Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The series continues to showcase the camaraderie of the four mutant brothers, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo as they use their ninjutsu skills to battle the supernatural evil forces that threaten not only New York City, but the entire world. At the end of season two, the Turtles were forced out of New York by Shredder and need to retreat in order to gain new skills and strategies, and return to fight back for control of New York. They also have to rescue Splinter and take revenge against Shredder and new villains along the way. In the first episode, "Within the Woods," the Turtles come to grips with the possibility that Leonardo won't get better, while things only get worse as a new mutant captures Raphael.
Beginning this season, Seth Green (Robot Chicken) joins the voice cast as Leonardo alongside Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings) as Raphael, Rob Paulsen (Planet Sheen) as Donatello, Greg Cipes (Teen Titans) as Michelangelo, Mae Whitman (Parenthood) as April O'Neil, Hoon Lee (Royal Pains) as Master Splinter and Kevin Michael Richardson (Penguins of Madagascar) as Shredder. Josh Peck (Drake & Josh) is Casey Jones, and Corey Feldman (The Goonies) reoccurs as Slash. The series is executive produced by Ciro Nieli.
The first global mobile app based on the TV show, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run launched in 2013 and was number-one among all paid apps in the U.S. and in more than 40 territories around the world. It consistently ranks in the top 10 paid gaming apps on iTunes. Last year, Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon released the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mobile Game for the film "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" globally for iOS, Android and Amazon devices. Nickelodeon also launched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated emoticon stickers* on Weixin and WeChat globally in 2014.
Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn
Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn follows the hysterical adventures of the four, 10-year-old quadruplets of the title who don't have much in common, except their birthday and their parents. The show finds the Harper quadruplets in situations everyday kids experience, but multiplied by four. From each of them planning their own "grownup" birthday parties to finding the perfect babysitter to seeing a scary movie for the first time, Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn may approach life differently, but in the end they can always depend on each other. The show airs on weekdays at 3.50pm (TH/WIB), 4.05pm (HK/SG), and 4.50pm (MY), and 8pm (PH).
*Availability of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated emoticon stickers vary by markets.
