BURBANK, Calif.--August 10, 2020--Nickelodeon and CBS Television Studios today announced that award-winning director and producer Ben Hibon (Codehunters) will direct, co-executive produce and serve as the creative lead of Nickelodeon’s all-new animated series Star Trek: Prodigy. The CG-animated series, which expands the Star Trek Universe, follows a group of lawless teens who discover a derelict Starfleet ship and use it to search for adventure, meaning and salvation. Star Trek: Prodigy will debut exclusively on Nickelodeon in 2021 for a new generation of fans.

“Ben’s contributions to the world of animation are immeasurable, and we are so lucky to have his vision and creative genius on Star Trek: Prodigy. As an incredible storyteller and a world builder with a distinct vision, his original approach paired with this beloved property will bring the characters to life in a whole new way,” said Ramsey Naito, Executive Vice President, Animation Production and Development, Nickelodeon Group.

Said Hibon, “Getting the chance to work on an IP like Star Trek has been an incredible opportunity, particularly when partnered with the talented teams at Nickelodeon, CBS and Secret Hideout - who have been pushing the boundaries of what animation and serialized storytelling for younger audiences can deliver.”

Hibon’s incredible gift as a storyteller parlayed him into directing the animated “Tale of Three Brothers” sequence in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (PART 1), which was nominated as part of Warner Bros.’ VFX submission to the Academy Awards. Hibon along with David Yates also won the British Animation Award for this sequence.

Star Trek: Prodigy will be from CBS’ Eye Animation Productions, CBS Television Studios’ new animation arm; Secret Hideout; and Roddenberry Entertainment. Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Katie Krentz, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth will serve as executive producers alongside Kevin and Dan Hageman. Mac Middleton will serve as a producer with Aaron Baiers as co-executive producer.

Ben Hibon is represented by UTA; Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson & Christopher, LLP; Heitmann Entertainment’s Tarik Heitmann and Sentient’s Renee Tab.

###

Hibon’s most recognizable claim to fame might stem from his work on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. While working on that film, he directed the animated “Tale of Three Brothers” scene where Hermione Granger recounts the legend of the titular artifacts, which was nominated as part of Warner Bros’ VFX submission to the Academy Awards.

That film originally aired during the MTV Asia Music Awards in 2006 and can be viewed here.

The Hageman brothers turned to Twitter today to express their appreciation for Hibon’s work on Prodigy.


And it turns out, Hibon has been working on Prodigy for a while. He even tweeted about it during Comic-Con@Home.


Update (8/16) - Based on the show's premise, Prodigy is expected to take place during the Discovery season 3 timeline, set after the fall of the Federation.

Update (10/7) - Alex Kurtzman has revealed to SFX that, although production on live-action Star Trek series have been hit hard by the on-going COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, with shooting only just ramping back up, the teams on Lower Decks and Prodigy, the new Nickelodeon series, have been working non-stop, however, there's still “quite a lot of animation left to do”.

The first official TV advertising campaign for Wotch Creations’ collectible range Smiley Halves is now underway across the Nickelodeon network in the UK, following a successful launch this month.

The TV campaign commenced on Thursday 1st October 2020, and is running throughout the month In total, the 30-second advert, which demonstrates the collectible, swappable and colourful nature of Smiley-Halves, will be shown 414 times – an average of 14 times a day – across Nick, Nick Jr. and Nick Jr. Too. A shorter 20-second advert will also appear on the Nickelodeon YouTube channel.

Holly Stafford-Smith, director of Wotch Creations, told Toy World: “The pre-launch and launch activities have been really well received, and everyone who has ordered and received their Smiley-Halves has been really excited to start to ‘Collect and Connect’. We’re encouraging kids to come up with all sorts of wonderful and wacky games to play involving the Smiley-Halves, and to share their ideas with us via social media. We’ve invested substantially in influencer campaigns, content for which will be being posted within the next week or so – I’m really excited to see what content the influencers can come up with.”

Wotch has also announced a live draw taking place at 6pm tomorrow (Thursday 8th October) to reveal which limited edition Smiley-Halves will be joining the line-up for a limited time. Fans can join the company on Facebook Live tomorrow to find out which colour and face will be up for grabs. Click here to visit the company’s Facebook page.


The Walsall-based family business hopes its substantial marketing investment, as well as the innovative and highly collectible nature of the product, will soon result in the creation of a second wave. The initial launch range comprises 10 blind-bagged emoticons in 22 variations, including six coloured editions of varying rarity and limited-edition Legendary glow in the dark versions that add to the collectability of the range. Not just a collectible toy, Smiley-Halves will allow kids to communicate how they are feeling in a unique way. Each magnetic half can also be mixed and matched with any other to create totally new expression. Each complete Smiley-Halves fits in one hand and the movement from the Hexa-Plex technology provides a distinctive and satisfying click when turned, perfect for keeping hands busy.

Nickelodeon Readies Next Chapter of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with All-New CG-Animated Theatrical Release Produced By Point Grey Pictures

NICKELODEON READIES NEXT CHAPTER OF TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES WITH ALL-NEW CG-ANIMATED THEATRICAL RELEASE PRODUCED BY POINT GREY PICTURES

Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver to Create All-New Iteration of the Iconic Franchise and Its Chaotic Cast of Crime-Fighting Ninja Turtles

Theatrical Motion Picture Directed by Jeff Rowe and Written by Brendan O’Brian; Paramount Pictures to Handle Worldwide Distribution


BURBANK, Calif.-June 30, 2020-Nickelodeon and award-winning Point Grey Pictures’ Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver are jointly announcing today that production will begin on an all-new CG-animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theatrical motion picture. Marking the Nickelodeon Animation Studio’s first-ever CG theatrical production, in partnership with Ramsey Naito, Executive Vice President, Animation Production and Development, overseeing production for Nickelodeon. Josh Fagen is overseeing for Point Grey Pictures. Paramount Pictures will handle worldwide distribution of the film.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theatrical motion picture will be directed by Jeff Rowe (Gravity Falls, Connected, Disenchantment) and written by Brendan O’Brian (Neighbors, Sorority Rising, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates).

Said Brian Robbins, President, Kids & Family for ViacomCBS: “Adding Seth, Evan and James’ genius to the humor and action that’s already an integral part of TMNT is going to make this a next-level reinvention of the property. I’m looking forward to see what they do, and I know that Ramsey Naito and her team are excited to take the Nick Animation Studio into another great direction with their first-ever CG-animated theatrical.”

Considered one of the most popular kids’ franchises, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a classic, global property created in 1984 by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. It first debuted as a successful comic book series and then became a hit animated TV show, a live-action television series and later spawned numerous blockbuster theatrical releases. The property is a global consumer products powerhouse, winning in every category that has hit shelves to date—with toys, apparel, video games, DVDs and more—and generating billions of dollars at retail.

Nickelodeon brought the franchise to life again in 2012 with the CG-animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and then reimagined the Heroes in a Half-Shell with the 2D-animated series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 2019. As previously announced, as part of a separate deal, Nickelodeon and Netflix are partnering to produce an original animated 2D film based on the current Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

###

Update (8/9) - Director Jeff Rowe took to Twitter to express his excitement about the project. He wrote: "When I was five my best friends were four sewer-dwelling, pizza-eating, crime-fighting turtles named after Renaissance artists. It’s my absolute pleasure to join Nickelodeon, Brendan O'Brien and the team at Point Grey in reintroducing them to the world."

Update (8/4) - In an interview with Insider, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg explain the challenges of the business, rebooting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:

Rogen and Goldberg are rebooting 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' and making a movie with the director of 'Call Me by Your Name'

Rogen and Goldberg are currently hard at work reviving the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" franchise with an upcoming animated movie for Nickelodeon. It will be directed by Jeff Rowe ("Connected") and written by "Neighbors" franchise scribe Brendan O'Brien. It marks the first time Point Grey has a legacy IP to play around with, and it's all the more special for Rogen and Goldberg as they are big fans of the heroes in a half shell.

"When I look at 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' the teenage part was weirdly what stuck out to me the most," Rogen said. "I think one thing we've been pretty consistently good at over the years is creating material about teenagers, from 'Blockers,' 'Good Boys,' and 'Superbad.' That was really what became exciting for us is how do we make a great action-adventure movie that's also a great teenage movie?"

Goldberg said the duo's personal interest became evident to everyone on the "Turtles" project in a recent call when he and Rogen found out some story notes were given to O'Brien that they didn't know about.

"We freaked out more than normal," Goldberg said. "They were just shocked by that, but we were like, 'Guys, we just really care about this.'"

###

Update (10/7) - Megan Fox, who played April O’Neil in Paramount Pictures' first two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, is reportedly keen to feature in Nickelodeon's new CG-animated TMNT movie! Update - Talking to Collider, Rogen revealed what will make his Ninja Turtles movie that’ll make it stand out from the rest:

“As a lifelong fan of Ninja Turtles, weirdly the ‘Teenage’ part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was always the part that stuck out to me the most. And as someone who loves teenage movies, and who’s made a lot of teenage movies, and who literally got their start in their entire profession by writing a teenage movie, the idea of kind of honing in on that element was really exciting to us. I mean, not disregarding the rest, but really using that as kind of a jumping off point for the film.”

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 Announcement Trailer | Xbox

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 Announcement Trailer | Xbox


Nickelodeon fans watch out! Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix is racing onto your Xbox One this October! Assemble the ultimate team! Choose between 30 racers across your favorite Nickelodeon series and combine with your ultimate pit crew from over 70 different crew members. Challenge friends online or in local multiplayer across 28 slime-filled tracks! Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix releases October 6. Info: http://nickalive.blogspot.com/2020/06/nickelodeon-kart-racers-2-grand-prix.html

From the Xbox Newsroom:

30 Playable Racers and 70 Pit Crew Members Featured in Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2, Available Now on Xbox One

Hello! Kyle with GameMill here. I made sure to put it in the headline because it is kind of a staggering number, but Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 has 30 playable racers and 70 crew members all borrowed from various Nickelodeon shows covering over 25 years of Nickelodeon properties.

You race as classic Nickelodeon characters like Tommy Pickles from “Rugrats” (don’t think too hard about why a baby is driving) and Rocko from his own modern life, as well as more recent characters like Lincoln Loud from “The Loud House.” There is even a real, human person in Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 with JoJo Siwa – a first for the Nickelodeon Kart Racers series. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are also present, alongside both Ang from “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and Korra from “The Legend of Korra” – shows that have been experiencing well-deserved resurgences thanks to their recent appearance on Netflix. It’s the biggest collection of Nickelodeon characters and properties that have ever been gathered into a single game.

The roster of characters is great, but the actual, mechanical Kart racing has also received an update since 2018’s Nickelodeon Kart Racers. Along with picking your racer, you choose from 70 optional pit crew members which will add all kinds of customizable bonuses. You can add Lynn Loud Jr. to your crew, for example, to get a boost every time you collect enough slime, or Eddie the Squirrel from “CatDog” to drop an “Invader Zim” lawn gnome when you drive through an item box. The pit crew roster ranges from obvious cameos, like Gary the Snail from “SpongeBob SquarePants”, to the more obscure like Eugene from “Hey Arnold!” who occasionally gives you a boost after you recover from getting hit.

There are more tracks this time around and you can also customize your kart’s engine, wheels, exhaust pipe, and look to really take ownership of your favorite racer, kart, and crew. And then you can take that racer online to compete against other players, or play with up to three other players locally. You can do a proper race and see who gets first place, or play in the Kids’ Choice Awards or Double Dare arenas in free-for-all, or the Control the Golden Spatula mode.

By covering more than 25 years of Nickelodeon, it’s the kind of game parents can easily play with their kids. You can play as the classic characters you watched growing up, and the young ones can play as the new characters kicking off the eternal debate of who is better (even though, privately, we all know the classics are the best).

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 is available now on Xbox One and will be backwards compatible on the Xbox Series X|S when those consoles launch in November.

Hasbro Confirms Conversations to Bring 'Power Rangers' to Animation

Hasbro has recently confirmed that they are looking to produce a animated Power Rangers at the Festival of Licensing, an online licensing event with Hasbro’s participation!


Yesterday the folks at Mega Power Brasil had a panel with representatives from Hasbro and Entertainment One (eOne) who had some interesting things to say about the future of the long-running franchise.

The Hasbro reps featured on the panel included Paula Kupfer (Hasbro Global Promotion Director), Casey Collins (Hasbro Vice President and Global Manager), Marianne James (Hasbro Consumer Division Vice President) Michael Kelly (Hasbro’s Global Vice President of Publications) and Matthew Proulx ( Hasbro’s Vice President for Location-Based Experiences).

HASBRO TEASES THE FUTURE OF POWER RANGERS

During the Festival of Licensing Hasbro was asked a question that got us fans talking:

Question: “The latest movie schedule didn’t feature the upcoming Power Rangers reboot. Is this still in the works?

Hasbro’s answer: “Power Rangers is a beloved property. We are really excited about the next season of Dino Fury. I think fans are gonna love that. As we partner with eOne, we are exploring all the different content for Power Rangers; including animation. So, [we have] a lot of projects in the works. To announce exactly what the road-map is, we’ll have more clarity by next year.”

In this quote Hasbro confirms that the upcoming Power Rangers movie, which Hasbro will be producing with Paramount Pictures, is still in development, however, more interestingly they confirm plans to bring the franchise to animation to some shape or form.

This is very interesting news to hear especially considering the rumors of Hasbro ceasing their partnership with Toei, including the use of footage from Super Sentai for the Power Rangers television series after the season or seasons of Dino Fury.

It is possible that Hasbro could be using an animated series to continue the franchise after Dino Fury is over. This is just speculation at this stage, however.

Speaking of which @D3rachi on Twitter about a week ago discovered that Bandai (who co-owns Super Sentai with Toei) no longer lists their trademark as Super Sentai (Power Rangers) but now just simply Super Sentai.


It is important to note that this is still not an official confirmation of the Toei/Hasbro split however this does seem to be point in that direction.

What are your thoughts on the possibility of a Power Rangers animated adaptation? Is this something you would like to see or would you rather they continue to go down the route of live-action? Let me know in the comments below!

For more on Power Rangers, please visit www.powerrangers.com and follow Power Rangers on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

For long-form news content, she will serve as Executive Producer of the net’s heralded Nick News series, which was recently rebooted in June with the acclaimed Kids Race and Unity special, hosted by Alicia Keys and which Laguerre-Wilkinson co-executive produced. Based in New York, she will report to Brian Robbins, President of ViacomCBS Kids & Family Entertainment.

Said Robbins, “Magalie is a gifted journalist and producer with a long-proven ability to communicate the news of the day with compassion, empathy and precision. Kids are well aware of the issues that affect their families and the world, and the talent and experience Magalie brings will serve as the foundation for how we aid or spark important conversations for our audience.”

Laguerre-Wilkinson joins Nickelodeon from CBS News’ 60 Minutes, America’s most watched news program, where she served for over 15 years as an Associate Producer and Producer on stories for Ed Bradley, Lesley Stahl, Bob Simon, Steve Kroft, Anderson Cooper, and more. She was the key producer on one of the broadcast’s most memorable and inspiring stories about the Kimbanguist Symphony Orchestra in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which won Peabody and Emmy accolades.


She has reported from far corners of the world, while also covering domestic stories including Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and Sandy in New York. Most recently, she produced stories on the political divide in the United States with Oprah Winfrey as a contributing correspondent, as well as profiles of French street artist, JR and the new music director of the New York Philharmonic, Jaap van Zweden. An interview host at Carnegie Council’s Ethics Matter and a producer and reporter for CUNY TV’s Arts in the City, Laguerre-Wilkinson previously worked as correspondent for CBS Evening News and producer for NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw.

The original Nick News, created, written, and anchored by Linda Ellerbee, and produced by her company, Lucky Duck Productions, aired on Nickelodeon for 25 years, ending when Ellerbee retired in 2016. Nick News won 10 Emmys, a Peabody, a Columbia DuPont, and the prestigious Edward R. Murrow award for Journalistic Excellence, the first and only time it was given to a children’s program. Nick News was noted for its ability to show kids respect, and for the direct way it explained world events,—including 9/11, U.S. wars from the first Gulf War through The Iraqi Invasion, presidential politics, HIV-AIDS and Hurricane Katrina—and for always giving kids a voice and a safe place to question their world.

Nickelodeon, now in its 41st year, is the number-one entertainment brand for kids. It has built a diverse, global business by putting kids first in everything it does. The brand includes television programming and production in the United States and around the world, plus consumer products, digital, location based experiences, publishing and feature films.

IMC Toys Strikes New Partnership with Nickelodeon UK for Cry Babies Magic Tears Content

Cry Babies Magic Tears heads to Nickelodeon

Going live at the end of September, animated Cry Babies Magic Tears short form content follows a host of IMC Toys’ Cry Babies characters.


IMC Toys has announced a deal with Nickelodeon UK for its Cry Babies Magic Tears short form animated content. The episodes, which are based on the company’s best-selling collectible range, started to be broadcast on Nick Jr. at the end of September. The linear content is being further supported with a dedicated digital hub, which is linked to NickJr.co.uk and hosts content and videos.

The partnership was brokered by Generation Entertainment.

The partnership, designed to reinforce brand awareness and engagement, will reach over 1m kids in the UK on the Nick Jr. channel between September and December. The partnership will also extend onto Nick Jr.’s social channels.

A spokesperson for IMC Toys commented: “By partnering with Nickelodeon we will build on our existing Cry Babies Magic Tears community, while further increasing brand awareness and engaging younger children with a host of new content developed for autumn 2020.”


Beyond the partnership with Nickelodeon, a strong mix of traditional, sponsorship, digital, social and influencer-led campaigns are scheduled to commence from the summer holiday period, with additional bursts planned for hero lines from September through to December.

Ranges including Cry Babies Magic Tears, Cry Babies, Bloopies, Bloopies Shellies, and VIP Pets will be supported with a collection of 10”, 20”, and 30” spots aired across terrestrial, satellite, and video-on-demand platforms. Placements include solus adverts for each of the ranges, complemented by combined spots for Cry Babies and Bloopies Shellies.

IMC Toys says the integration of a robust TV advertising programme, with digital and social targeting, reflects the company’s commitment to its key ranges within the UK/Ireland market. Full marketing support is in place for each of the brands, including high-profile social and influencer campaigns, pre-roll placements, continued TV sponsorships and new webisode content on IMC’s YouTube entertainment channel, Kitoons.

Originally launched in 2016, Cry Babies Magic Tears has sold over 5m units in 50 countries. IMC has expanded this best-selling range with the Winged House Series 2, which will feature a range of new babies to collect, each hidden inside a shimmering winged house. Kids feed the baby water, squeeze its belly and watch it cry coloured tears. Each baby comes with six different glitter accessories including a winged bottle, a dummy and either a bow and toy wagon or a bib and a highchair, as well as personalised stickers and a customised blanket. There are 12 different babies to collect including a rare baby that has a colour changing onesie.


The Cry Babies Paci House Series 2 features babies hidden inside a dummy shaped house which opens with tears. Kids use the pipette to drop tears on the chimney and make it pop open. Each baby comes with eight accessories including four customised to each doll. There are six babies to collect in the range, including an exclusive rare character with a glow in the dark onesie.
