Nickelodeon UK To Premiere "Rufus" On Friday 27th May 2016

The online British and Irish TV guide website Digiguide is reporting the PAWsome news that Nickelodeon UK and Ireland and Nickelodeon HD UK, the number one commercial kids TV network in the UK, will premiere the brand-new Nickelodeon Original Movie Rufus on Friday 27th May 2016 at 6:00pm!


Following the films debut, Nick UK & Eire/HD will encore the all-new Nick Flick Rufus on Monday 30th May 2016 at 11:00am and on Friday 3rd June 2016 at 11:00am, 4:31pm and 10:00pm.

Ever wondered what would happen if your Dog became a dude? Manny lives the tail in Rufus! In Nickelodeon's brand-new original television movie, Manny has moved to a new school, and is finding it hard to fit in. After wishing he had more friends, Manny finds a mysterious collar and puts it on his loyal dog, Rufus. Suddenly, Rufus is magically transformed into a real boy!


Manny's not sure what to do, so he enrolls Rufus in school. Quickly, Manny learns that having a dog-turned-dude by your side is pretty awesome, but it's no walk in the park, either. When the other students notice Rufus's silly dog antics - chasing squirrels, eating without utensils, asking for belly rubs, and catching soccer balls and flying discs with his mouth - he immediately earns school-wide pup-ularity. Manny's jealousy soon gets the better of him when his crush, Paige, takes a special interest in Rufus, but he eventually learns that a Dog's loyalty to his owner always comes first.

Rufus stars Jace Norman (Henry Danger, Splitting Adam) as Rufus, Haley Tju (Bella and the Bulldogs) as Paige, and Davis Cleveland (Shake It Up!) as Manny.
