SpongeBobs Weihnachten – das große Special bei Nickelodeon

* Plankton will allen das Weihnachtsfest vermiesen. Kann SpongeBob ihn aufhalten?

* Premiere des großen Weihnachtsabenteuers am 8. Dezember um 17:30 Uhr

* Der Schwamm und seine Freunde werden erstmals als Puppen im „Stop-Motion-Verfahren“ zum Leben erweckt

Zu Beginn der Adventszeit präsentiert Nickelodeon eine besonders liebevolle und fantastische Geschichte rund um SpongeBob und seine Freunde. Denn erstmals wird der kleine Schwamm nicht gezeichnet zu seinen Unternehmungen antreten. Bei „SpongeBobs Weihnachten“ sind er und alle seine Freunde – und natürlich auch der fiese Plankton – als Puppen im Stop-Motion-Verfahren zum Leben erweckt. Mit dem Weihnachtsabenteuer ist es dem Kindersender gelungen, ein traditionell animiertes und zugleich zeitloses Special zu schaffen, das junge und ältere Fans begeistern wird.

Zum Inhalt:
Es ist Weihnachten in Bikini Bottom und das bedeutet auch tief unterm Meer eine Zeit voller Besinnlichkeit und Geschenke. Außer für Plankton. Der winzige Bösewicht bekommt nie etwas vom Weihnachtsmann geschenkt. Um dies endlich zu ändern hat er sich etwas besonders Durchtriebenes ausgedacht. Er will alle in Bikini Bottom in gemeine Ekel verwandeln, damit er als Einziger gut dasteht. Was er sich wünscht? Natürlich die geheime Formel für die köstlichen Krabbenburger. Für seinen Plan sind drei Schritte nötig.

Schritt eins: den speziellen, mit „Fiesonium“ glasierten Weihnachtskuchen an alle verteilen und sie somit in extreme Fieslinge verwandeln
Schritt zwei: einen bösen SpongeBob-Roboter bauen, damit der Weihnachtsmann glaubt, dass der gegen Fiesonium immune Schwamm ebenfalls ein Ekel geworden ist.
Schritt drei: die Formel für die Krabbenburger einsacken!

Wird Planktons größter Wunsch erfüllt oder wird SpongeBob den Plan durchkreuzen und Weihnachten retten?

Die Premiere von SpongeBobs Weihnachten ist am Samstag, den 8. Dezember, um 17:30 Uhr.

"We have changed the four turtles brothers light, they have slightly different skin tones, Donnie has the 2012 version of a missing tooth, Raph jumping into his tank - all just little things that we've changed gently emphasize the characters clearly. And we tell the story all over again: We have four brothers who compete with each other, their jokes with each other and learn to drive the world outside the sewers for the first time know. From the rivalry of brothers many funny slapstick scenes occur as well as the action-packed fight scenes with the opponents of the Turtles, "said Magallanes on.

* Sehr guter Start der „Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles“ bei Nickelodeon

* Bester Showstart bei Nickelodeon Deutschland seit Senderbestehen

* Neue Episoden der "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" sonntags um 10.30 Uhr bei Nickelodeon

Berlin, 7. November 2012. Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael und Michelangelo – besser bekannt als die Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – haben einen furiosen Start im deutschen Fernsehen hingelegt. Die Ausstrahlung der ersten beiden Episoden am Vorabend erzielte einen sehr guten Marktanteil von 16,3%*. Der Showstart rund um die vier mutierten Schildkröten liegt damit gleichauf mit dem Start von „Die Legende von Korra“ im September dieses Jahres. Vor allem in der Zielgruppe Jungen zwischen 10 und 13 Jahre erzielte die neue Serie einen besonders guten Marktanteil von 22,8% – insgesamt spricht die neue Animations-Serie „Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles“ mit 77% Jungen vor allem die männlichen Zuschauer an.

Kurz vor dem Serienstart waren Rich Magallanes (Senior VP Nickelodeon Animation) und Kevin Eastman (Co-Creator der Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) in Deutschland zu Gast. „Wir wollten die Glaubwürdigkeit und Integrität der Turtles unbedingt behalten und alte sowie neue Fans mit der Neueinführung ansprechen“, sagt Rich Magallanes. „Wir haben die vier Schildkrötenbrüder leicht verändert, sie haben etwas unterschiedliche Hauttöne, Donnie hat in der 2012-Version eine Zahnlücke, Raph einen Sprung in seinem Panzer – alles nur kleine Dinge, die wir behutsam geändert haben, um die Charaktere deutlicher hervorzuheben. Und wir erzählen die Geschichte ganz von vorn: Wir haben vier Brüder, die untereinander rivalisieren, ihre Späße miteinander treiben und die Welt außerhalb der Kanalisation zum ersten Mal kennen lernen. Aus der Rivalität der Brüder entstehen viele lustige Slapstick-Szenen ebenso wie die actiongeladenen Kampfszenen mit den Widersachern der Turtles“, so Magallanes weiter.
Die Episodenpremieren der Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles werden sonntags um 10.30 Uhr sowie um 17.30 Uhr bei Nickelodeon ausgestrahlt.

What do you think is happening here?

The taxi pulls up and Fabian runs over. He grins as he opens the taxi door, assuming it's Nina. But Eddie steps out. A large kit bag and assorted sporting equipment tumbles out after him.

Fabian [Brad Kavanagh]
1 Woah! You're not Nina!

Eddie [Burkely Duffield]
2 (Laughs) Not last time I checked! Hey! Good to see you, roomie!

Fabian laughs and slaps his friend on the back. Mr. Sweet hurries over and pays the taxi driver.

Eddie (Cont'd)
3 Hi Dad!

He goes to hug him, but it's a bit awkward. This is still clearly new to them both.

Mr. Sweet [Paul Anthony-Barber]
4 Good to have you back, son...

He's about to say more, then there's acommotion oov- two cars sounding their horns at each other. Mr Sweet hurries off to deal with it, looking a little frazzled.

Sweet
5 (over shoulder) Nose clean this term, Edison!

Eddie
6 (Calls back) Call me Eddie and I'll consider it!

Fabian picks up acouple of Eddie's bags.

Fabian
7 So did you see Nina...?

Eddie looks up sharply

Eddie
8 Huh?

Fabian
9 ...at the airport.

We might notice relief across Eddie's face. In the background Jerome [Eugene Simon] and Mara [Tasie Dhanraj] spot each other across the crowded yard...

Eddie
10 Fabes, you've got to play it cool, dude!
