as any other romantic plot.

While this may not seem groundbreaking, given the amount of Young Adult (YA) fiction written to reflect gay experiences, until recently there’s been a nervousness among execs around LGBT characters, which makes the success of dramas such as ABC Australia’s First Day (see case study on tbivision.com), all the more remarkable.

“As a producer I was very proud to bring this storyline to the screen,” says Lauritano, because 10, 11 and 12 year-old kids need to understand that there must be stories from every origin and every orientation and that this has to be normal in 2019.”

The texture these stories and the diverse and international cast brings to this English-speaking tween show is arguably one of the reasons for its success: The 26 x 26-minute show only launched at MIPCOM 2017 and Cottonwood is already bringing season three to MIPTV.

While gender and ethnicity appear to be high on the agenda in kids TV, shows featuring disabled children appear less visible, but this is also changing.

French animation outfit Xilam launched its first pre-school property Paprika two years ago, featuring two twins, one of whom is a wheelchair user.

BGM is also developing the animated series Ricky Rockets, which Bristow says was brought to the company with the theme tune written by a famous Canadian musician, whose wheelchair-using nephew plays in a rock band.

For Ed Galton, CCO and managing director at CAKE – which distributes and exec produced seasons one and two of CBeebies animated hit Pablo – you can never have too many shows that positively champion inclusivity, but, he stresses, “they need to be told with entertainment and storytelling at their heart”.

Produced by Paper Owl Films, Pablo details the adventures of a boy with autism, using stories inspired, written and voiced by talent with autism. Now on key channels and platforms throughout the world, Pablo has inspired marketing and PR campaigns in local markets, according to Galton.

Its impact on autism awareness is such that 50 new short ‘behind the stories’ films have been made interviewing the writers who reveal their inspiration behind the storylines. They will feature on social media during World Autism Awareness Month throughout April.

The big US kids networks are also stepping up their game to reach what Nickelodeon has referred to as “the most diverse generation ever”.

One notable improvement has been the growing number of female showrunners in animation – a contingent underrepresented in the past.

These include Rebecca Sugar, creator of Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe, which has been praised for its positive depictions of LGBT+ characters.

Other showrunners, many who have made their name on Nickelodeon properties, include Christine Ricci (Dora The Explorer, Nella The Princess Knight, Blaze and the Monster Machines), Farnaz Esnashari-Charmatz (Shimmer & Shine) and Niki Lopez, creator and producer of upcoming Latina pirate adventure, Santiago Of The Seas.


Nickelodeon's The Casagrandes

Elsewhere, top-rated animated series, The Loud House, now in its fourth series, has been praised for its diverse range of characters, including interracial gay parents, and a main character who is bi-sexual.

The Nickelodeon show has inspired equally diverse spin-off series, The Casagrandes, set to premiere on the network this October. Focusing on a Latino family who have a child with Down Syndrome (voiced by an actor with Down syndrome) the award-winning Hispanic-American cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz Coco served as an early cultural consultant on the show.

According Nina Hahn, Senior Vice President (SVP) of international development, Nickelodeon, encouraging showrunners to bring their key experiences to the table – and/or working with consultants to ensure these experiences are authentic – is key. “You need to treat diversity authentically, and not just as a box ticking exercise.

“You also need a very strong creator at the centre who has a story to tell. [show creator Chris Savino] came from a big family and depicted the life he saw. For us it was a no brainer – we didn’t even think about it as ‘the diverse show’,” she says.

But what about breakthrough international shows coming from other continents? Ubongo, a pan-African content company primarily focused on creating learning resources for young children, has ambitions to create characters as ubiquitous as Dora The Explorer.

First-Ever Nickelodeon Treasure Hunt Officially Lands in Malta

The world's first ever Nickelodeon Treasure Hunt is taking place in Malta!


The Nickelodeon Treasure Hunt will be taking place between Monday 15th April and Wednesday 17th April 2019 at various locations around the island. Besides the treasure hunt, a number of other world class Nickelodeon-themed activities and events will be taking place, starting from Saturday 13th April 2019. The initiative is aimed at attracting families over the Easter school holidays.

Nickelodeon Treasure Hunt Malta is based around creating exclusive Nickelodeon experiences and rewards for kids and families at select attractions around the Maltese Islands. Activities will include searching for SpongeBob SquarePants and friends at the National Aquarium, learning through play with the PAW Patrol pups by bouncing through the Paw Patrol Inflatable HQ at the Esplora Science Centre, learning to duel with Nella the Princess Knight at the 16th-century St James Cavalier, and joining the pizza-loving Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at Is-Suq Tal-Belt food market.


"During the Nickelodeon Treasure Hunt, families will be able to spy SpongeBob SquarePants at Bikini Bottom (AKA the Malta National Aquarium), learn to duel with Nella the Princess Knight at Spazju Kreattiv, take selfies in the exclusive Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles AR photo booth at is-Suq tal-Belt and meet PAW Patrol at the Esplora Science Centre, as they embark on an adventurous treasure hunt across the island," a press statement by the Malta Tourism Authority said.


In addition to the character experiences at the selected attractions, a free live theatre show at Pjazza Teatru Rjal will kick things off over the opening weekend, with slime-filled challenges and a multi-character musical show for kids and families. A Nickelodeon Multi-Media Exhibition and Workshop Hub featuring Nickelodeon animation exhibitions, screenings and workshops will be open throughout the week at St James Cavalier, with the week’s activity being rounded off with a carnival-style Nickelodeon Parade through Valetta Old Town.

Activity packs distributed at locations, including the international airport and tourist information centers, will feature activities that combine fan-favorite Nickelodeon characters with attractions throughout Malta. Stamps collected at each attraction can be redeemed for Nickelodeon-themed prizes.

The new concept will aim to leverage to global power of the Nickelodeon brand, network and popular characters to drive awareness of and visits to Malta’s attractions during off-peak months.


Minister for Tourism Konrad Mizzi said that The Malta Tourism Authority has teamed up with world renowned brand Nickelodeon, and created this event which will entertain children. "Our marketing campaign was very well received particularly in the UK, France, Germany and Italy. This year's event will develop the foundation for further strategic collaboration with Nickelodeon."

Mizzi previously stated that part of the Maltese Government strategy is to develop events and entertainment for families and kids. “This is an important tourism niche for Malta and we are committed to raise the bar. The Nickelodeon events and parade will also be enjoyed by Maltese children during the Easter holidays” the Minister concluded.

Gavin Gulia, the MTA's Executive Chairman, said that he was proud of the combined effort of all involved at the MTA as well as Viacom, with whom a great working relationship has been developed thanks to Isle of MTV and now the Nickelodeon Treasure Hunt.

Nearly all the sets, stages, floats and parade items have been manufactured locally under the Nickelodeon brand guidelines by Maltese craftsmen.

Mr Tony Zahra, Malta Hotels and Restaurants Assocation (MHRA) President, said that an initiative such as Nickelodeon Treasure Hunt Malta is a step in the right direction when attracting families to visit the Maltese Islands, particularly outside of the summer period and that the MHRA was fully behind this interesting event.

Gulia was particularly pleased with the exposure which the Maltese Islands will be receiving thanks to its partnership with Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN), as he explained that the franchise will be promoted across Nickelodeon’s vast international network, which is one of the leading entertainment brands for kids and families, and has amassed 1.2 billion cumulative subscribers in over 500m households across more than 170 countries.

Russell Samuel, Vice President, Creative and Integrated Marketing at Viacom Velocity International, said “Malta has plenty of appeal: sun, sea and culture, which, through 11 years of Isle of MTV Malta we have successfully promoted to youth travellers, helping to increase the island’s youth tourism by 120 per cent and now accounts for 25 per cent of all tourism. Now it’s time to further unlock Malta’s value and tourism potential by leveraging our unique and unparalleled expertise and the influence of the Nickelodeon brand for kids and families”.

Interview with the Creator of PROMETHEUS AND BOB: Nickelodeon's Forgotten Masterpiece | Cult Popture

Interview with the Creator of PROMETHEUS AND BOB: Nickelodeon's Forgotten Masterpiece | Cult Popture



Cote Zellers is the creator of Prometheus and Bob, The charming stop-motion animated Nickelodeon [KaBlam!] series about an alien trying to educate a caveman, which, while one of the best shows of its kind, somehow faded away into nostalgic obscurity.

AJ managed to score an interview with the guy, and in this video learns all about the show's history, its origins, its lost episodes, its cancelled movie adaptation, and the the behind-the-scenes politics which may have ultimately buried the show for good.

From The A.V. Club:

Nickelodeon’s long-forgotten Prometheus And Bob deserves a second look

Nickelodeon’s heyday is often remembered for its tentpole programming, stuff like All That, Rocko’s Modern Life, and Rugrats. Amongst those bigger titles, however, was a bunch of smaller, weirder stuff that’s often left forgotten (even by ‘90s kids). Take, for example, Prometheus And Bob, the stop-motion short from the animation anthology KaBlam! that featured an alien attempting to teach a caveman the basics of human life. Remember that? Most people don’t, but creator, director, and voice actor Cote Zellers certainly does. Recently, Zellers sat down with AJ, the self-professed Prometheus And Bob super fan behind YouTube’s Cult Popture, to delve into his experience making the shorts and why his planned Prometheus And Bob feature never made it past development.

After getting some attention with an original, edgier Prometheus And Bob short, Zellers was tasked with creating a new, kid-friendly episode for KaBlam! every week. While the stop-motion process was painstaking, it also gave him complete creative control over the show’s aesthetic and humor. That changed, unfortunately, as the shorts’ popularity increased.

“I went to Paramount and had a meeting with Amy Heckerling and her producer. She was going to direct it,” Zellers says of Nickelodeon’s failed attempt to get a Promotheus And Bob live-action feature off the ground. “It was supposed to star Chris Farley and David Spade…but then Chris Farley died.” Inexplicably, the development process continued to move forward, and a script was written that Zellers calls “the worst thing [he] ever read.” Producers refused to let him rewrite it himself, and the production stalled out.

“Actually, a lot of those ideas from that Prometheus And Bob script showed up in that really horrible Jack Black Gulliver’s Travels movie,” Zellers says. “Same writer.”

Unfortunately for those of us who remember the pitch-perfect slapstick of the original shorts, it doesn’t look like a Prometheus And Bob resurrection is in the cards anytime soon. Nickelodeon still owns the rights and doesn’t seem too interested in doing anything with them. For now, at least, this alien and his dumb-as-rocks friend will be consigned to the realm of “Hey, remember that? That was weird.”
