Nick USA Launches Nickelodeon Style Instagram Page

With different clothing launches happening every single day, it can be hard to find the perfect ones. Until now, that is!


Take all of my money!

Nickelodeon USA recently launched Nickelodeon Style, a brand-new Instagram page that curates Nickelodeon fashion, so you can shop all of your favorite styles and live out your nostalgia style dreams all in one place! Whether you're a fan of '90s cartoon characters or today's shows, this is one page that you'll want to add to your bookmarks ASAP!

It's no secret that there are some great Nickelodeon merchandise out there. Everyone from Walmart to BoxLunch have created Nicktoons-inspired lines. What you might not know is that there's a way to find all the best items in the same place. Nickelodeon Style's Instagram page finds all the best clothing, accessories, and knick-knacks and puts them all in one place. Basically, it's ever single item that you could possibly need to finish your collection!

No matter what price point you're looking to shop of how you want to do it, there's something for you on the Nickelodeon Style Instagram page. There's graphic tees from Target, beach towels from Walmart, and even Moschino. There's tons of brands in-between as well. Bottom line: it's everything that a Nickelodeon fashion lover could need and so much more!

The fun doesn't stop there, though. Instead of just showing you what's out there, it gives the exact links to shop, with most products just a click away with the link in their profile! Get your wallets ready, because after seeing all these amazing items, you're going to want them all.

What are you doing still reading this? Head over to the Instagram page and get to shopping, my friends!

Kappa Mikey | Unseen Pilot For MTV

Before landing on Nicktoons Network, Kappa Mikey was initially pitched to Nickelodeon's sister network, MTV. A pitch pilot episode was made for MTV, before the series was picked up by Nicktoons Network. The pilot for Kappa Mikey has never been publicly seen.. until now! Sergei Aniskov, the director of Kappa Mikey, released a rough cut version of the pilot, featuring temporary voiceovers and music, on his official YouTube channel! Check it out below!: (Please note, as the pilot was made for MTV, the content in the video is a bit more mature than in Nickelodeon's version of the show.)



I remember I spent a few nights sleeping in the studio putting it all together. It was worth it though. )))

Kappa Mikey follows nineteen-year-old actor Mikey Simon, Japan's biggest anime star. After the Ohio native wins a contest to star in Japan's once-popular TV show, LilyMu, Mikey takes Japan by storm, and the show shoots back to the top of the ratings. But Mikey is still a fish out of water in Japan, and his off-screen antics reflect that fact.

Created by Larry Schwarz, Kappa Mikey was Nicktoons Network's first original half-hour series, bought during the same period as other Animation Collective series such as Three Delivery and Speed Racer: The Next Generation, and is the first anime to be produced entirely in the United States. The series is a homage/parody of Japanese anime.

Kappa Mikey ran for 52 episodes over two seasons between February 25, 2006 and September 20, 2008.

Schwarz conceived the series in 2000, when he was running Rumpus toys, a toy design company in New York City, but they folded before any storyboarding could commence. They resurfaced years later as Animation Collective, and produced an early test pilot for a pitch to MTV Networks, where the character designs and backgrounds resembled more like those found in Adult Swim series Perfect Hair Forever, and the humor was also more adult-oriented. Much of the current cast was voicing their characters even this early in production. MTV declined the deal, and Nickelodeon eventually picked up the project. The series was tweaked heavily in order to be aimed at a younger audience. Voice talents were usually local, and its audio was recorded at Manhattan-based NYAV Post, which Michael Sinterniklaas owns. The series was animated in Adobe Flash, with some moments of CGI rendered in Maya. The show's title is a play on the word kappamaki, a type of sushi.

Maya Le Clark's Audition Tape For "The Thundermans"

In honor of the cast and crew filming the final episode of The Thundermans on Friday 28th August 2017, actor Maya Le Clark, who portrays Chloe Thunderman, the youngest member of the Thunderfam, has unveiled the fantastic audition tape she filmed to get the role of 'Chloe' on Nickelodeon's hit comedy series on her official Instagram profile page, @mayaleclark! Check out Maya's adorable video below!:

On March 12, 2015 we were asked to create an audition tape for this cool show called the Thundermans. It was perfect for our family: sweet and silly all at the same time, and we love weird. Who would have thought that this tape would take us on an almost 2.5 year journey with some of the best people?! Today that journey ends here at Paramount. It was one we will never, ever forget! We are grateful for every single person on this team. Be prepared to see a lot more posts from all us as we type through tears! Thank you @nickelodeon! And thank you to @baby_kid_onsetwranglers who truly taught Maya about acting. Thank you to the cast, we know it was a challenge to take on a little kid after two years @jackgriffo @therosablasi @mrchristallman @kirakosarin @addisonriecke @diegovelazquezj
