NickToons UK Announces Plans To Premiere The Brand New Acton-Packed Animated Series "Huntik: Secrets And Seekers" Soon!
Nickelodeon UK has announced the Nickelodeon UK News in a brand new promo/trailer (below with transcript) that Nickelodeon UK and Ireland's animation channel, NickToons UK and Ireland, will start to premiere and show the brand new Italian animated action series created and directed by Iginio Straffi, the creator of the popular animated Nickelodeon series "Winx Club", called "Huntik: Secrets & Seekers" soon, possibly in 2013, as part of NickToons UK's Winter 2012/2013 highlights and "2013 on NickToons UK"!:
NickToons UK's brand new animated action show "Huntik: Secrets & Seekers" is an action adventure comedy/drama about a group of Seekers traveling around the globe in search of ancient Amulets that can invoke different types of titans. Long before our times, humanity fought against an evil of unimaginable power. The darkness was broken only by the Seekers, humans able to invoke legendary creatures - the Titans - into their own plane of existence. With the Titans executing their every order, the first Seekers fought against the dark forces of the underworld and against themselves. Centuries went by, and one by one, the Titans were hidden: some were buried following grueling battles, others merely forgotten as time passed. The magical and powerful creatures lie hidden and dormant in the most remote parts of the universe, waiting to be awakened by a new and bold group of Seekers. After centuries, the Seekers divided themselves into chapters in order to find traces and clues of past and extinct populations in order to reveal the mystery of the Titans. The Huntik Foundation reaching for these answers will travel from the tip of the South American continent to Europe, from North America to African terrains. Only the most worthy of Seekers are able to invoke the Titans and benefit from their unbelievable powers.
"Huntik" is an Italian animated series created and directed by Iginio Straffi (creator of the "Winx Club"), and is a co-production between Big Bocca Productions, a company owned by Richard McWilliam, CEO and owner of Upper Deck and Rainbow S.p.A., and is one of the spin-offs to Nick's popular "Winx Club" series. All of the show's designs, animation and visual style were created in Italy, while the scriptwriting and original voice recording were done in the United States.
Season one of "Huntik: Secrets & Seekers" introduces viewers to Lok Lambert, a normal highschool boy who is thrown into a new life of Titans and battles when he discovers his father's amulet along with his journal; proof that he may still be alive. He meets Seekers Sophie Casterwill, Dante Vale and Zhalia Moon, who help him learn to be a Seeker and to try and find his father, Eathon. But, there are those that plot in the shadows: the evil Organization with their tough leaders; DeFoe, Rassimov, Klaus and Grier. With danger and betrayal lurking around the corner, the shattered team must try to pull themselves together for the worst is yet to come. The young team of seekers must take down enemy number one The Professor,who is one of the most powerful seekers to have ever graced the face of the earth.Who is coming closer and closer to taking over the world if he is not stopped before time runs out and gains the most dangerous power and amulets,and Titans. After an awesome battle of seekers and titans The Professor is ultimately defeated in the end. Dante and the rest of the seekers celebrate the defeat of The Professor and talk and wonder of the future yet to come and their further involvement with the Foundation. Lok becomes a skilled and talented young seeker thanks to the teaching of Dante Vale and his newfound experiences on the previous adventures.
In a brand new series, mysteries need to be solved, riddles need to be cracked, and it all needs to happen
before school starts.
[Lok Lambert: Did I mention that I have a history final tomorrow?]
Let the adventure begin!
[Lok Lambert: I hope this works!]
Huntik: Secrets & Seekers, this weekend at 8am, only on NickToons!

Nickelodeon's Popular Animated Series "The Legend Of Korra" Wins IGN's Best Of 2012: Best TV Animated Series Of 2012 Award!
Entertainment website IGN has announced on their official website, ign.com, that they have voted and announced that Nickelodeon's brand new original animated Nickelodeon series (Nicktoon) "The Legend of Korra", which is a sequel to the hit Nickelodeon show "Avatar: The Last Airbender" (also known as "Avatar: The Legend of Aang") as the winner of the "Best TV Animated Series of 2012" award in the television section of their "Best Of 2012" awards, which celebrates all the best television of year, beating stiff competition from Nickelodeon's brand new CGI-animated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series to take the title!:
Nickelodeon's brand new animated original series (Nicktoon) "The Legend of Korra" takes place 70 years after the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender and follows the next Avatar after Aang – a girl named Korra (Janet Varney) who is from the Southern Water Tribe. With three of the four elements under her belt (Earth, Water and Fire), Korra seeks to master Air. Her quest leads her to Republic City, the modern "Avatar" world that is a virtual melting pot where benders and non-benders from all nations live and thrive. Korra quickly discovers that the metropolis is plagued by crime as well as a growing anti-bending revolution that threatens to rip the city apart. Under the tutelage of Aang’s son, Tenzin (J.K. Simmons), Korra begins her airbending training while dealing with the dangers at large.
Best of 2012 [IGN]Congratulations, Nickelodeon!
TV
If you are complaining there's nothing good on TV these days, you're just not paying enough attention. 2012 had an embarrassment of riches, as beloved series like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones came back with strong new seasons, while the ever-compelling Mad Men returned after an extended absence. On the comedy front, behind-the-scenes drama at Community didn't change how great the actual episodes we saw in the spring were, while series like Louie and Girls were daring, edgy and funny in continually compelling ways.
After an absence for several years, we're bringing back the Action category this time out, as series about spies, gladiators and a rogue nuclear sub provided plenty of exciting twists and turns. Meanwhile, there was plenty to love in the animation world, including a new incarnation of the Ninja Turtles and a kick ass sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender. And when it came to sci-fi and horror, there was some terrific thrills and chills in the form of zombies, observers, Time Lords and more.
There was so much to love on TV, we can almost forget we were subjected to Work It as the year began. Almost...
Best TV Animated Series
It's a rare thing for a television spinoff to recapture the success of its source material--rarer still for an animated spinoff. But in the case of The Legend of Korra, Avatar: The Last Airbender creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino have really outdone themselves. Not only did this series live up to the name "Avatar," but it also established itself as a wholly unique and self-contained adventure, boasting an immersive world, beautiful animation and a dynamic cast of characters--not to mention some good laughs along the way. From Korra's rich emotional triumphs to the comedic stylings of Bolin and Pabu, The Legend of Korra has something for just about everyone. That is why it earns our pick for Best Animated Series--and you gotta deal with it!
