‘Paw Patrol: The Movie’ Collars Milestone as Pups Roll Pass $100M at the International Box Office

Paramount/Nickelodeon/Spin Master’s Paw Patrol: The Movie has sauntered across the $100M threshold at the international box office, Deadline reports! The Cal Brunker-directed animated action adventure now counts $100.3M to date overseas, and over $140M global.


The film has been on a staggered overseas rollout due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in just six markets in mid-August last year, and continuing to add new hubs throughout September and more with solid holds. The pups also got a late-breaking China release on January 14 this year, making Paw Patrol one of just a handful of Hollywood titles in recent times to be approved. The film has a 9.2 on Maoyan and has grossed $8.8M so far. There are still some markets ahead, including Vietnam, where the film will open on February 4.

To date, Germany leads the international markets with $12.6M, followed by the UK ($12M), France ($11.5M), China ($8.8M), Poland ($5.3M), Spain ($3.5M), Mexico and Netherlands (tied at $3.1M), Australia ($2.9M), Japan ($2.4M) and Brazil ($2.4M).

On the offshore performance, Paramount’s President of International Theatrical Distribution, Mark Viane, said, “Having Paw Patrol: The Movie cross $100 million at the international box office is a terrific milestone for the franchise. Thank you to the legions of enthusiastic fans worldwide who continue to turn out at the big screen to see this film, and congratulations to our partners at Spin Master and Nickelodeon Animation and our talented filmmakers on this concerted team effort.” 

Domestically, Paw Patrol was made available on Paramount+, but still came in ahead of expectations when it opened to $13M in North American theaters last August (and without Regal Cinemas in the mix).

A sequel, Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, which sees the band imbued with superpowers, was announced in November for an October 2023 release.

Jimmy Timmy Power Hour REMADE in the Original Style (By A Fan) | Vailskibum94


The Fairly OddParents and Jimmy Neutron had a wild Nickelodeon crossover in the mid 2000s titled JIMMY TIMMY POWER HOUR! What happened in the alternate universe where Jimmy and Timmy met in the 90s? A Twitter artist decided to bring the idea to life with original designs.

While The Fairly Oddparents and Jimmy Neutron both began on Nickelodeon after 2000, the characters still existed in the 90s. Timmy Turner was featured in Oh Yeah Cartoons, while Jimmy Neutron was Johnny Quasar. Because of their history, this crossover theoretically could have taken place earlier.

Baby Shark Sets New Groundbreaking Record on YouTube

Baby Shark Sets New Groundbreaking Record on YouTube

- 'Baby Shark Dance' Becomes the First Video in History to Hit 10 Billion Views on YouTube

- After surpassing Luis Fonsi's 'Despacito' and topping the most-viewed YouTube video for 15 consecutive months, Baby Shark has broken another unprecedented YouTube record

Baby Shark Dance Becomes the First Video in History to Hit 10 Billion Views on YouTube

SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 14, 2022 -- The Pinkfong Company, creator of Baby Shark, announced that its iconic 'Baby Shark Dance' music video has officially become the world's first video ever to hit 10 billion views on YouTube, making it the most viewed video in YouTube history, as of January 13th, 2022. The video was released in June 2016.

Since surpassing 'Despacito' by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee in November 2020, 'Baby Shark Dance' has reigned as the most-viewed video on YouTube for 15 consecutive months. Now the video is 2.3 billion views ahead of second place.

Having achieved more views than the entire human population with its video, Baby Shark has become one of the most notable cultural phenomena generating tremendous amounts of engagement across the world. Accompanied by its iconic songs, dances and characters, it took the world by storm with the viral dance challenge called the #BabySharkChallenge, which everyone from little kids to the biggest global pop stars participated in. In addition to the viral challenge, its song swept the music charts recording a 20-week streak on Billboard's Hot 100 and certifying RIAA Diamond (11x Platinum) and BRIT certified 2x Platinum.


Following the global success of the original video, Baby Shark has expanded its universe beyond the internet with its own TV animated series on Nickelodeon, global merchandise licensing program, live tours throughout the world, interactive games, NFTs and more.

Baby Shark's Big Show!, the hit animated preschool series co-produced with Nickelodeon Animation Studio, successfully rolled out internationally in 2021 and has been greenlit for a second season while its feature film is in development. In the U.S., Baby Shark's Big Show! is a top 3 series on all TV with preschoolers for 2021, reaching over 26M viewers ages 2+ across Nickelodeon and the Nick Jr. channel. In Southeast Asia, Baby Shark's Big Show! is currently airing on Nick Jr. daily at 11am (WIB) and 12pm (MY, PH, SG).

The sequel of Pinkfong and Baby Shark's Space Adventure, the sing-along special that marked the fifth most-watched movie in Netflix's Today's Top 10 list in the U.S, is also in the works.

Min-seok Kim, CEO of The Pinkfong Company said: "We are delighted to announce that our beloved Baby Shark has recorded another remarkable milestone. It has been a truly meaningful journey to witness how Baby Shark has connected people around the world and we can't wait to introduce Baby Shark's further adventures that will bring unparalleled experiences to even more fans everywhere."

As part of celebrating the milestone, The Pinkfong Company will launch a year-long campaign, Beyond Infinity, which aims to build confidence in fans that anything is possible and achievable, just as Baby Shark has been able to expand its own universe beyond the internet.

Additionally, The Pinkfong Company also set another unprecedented record, receiving the Diamond Creator Award from YouTube as Pinkfong's Spanish YouTube channel surpassed 10 million followers as of January 10, 2022. This marks Pinkfong's third Diamond Creator Award from YouTube after receiving it for its English and Korean YouTube channels. In August 2021, the company received the Custom Creator Award from YouTube for surpassing 50 million subscribers on Pinkfong's English YouTube channel.

With 90 million subscribers and 50 billion views across the world, Pinkfong's YouTube channels have been one of the most influential channels for kids on the internet, offering more than 5,000 songs and stories in 20 languages.

'The SpongeBob Musical' to Take the Stage at Two Bay Area Schools in Houston, Texas

Musical productions centered on the world’s most famous sponge are coming to two Bay Area schools in Houston, Texas!

Ryan Hoxie as SpongeBob, Jayden Strawn as Patrick, Grace Chauvin as Sandy and the rest of the cast rehearse a scene from Clear Springs High School’s production of “The SpongeBob Musical." Showtimes are 7 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 28 through Feb. 5. Kirk Sides / Houston Chronicle.

The SpongeBob Musical is set for Jan. 28 through Feb. 5 at Clear Springs High School in League City and Jan. 28 through Feb. 6 at Friendswood High School in Friendswood.

The Tony Award-winning Broadway musical from 2017 is based on Nickelodeon TV’s hit animated comedy SpongeBob SquarePants, a zany look at undersea life created by marine science educator Stephen Hillenberg.

“It is incredibly fun and family friendly,” FHS theater director Kathy Powdrell told Don Maines for the Houston Chronicle. “It’s also a witty allegory that children will appreciate, and adults can read between the lines and extract even more from the musical’s message.”

“It is silly fun and not too heavy,” said CSHS theater director Mark Stonebarger. “In a world full of ‘heavy,’ kids still love watching the TV show today.”

At Clear Springs, the show is full of energy, said Stonebarger, noting that its star, Ryan Hoxie, is a former basketball standout.

“Luckily, our SpongeBob is in great shape,” he said. “That guy is built like a gymnast.”

Portraying other residents of Bikini Bottom are Jayden Strawn, Alex Reyes, Grace Chauvin, Ben Sandoval, Carson Campbell, Andie Rodriguez, Helena Byerman, Alex Fletcher, Jordan Tobias, Caleb Morris, Nick Delcid, Chris Kovich and Kyleigh Jackson.

The Electric Skates are portrayed by Sophia Guillory, Lia Nelson, Taylor Pleasant, Atsuko Price and Leyla Ruiz.

The show’s narrator, who says “Ah, the sea …,” is Ayden Moreno.

Foley Fish are played by Mahlijah Harry and Miray Tadres.

Some 20 more students portray a chorus of townsfish, sea anemones, sponges, sardines and pirates.

Collaborating with Stonebarger, the show’s director, are assistant director and choreographer Rozie Curtis and producer/music director Rob Phillips, who also designed and edited the program.

The technical director is Madison Martin, assisted by Heather Cuney.

Ethan Martin is the stage manager, assisted by Alyssa Blanco and Cole Prouty.

The company manager is Jada Rodrigues; the dance captain is Baileigh Martin.

Sound design is by Dylan Patman, with costumes designed by Rozie Curtis and Sonia Martin.

Costume assistants are: Hiro Otani, Carol Napier, Ryan Prouty, Ana Sanchez, Patty Hammer, Sarah Chauvin, Nikki Scheer, Alex Byerman, Stacy Strawn, Paige Martin, Christine Kovich, Nicole Morris, Angie Campbell and Rebecca Nepomnichy.

Rozie Curtis and Kasey Strickler designed wigs and makeup.

Trent Martin and Bryan Byerman constructed the set, along with students in technical theater classes.

Students on the technical crew include: Madeline Guillory, Dylan Patman, Stephen Cupitt, Peyton Hair, Timothy Owen, Vanessa Clark, Robert Jones, Brianna Parker, Connor Stelly, Jadyn Calvan, Jeremy LaCount, Reagan Rives, Elena Cruz, Tia Case, Olivia Benson, Kyle Waddell, Callia Haines and Aaron Fultz.

The show at CSHS ends a month of musicals at Clear Creek ISD high schools, said Sydney Hunt, the district’s senior communications specialist.

Earlier in January, Clear Creek High thespians performed “The Addams Family: A New Musical Comedy;” Clear Falls High performed “High School Musical;” and Clear Lake presented “The Pajama Game.”

“We interrupt this program …”

Fans can also catch a performance of “The SpongeBob Musical” at Friendswood High School, where sophomore Jimmy Perry leads the cast as SpongeBob SquarePants.

Maris Morgan plays Sandy Cheek, the iconic “science squirrel,” with Grant Newman as Patrick Star and Luke Johnstone as Eugene Krabs.

Connor Adams, a junior, portrays Squidward Q. Tentacles — “and yes, he will have four legs,” said Powdrell.

Sheldon J. Plankton is played by senior Jon Sims and his wife Karen is played by senior Ashley Campbell.

Among others in the cast are Mia Killian, Hayden Hobbs, Justin Paulder, Abilyse Caudle and Dagan Ray.

“The technical crew is working hard to create the underwater world of Bikini Bottom,” said Powdrell.

Student crew members include senior Coy White as the set construction head and James Nelsoto as the sound engineer, and Nathan Turnbaugh is the light crew head, assisted by junior Jason Enochs.

The costume crew head is senior Maddie Schatzke.

Projections are run by senior Max Bischoff.

The pit band is led by foley artists Andrew Krebs and Taylor Wiederhold, who perform a variety of sound effects.

“The show examines and critiques the politics of the modern era and features an eclectic score of music, each song composed by a different musical artist, with the purpose of recreating the type of musical hodgepodge that was exhibited by the original TV series,” said Powdrell.

As SpongeBob says, “I’m ready!”

Romero), must try their hardest to abide by Poppy's new, harsh rules. Realizing she cannot hide her sparkle or bow anymore, JoJo is kicked out of her dance troupe and must rediscover what dancing means to her. The movie made its debut on Paramount+, the streaming service from ViacomCBS in September 2021, and premiered on Nickelodeon in November 2021.

WIND AND SEA Enlists Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Upcoming Apparel Line

“It’s Pizza Time!”


WIND AND SEA, spearheaded by creative director Takashi Kumagai, is dropping a new apparel line featuring the pizza-loving heroes in a half shell, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

The world’s most fearsome fighting team began as a joke in 1983, but the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have had serious success ever since. Countless comic books, television shows, films, and video games have shown the group’s lasting appeal. So it’s no surprise they’re gearing up for more adventures. The property follows its nunchuck and sword-wielding reptilian adolescents through crime-fighting adventures in New York City.

WIND AND SEA feature the skilled ninjas in a curated apparel and accessories lineup, featuring hoodies, crew neck pullovers, long sleeves, T-shirts, and a pair of sweat pants. Accompanying the apparel line, WIND AND SEA adapts the slogan “It’s Pizza Time!” on a collection of dining accessories such as branded pizza napkins and plates, in addition to a custom keychain and skateboard deck.

In celebration of the collection, a pop-up will be held at PIZZANISTA! Tokyo in Harajuku, Tokyo, on Saturday, Jan. 29 through Sunday, Jan. 30. The pizza chain was founded by professional skateboarder Salman Agah in 2010 and has since opened two locations in Los Angeles and a flagship location in Seoul, South Korea.

The collection goes live on January 29 on WIND AND SEA’s official website and in-store at its flagship Nakameguro and Osaka locations.
