Milkshake! to Premiere 'Becca's Bunch' on Monday 7th October 2019

London, UK - Channel 5’s popular pre-school block Milkshake! will premiere the brand-new animated preschool series Becca's Bunch on Monday 7th October 2019 at 8:25am! Following its debut, Milkshake! will continue to air brand-new episodes of Becca's Bunch, which follows the adventures of a unique little bird who has a big heart weekdays at 8:25am.


In Wagtail Woods a unique little bird with a big heart called Becca and her bunch of friends are always ready for action! Becca has a innate curiosity and a wonderful way of looking at things. She sees adventure in every situation and as a result often bites off more than she can chew, landing herself and the bunch - Russell, Sylvia and Pedro - in some sticky situations. Thinking on her feet, Becca will urge a generation of kids never to give up, aim high and have big ideas, because once they do every day will be an adventure!


From her quirky dress sense to her hobbies, Becca is a bird like no other and chirps to her own tune. Her can-do attitude allows her big ideas to take flight on the most fantastical adventures with her three best friends. Becca’s infectious enthusiasm encourages her besties, aka The Wild Bunch, to seek out adventure in Wagtail Woods and boldly go where no bird, worm, squirrel and fox have gone before. The Wild Bunch haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on Becca’s list! With unique ideas, heart and positive thinking, the gang always manage to overcome any challenge they encounter in Wagtail Woods.

Becca's Bunch is an exciting entertainment show for preschoolers which merges live action, puppetry and 2D and 3D animation to create a textured world that the audience wants to reach out and touch!

Becca's Bunch (52 x 11') is produced by Dublin-based creative production, distribution and licensing company JAM Media. Nickelodeon acquired the exclusive broadcast rights to the series in the US and Pay TV rights for the rest of the world in October 2016. Becca's Bunch made its debut on Nick Jr. UK & Ireland on Monday 2nd July 2018, and is currently rolling out the series onto Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. channels around the world. In addition, terrestrial broadcasters ABC Australia, CBC Kids (Canada) and France Télévisions (France) have picked up the series for their respective countries.

Talking about the series, Nickelodeon Senior Vice President (SVP) of International Production and Development Nina Hahn says the project was introduced to her and Nick’s Vice President (VP) of Content Acquisitions, Layla Lewis, at a very early stage. And it was love at first sight.


“[JAM Media] showed us the short even before they did the formal pitch into our larger group, which allowed us to give them feedback from multiple different filters on what we wanted to see,” Hahn says. “The content itself had a lot of the DNA of Nickelodeon, from the visual quirkiness, to the way the characters were developed and its strong female lead at the center. It really tapped into the kind of broad, emotional and simple ideas that we like to work with.”

Jam Media, which has studios in both Dublin and Belfast in Northern Ireland, pitched the series at Cartoon Forum in 2013 under the title Early Bird.

The news follows JAM Media naming JAKKS Pacific as the global master toy licensee for Becca’s Bunch. JAKKS has secured the exclusive global rights to produce figurines, playsets and accessories, vehicles, musical instruments, plush (feature and non-feature), every day dress-up, role play, arts & crafts, board games and accessories, Halloween costumes and accessories, outdoor/indoor furniture, wagons, ride-ons, play tents, ball pits, balls and outdoor games, all based on the spritely bird and her group of animal friends. Plush, figurines, musical instruments, vehicles and playsets are planned for a Fall 2019 launch at US retail. JAKKS joins previously signed Becca’s Bunch licensees Candlewick Press, which has taken publishing rights for the US, and Egmont, which is signed on for publishing in the rest of the world. Both companies are planning a Fall 2019 retail launch in key territories.

New Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Insights Research Reveals Live Experiences Are More Popular Than Material Goods, Whilst Kids Are Increasingly Having Greater Roles in Household Decisions

Don’t worry, be happy (with experiences)

New research from Viacom shows experiences are trending stronger than material goods, while kids have an increased sway over household decisions.


Kids and families today are finding increased value in live experiences over material goods, a new Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Insights report reveals. Every Age, Every Aisle, Everywhere: Understanding Consumers Today connected with people ages six to 54 from more than 31 countries.

The key finding from the report was that when it comes to happiness, across all ages, it’s about time—not about having plenty of money. On Viacom’s rank of the top five sources of happiness, “spending time with family and friends” took the top slot, while “time for fun and relaxation” and “going away on holiday” were both growing. Ending the list were “being successful” and “having plenty of money.” This is a marked difference from 2012′s findings, which saw success and money ranking higher in the list.

The study found that there’s value in providing people the opportunity to participate in experiences, especially with friends and family. Facilitating shared experiences helped keep everyone in the household happy. Exclusive experiences were deemed the “ultimate status symbol,” making it a big deal for people to be the first to discover something. Kids are having an increasing sway over these decisions as well: 70% of children have a role in deciding where the family will go on vacation, while nearly eight in 10 kids have a say when it comes to deciding how to spend their free time. (And, echoing recent trends in the food aisle, 77% of kids have a say when it comes to mealtimes.) Nine in 10 parents, meanwhile, believe they should always listen their kids’ opinions before making decisions that affect them.

This data backs an ongoing trend toward live experiences in the kids industry. According to Expedia, 74% of Americans prioritize experiences over products these days, and 65% of brands say that live events and experiential programs are directly related to sales.

Nickelodeon has launched several live experiences in the last several years, including SLIMEFEST, NickFest, Nickelodeon x Carney, and a Slime City, an All That Good Burger Pop-up, and will soon be launching the SpongeBob SquarePants: The Bikini Bottom Experience pop-up in L.A. later this month. Tru Kids Brands, parent company of Toys “R” Us, is partnering with candy-themed experiential adventure company Candytopia on a new immersive pop-up that was made for Instagram, while toycos like Hasbro and Mattel continue to launch their own location-based efforts. Nickelodeon's sister network, Comedy Central, also has Comedy Central Presents Clusterfest.

Viacom’s data also revealed that “emotional resonance and release”—getting people to feel happy, sad, angry or sympathetic—helps people cope and allows families to bond.

Representing the diversity of today’s families and reflecting their realities was also found to be incredibly important. Inclusion and realness is increasingly valued by all age groups, with the report quoting a 30-year-old respondent saying “characters that look, think, dress, talk [or] walk like you, any of those little things can go a long way.”

Canadian YouTuber Elle Mills to Feature in Upcoming Nickelodeon Digital Series

Canadian YouTuber Elle Mills is set to feature in a upcoming brand-new Nickelodeon digital series!

The 21-year-old Ottawa social media star launched her YouTube channel, ElleOfTheMills in March 2012 and has become very popular among fans, with her channel boasting over 1.82 million subscribers and over 150,000,000 views. In April 2018, the star won "Breakout Creator" at the 10th annual Shorty Awards.

Mills isn't a stranger to Nickelodeon, having appeared in a special VidCon 2019 video in September 2019:


The news comes as Nickelodeon is expanding its digital footprint for social video platforms such as Facebook Watch and YouTube. Amongst the network's hit digital series are Bikini Bottom Mysteries, The JoJo & BowBow Show Show, Annie Vs. Hayley, Throw Back with Nickelodeon and Fact or Nicktion.

Premiere date to be announced.

The majority of Nickelodeon's digital content pipeline is produced by Viacom Digital Studios (VDS) for the network.

From The Canadian Press via 660 News:

Role model, celebrity, advocate — Ottawa YouTuber Elle Mills is still figuring herself out

TORONTO — YouTuber Elle Mills is finally learning to set limits.

Little more than year ago, the 21-year-old Ottawa social media star was pouring her everything onto the video platform. She pranked her dad’s ex-wife, shared her first kiss with millions of viewers, and came out as bisexual only days after she’d figured it out herself.

And then a crippling burnout knocked Mills down, right in front of her own cameras, forcing her to reevaluate her priorities.

“I feel like sometimes I don’t leave enough for myself — I’m almost too open,” Mills said Friday after speaking at Buffer Festival, a Toronto digital video conference and film showcase.

“There’s boundaries, that’s what I’ve learned recently. You don’t need to share everything.”

Except Mills wants to share many things. It’s what helped her amass nearly 2 million YouTube subscribers who eagerly await her next comedy production. The slickly produced videos typically involve Mills bringing to life some outlandish idea she’s dreamed up on paper.

Over the summer, she recreated high school prom so her classmates and teachers could watch as she crowned herself prom queen. Two years ago, she legally married her sister’s boyfriend as a joke — a prank she now admits is her only regret.

As one YouTube fan pointed out, Mills makes videos with “clickbait” titles that actually deliver the goods. In return, she gets the views, which often number in the millions.

Her most popular video, called “Coming Out (Elle Mills Style),” was made on an impulse in November 2017 as she grappled with her own identity. It was presented in the spirit of a teen rom-com, complete with tear-jerking moments of authenticity as Mills confided her biggest fears of telling her family and friends she was bisexual.

The video was an instant viral success, pulling in more than 5 million views to date and reshaping Mills’ life and YouTube identity. She became a global celebrity in the YouTube community and, in some young viewers’ eyes, even an LGBTQ figurehead. But it also handed Mills responsibilities she didn’t anticipate.

Within months, Mills was doing a cover shoot for Diva, a European magazine for lesbian and bisexual women.

“I’m like, ‘Oh my god, am I now a representative for bisexuals? What’s happening?’ Mills said. “No one is ever qualified, but I feel like some people are really unqualified, you know what I mean? I feel like I definitely need to have more experience — I’ve never dated anybody.”

An accidental spokesperson, Mills realizes her young fans now expect her to speak out about certain causes. She’s uncomfortable with some of those pressures, and says she prefers to speak only about what she knows, whether it’s on the topics of sexual orientation or mental health.

Growing up, Mills dreamed of the limelight, taking a cue from her sister’s own aspirations of being a pop star. They’d shoot music videos together, which led Mills to adopt her own solo music ambitions. Knowing she couldn’t carry a tune, she picked up a guitar and took roles in school plays.

Eventually her performative thirst led to YouTube, where she taught herself how to edit videos. After high school graduation, she fully committed herself to the goal of becoming an online celebrity. The work paid off — in a year she generated more than a million subscribers.

But with the popularity came an increasing expectation Mills thrust upon herself. She was making a new video each week, trying to raise the stakes with each upload. Early last year she began crumbling under the pressure as more fan conventions booked her and she lauched a tour of public appearances.

A few months later, she posted “Burnt Out at 19,” a video that directly addressed pressures she was feeling off camera. In its most heartbreaking moment, audio of Mills having a panic attack plays over a shot of her bedroom — a vacant laptop sitting on the sheets. The footage became a centrepiece in the larger social conversation about how feeding YouTube’s bottomless content pit was driving its creators into depression.

After her breakdown, Mills made some changes. She scaled back her weekly YouTube output to making videos only when she felt inspired. Over the past year she’s gone to therapy and leaned on her closest friends for emotional support.

Most importantly, she reminds herself that YouTube isn’t life or death, though she admits staying in that mindset isn’t always easy.

“If a video does badly, I literally feel like my YouTube career is over and I peaked,” she said. “And then it goes down the hill, and I’m like I can’t post again, I freak out and start hyperventilating. Then I realize the fact this is affecting me so badly — a YouTube video — that’s so not good.”

Mills doesn’t plan to sign off the platform, but she is focused on other projects. YouTube exposed her to a world of new options, including “Kids Plan!” a series for Facebook where she helps kids plan romantic dates for their parents, and an upcoming digital series for Nickelodeon.

Eventually she’d love to direct a movie in the vein of her favourite filmmaker John Hughes.

“I really just want to bring back that feeling of a good teen movie — I feel like we’re lacking that right now,” she said.

Perhaps next year, she’ll begin exploring the possibility of moving out of her parents’ house too — buying a home in Ottawa to mark her growing independence.

“I’m just so bad with my money — I spend it on videos,” she said.

“I feel like I’m the type of person that needs to learn from their mistakes. I need to experience it, and then be like: ‘This is why I can do that.'”
