Vida the Vet

Vida the Vet made its debut on BBC's CBeebies and streaming platform BBC iPlayer in the UK and Corus Entertainment's Treehouse and streaming platform STACKTV in Canada during the Fall of 2023 as the 13th series from the creators of the powerhouse preschool franchise PAW Patrol, and has since been made available on Netflix.

Spin Master Entertainment is orchestrating a strategic global franchise roll-out and will lead consumer products cross-category licensing worldwide, which launched with toys in 2024. Corus Entertainment's Nelvana has been secured as the exclusive licensing and merchandising representative for the brand in Canada and France, whilst WildBrain CPLG represents the franchise in the U.K. and Ireland, Europe (excluding France), Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), Middle East and Africa (MENA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) including China, Japan and Korea (excluding Australia and New Zealand).


"Spin Master Entertainment has deep experience creating award-winning content and engaging stories for preschoolers that are infused with a sense of play," said Jennifer Dodge, Spin Master's President of Entertainment, in June 2022. "Featuring a gorgeous, colorful world with a distinct look and feel, Vida the Vet will enchant preschoolers and their families with curious, courageous and caring stories about a little girl and her animal neighbors who show us how to take care of ourselves and others." 

"The classic and familiar world of Vida the Vet, with its beautiful 2D artwork and core theme of nurturing love for all animals, is the perfect property to extend across all facets of children's lives," said André Lake Mayer, Spin Master's SVP, Global Strategic Partnerships & Consumer Products.  "We are excited to activate our growing consumer products enterprise with a fresh new property that will resonate within all key categories and regions and through strategic partnerships and promotions worldwide."

Katara Joins The Quest In 'NickToons & the Dice of Destiny'

A calm mind. A fierce spirit. A wave of power.

Katara | Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny

GameMill Entertainment has revealed that master waterbender Katara from Nickelodeon's beloved animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, is the next hero joining the quest in Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny, unleashing a full kit of spellcasting abilities on the four-player co-op game!

Calm, focused, and absolutely icing the competition with her frozen rain barrage and frozen prison abilities, Katara is a Spellcaster/Healer, and brings to the game several fighting skills and healing abilities, including the Water Whip, a Classic Southern Water Tribe technique, along with Water Wave, Ice Pillar, Focus, Frozen Prison, Healing Pool, and Frozen Rain.

The character reveal also provides a closer look at the game's art style. SpongeBob's typical look didn't have to change much, as it ports well into Dice of Destiny. Katara, meanwhile, has been reimagined as a shorter, squishier character to suit the game's aesthetic, much like how the game handles Leonardo, the Ninja Turtle, who is also making his way to the family game as seen below.

Katara's abilities

The waterbender naturally has a host of water-based abilities that will deal damage to enemies and/or heal allies, making Katara a reliable support character for your Nicktoons party.

  • Water Whip - Whips enemies with water, restoring her mana in the process. Leaves behind a puddle that speeds up allies and slows enemies.
  • Focus - Restores mana and provides a shield that reduces incoming damage.
  • Water Wave - Summons a massive wave that pushes enemies back while dealing damage.
  • Ice Pillar - Raises a tower of ice that shoots spinning frost discs outward in all directions.
  • Healing Pool - Creates an area-of-effect healing area for allies.
  • Frozen Prison - Freezes puddles and enemies at once, dealing damage and stopping enemies in their tracks.
  • Frozen Rain Barrage - Summons an ice storm that rains down on the battlefield.

Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny - Katara Character Showcase

Katara | Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny

Katara joins previously announced characters SpongeBob SquarePants and Leonardo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with several more will be unveiled soon. Can you identify anyone from the silhouettes below?

Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny

Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny is a vibrant, universe-spanning mashup that brings iconic Nickelodeon heroes into a world of fantasy-style tropes and real-time RPG action. 

Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny is coming Fall ‘25 to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and Epic Games Store. To wishlist on your favorite platforms, visit GameMill Entertainment's game page at https://gamemill.com/games/nicktoonsdiceofdestiny/

‘Blue’s Clues’ Host Steve Burns to Launch Podcast to Help Former Viewers Navigate Adult Life

The podcast, Alive, is joining Lemonada Media's lineup.

Original Blue’s Clues host Steve Burns is launching a podcast designed to continue teaching the adults who watched his show as children.  

The podcast, titled Alive, billed as a “cozy and delightful weekly series,” will tackle the idea of “adulting” and “what it means to stay human in a complicated world.” The idea was sparked by the viral video Burns released around the 25th anniversary of the show, in which he apologized for leaving the show and praised his former viewers for now navigating the world as adults, including contending with student loans, jobs and families.  It was a moment when Burns “found himself in conversation again with tens of millions of grown-up fans who still considered him a friend,” according to Lemonada Media, which is launching the podcast, slated to premiere this fall. .

Alive will feature Burns engaging in vulnerable conversations with guests, who have not yet been announced, as he “continues to connect with both the generation who grew up with him and new audiences alike.”

“There are a thousand podcasts you can listen to, this is one that listens back. I really want to continue what we started decades ago…. For us, it was all about curious investigation. It was about looking a little closer. About asking the right questions. About following the clues that helped lead us toward greater understanding. Alive is really just a continuation of that same conversation — only now we’re grown-ups, trying to make sense of a world that’s a whole lot more complicated. We’re still searching, still learning, still trying to connect. Still doing our best to lead deeply examined lives, together,” Burns shares. “And, you know, there’ll be less talking furniture, sure, but we’re still going to have a lot of fun along the way.”


Burns said his show will be different from many other podcasts. It’s not going to focus on creating something you merely listen to. He says Alive “will be a podcast that listens back,” which is what “Steve” on Blues’ Clues did. He “listened” to kids calling out answers to his questions.

Alive is a weekly show in which the actor, musician and writer and his guests will discuss “what it means to stay human in a complicated world.” The podcast will touch on themes including mortality, masculinity, loneliness — and success.

In a video announcing his new podcast, Burns said "It's basically a societal requirement at this point that everyone has a podcast, so why don’t we have one?," adding "It could basically be what we’ve always done. You and I have always been about this deep and curious investigation of our world in search of these little bits of information that lead to greater understanding," he continues.

“Adults need to be shepherded through life just as much as kids do, and Steve is the perfect person to do it,” said Jessica Cordova Kramer, CEO of Lemonada. “He taps right into your inner child, helping listeners feel delight, comfort and curiosity. From the moment we saw Steve’s videos on TikTok during the pandemic, we knew we had to work with him.”

Lemonada Media was founded in 2019 by Jessica Cordova Kramer and Stephanie Wittels Wachs. The podcast network is home to popular shows from Meghan Markle, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Samantha Bee, David Duchovny and Sarah Silverman. Last month, Stockholm-based PodX Group acquired a majority stake in Lemonada.

The title joins its lineup of podcasts including Wiser Than Me With Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Fail Better With David Duchovny, The Pink House With Sam Smith and more. Lemonada was recently acquired by Sweden’s PodX Group.

“Adults need to be shepherded through life just as much as kids do, and Steve is the perfect person to do it. He taps right into your inner child, helping listeners feel delight, comfort and curiosity. From the moment we saw Steve’s videos on TikTok during the pandemic, we knew we had to work with him,” said Jessica Cordova Kramer, CEO of Lemonada. 

Burns recently announced Steve Burns Alive, his debut solo live show for adult audiences, written by Burns and Matthew Freeman (The Ask) and directed by Freeman. The pop-up performance will run July 23-25 at the Club at La MaMa in Manhattan’s East Village neighborhood.

Burns starred as a fictional version of himself on Nick Jr.’s Blue’s Clues in more than 100 episodes from 1996 to 2002. Since then, Burns has released indie rock albums, toured with The Flaming Lips, wrote the theme song for CBS’s Young Sheldon and appeared on The Moth storytelling program. His exit from Blue’s Clues spawned a persistent internet rumor that he had died, which he recently spoke about on Rainn Wilson’s Soul Bloom podcast.

On the educational children's show Blue's Clues, he played a fictional version of himself, also named Steve, who followed paw prints that served as clues left by an animated dog named Blue.

After he was replaced by Donovan Patton, who played Steve's "younger brother," Joe, Burns revealed in the 2006 Nick special Behind the Clues: 10 Years of Blue that he left the show because he felt he was growing out of the role. “I knew I wasn’t going to be doing children’s television all my life, mostly because I refused to lose my hair on a kid’s TV show. And it was happening fast,” he said at the time.

The revamped and retitled Blue’s Clues and You with new host Joshua Dela Cruz ("Josh") premiered on Nickelodeon in November 2019. Burns and Patton returned for multiple episodes, with Burns also serving as producer.

The host said during a 2024 commencement speech at SUNY Delhi in New York that he is regularly approached by adults who tell him how much the show mattered to them as children.

Steve invites you to join him on the journey as he prepares for the launch of his new video podcast this Fall. From the original host of Blue's Clues, Alive with Steve Burns will be a podcast that listens back.

Season 1 will tackle issues near and dear to Steve’s fans. As millennials navigate an ever-changing world, Steve will host conversations on topics ranging from personal finance to spirituality and modern love. Made in partnership with Lemonada Media.
