Entertainment One has announced the oink-tastic news that Nick Jr. UK and Ireland, Nickelodeon UK's top-performing preschool channel, will premiere the brand-new Peppa Pig Halloween special, titled "Pumpkin Party", on Monday 26th October 2015!


Produced by Astley Baker Davies, the all-new episode will be Peppa Pig's first Halloween special!

To coincide with the broadcast debut of the "Pumpkin Party" episode, eOne has collaborated with selected partners to develop a brand-new Halloween themed collection of Peppa Pig apparel, publishing and home entertainment products poised to launch at retail this October.

In the apparel category, Blues Clothing has developed an extensive line of Halloween themed daywear for Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons and Misirli will launch a pyjama set exclusively at Tesco. Cooneen will debut a line of kids' pyjamas at Sainsburys, and Roy Lowe is on board for a range of Halloween themed socks.

In the publishing category, Penguin will launch a story book "Peppa's Pumpkin Party" and a Peppa Halloween sticker activity book while the brand's magazine partner, Redan will produce a special Halloween themed issue of "Fun to Learn Peppa Pig" magazine on Thursday 15th October 2015.

Entertainment One will also release a "Peppa Pig Pumpkin Party" DVD on Tuesday 6th October 2015 which will include the brand new Halloween episode.

Hannah Mungo, head of UK licensing at Entertainment One, said: “Our seasonal Peppa Pig ranges perform consistently well at retail and the launch of the new Halloween episode makes this the perfect time to introduce Peppa merchandise to the Halloween season.

"We have secured a strong line-up of retail partners for these new products and we look forward to seeing them at retail this Autumn."


Additionally, eOne Licensing will be hosting Peppa Pig storytelling sessions at the Children's Bath Literary Festival in the UK on Saturday 3rd October 2015, in partnership with master publishing partner Ladybird Books.

The Bath Festival of Children's Literature is the largest dedicated children’s book festival in the UK and is staged in association with headline media partner, The Telegraph, and retail partner Waterstone's.

The event was created to enthuse children with a passion for reading and ties in with eOne's Imagine with Peppa marketing campaign which aims to highlight the importance of fun and imaginative play in a child's early years development.

eOne has developed Peppa Pig branded resources which will be available to download from www.peppapig.com to give parents inspiration for creative storytelling and role play.

In addition to digital marketing activity, eOne will also be partnering with Tumble Tots for a Peppa Once Upon a Time themed campaign throughout its physical play centres nationwide during The National Children's Activity Week. Broadcasters Nick Jr. UK and Ireland and Channel Five will also support with on-air activity.

"What better way to kick start our Imagine with Peppa marketing initiative than at the UK's biggest children’s book festival," said Rebecca Harvey, head of marketing at eOne Licensing.

"We're committed to harnessing the popularity of Peppa Pig to highlight important issues, and the festival is a great opportunity for us to connect with families and demonstrate the benefits of imaginative play on the development of young children."

Nick Jr. Australia & New Zealand To Premiere "Little Charmers" On Monday 18th May 2015

The Australian magazine Femail Magazine is reporting the exciting news that preschoolers will enter a whimsical world of spellbinding adventures when Nickelodeon Australia's preschool channel, Nick Jr. Australia & New Zealand, starts to premiere and show "Little Charmers", a brand-new CG-animated preschool series that celebrates the magic of friendship, weekdays at 3.30pm (AEST) from Monday 18th May 2015!


"Little Charmers" is an brand-new animated series for pre-schoolers produced by Nelvana Enterprises and Spin Master Entertainment ("PAW Patrol") featuring charmer-in-training, Hazel, and her two best friend charmers, Posie and Lavender, who are getting a broom handle on their special powers. On any given day in the magical land of Charmville, these novice charmers are excited to break in their magical powers and go on exciting adventures led by fearless go-getter Hazel. She knows while in training she should only use her magic for really important things, but it's just too hard NOT to use magic to go on a cool adventure, help someone, fix something, or just have fun...even when it backfires, which it often does. Luckily, she has Posie, an apprentice Spellerina and Lavender, who is training to be a Potionista (mixer of magic potions with a fashion flare) to back her up. Together these Little Charmers make their way in the world of wonderment around them. No matter what their fantastical day brings, like accidentally setting loose a herd of unicorns, or teaching a baby dragon to fly, it still always comes down to friendship, learning about yourself and having fun along the way. "Little Charmers" empowers viewers to feel confident they too have the magic inside (power, talents, abilities, self-esteem, confidence) and can do anything they set their hearts and minds to.

Nick Jr. Australia & New Zealand To Premiere "Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks" On Monday 4th May 2015

The Australian magazine Femail Magazine is reporting the exciting news that Nickelodeon Australia's preschool channel, Nick Jr. Australia & New Zealand, will start to premiere and show the brand-new CG-animated preschool series Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks weekdays at 5:00pm from Monday 4th May 2015!


The new animated series, ALVINNN!!! and The Chipmunks, created by Janice Karman, will take pre-schoolers on a roller-coaster ride of music, laughter and stories geared to entertain The Chipmunks' four generations of fans. Presented for the first time in glorious CGI, the series features ground-breaking animation and a new, original Chipmunk song in every episode. The series is an animated version of a prime-time sitcom and reflects the trials and tribulations of a single parent, David Seville, trying to raise six hyper-active Chipmunks. Like most parents, Dave's patience will be pushed to the limit, forcing him to end most sentences in "ALVINNN!!!"

ALVINNN!!! and The Chipmunks is created, written, produced, voiced and directed by Janice Karman. She and her husband, Ross Bagdasarian, are the owners of the popular Chipmunks franchise and producers of the previous 1980's hit TV series and three blockbuster Chipmunks movies. The new ALVINNN!!! reboot series marks the return of the franchise to TV after 20 years and is produced in collaboration with OuiDO! Productions and was commissioned by M6.

Nickelodeon acquired the broadcast rights to the first two seasons (104 x 11 minute episodes) of ALVINNN!!! and The Chipmunks in February 2014 and will roll the show out on more than 70 of their international channels (excluding Nickelodeon USA and Nick Brazil) in early 2015.

Fans in the UK and Ireland can catch brand-new episodes of Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks every Friday at 5:30pm, only on Nick Jr. UK and Ireland!

Features:

* Three locations: The Badlands, The Snowy Slopes and The Monster Dome

* Environmental obstacles like an ice patch in The Snowy Slopes and Crusher-based contraptions like a pineapple blaster

* Power ups like tire chains to avoid slippery spots, soapy tires to fly through sticky patches, and hubcaps to fill the "Let's Blaze" acceleration meter

* Experiment with up to 15 STEM-related items like magnets and acceleration boost pads

* Two different driving controls – tilt and swipe

* 15 levels that progress in difficulty

* Gold, silver or bronze medals awarded to each race

* Trace a unique path for each race course

* Create and edit tracks along the way

* Save up to 12 courses in each location

The Blaze and the Monster Machines app is the latest offering of Nickelodeon's curriculum-driven preschool apps. Nick has launched more than 20 preschool apps including the newly released Nick Jr. App and other top-performing titles like PAW Patrol Rescue Run (problem-solving and social skills), Wallykazam! Letter and Word Magic (literacy), Bubble Guppies Animal School Day (science), and the award-winning Nick Jr. Draw and Play (creativity and imagination).

Each action-packed episode is filled with monster trucks, physical humor and upbeat original songs with lyrics that highlight a STEM concept such as adhesion, friction, force, trajectory and magnetism.
