Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) has announced the exciting news that Nicktoons Scandinavia will host the Nordic premiere of Nickelodeon's brand-new original animated comedy series (Nicktoon) Pig Goat Banana Cricket when the channel launches on Wednesday 1st February 2017!
Locally titled Pig Goat Bana Cricket in Denmark (Danmark) and Pig, Goat, Bana och Cricket in Sweden (Sverige), Pig Goat Banana Cricket follows four friends nature never intended - a pickle-obsessed Pig, a Goat with musical dreams, a Banana who loves video games and a Cricket with a crazy science lab - in Boopelite City, a gigantic, fantastical metropolis unlike anything you've seen before; where fruit can walk, animals can talk, the sidewalks are crammed with animals, robots and sea creatures, and you can find all your pickle needs at the downtown Picklemart! The quad are roommates in a treehouse, which sits in the middle of the city, surrounded by the forest, seas and everywhere else the foursome could possibly go.
From surviving a fudge-pocalypse to challenging Prince Mermeow in the underwater city of Catlantis, Pig, Goat, Banana, and Cricket often find themselves in sticky situations... but wherever these four friends go, they always know where they'll end up: TOGETHER!
Pig Goat Banana Cricket is created by Dave Cooper and Johnny Ryan, established comic artists who worked on several issues of Nickelodeon Magazine, and executive produced by David Sacks (The Simpsons, Regular Show) who co-writes with J. Ryan. Dave Cooper also art directs the series. The pilot was directed by independent animator Nick Cross. The Latin American Spanish dub of the series was recorded in Mexico.

Dialogue For New "Rocko's Modern Life" TV Movie Recorded; Crew Working On Design And Animatic Stages
Joe Murray, the creator of Nickelodeon's iconic original animated series (Nicktoon) Rocko's Modern Life, has posted a few updates about the production status of Nickelodeon's upcoming brand-new Rocko's Modern Life TV movie on his official Journal!
In a post in November 2016, Joe revealed that the Rocko's Modern Life special will be about “Change”.
Joe has also announced that the dialog for the movie has been recorded, and that the production crew are currently deep into design, backgrounds and animatic stages of the film. Joe also mentions that he'll be visiting Korea in January 2017 for the next stages of the movie.
Joe also revealed in a post earlier this month that the production crew are painting the backgrounds for the movie traditionally rather than digitally, with pencils and paper getting used, which is a rarity in the animation business these days.
To celebrate Nickelodeon's upcoming Rocko's Modern Life TV movie, Joe has also unveiled a fantastic photo from the movies' storyboard featuring a few thumbnails of a deleted scene from the film! In the scene, Spunky becomes radioactive after drinking a power drink. Poor Spunky:
