Nickelodeon Russia and CIS Acquires Rights To "Robodz"; To Debut Series In February 2015

The children's entertainment and media news website Kidscreen is reporting the exciting Nickelodeon International News that Nickelodeon Russia and CIS has acquired the broadcast rights to "Robodz", a new 15 x 11-minute CG-animated family comedy series produced by the Russian production company Studio Atria, from London, UK-based boutique distributor Media I.M.! As part of four-year deal, Nickelodeon will start to premiere the show in 14 countries, including Russia, across the CIS and Baltic territories, in February 2015.


"Robodz" follows the lives of robots who ended up far, far away from human society. The story is based on the premise that all the robots who have been sent to Mars as part of various space missions over the years have lost connection with the Earth, and have ended up making Mars their new home. Over the last few decades many space missions have reached Mars, however some lost contact with their respective space agencies. What happened to them? Robodz!


Spaceship wreckage provided the perfect material and tools to make Robodz at home on Mars, enabling them to build their homes and fill their lives with all the supplies and essentials they needed. The Robodz population on Mars grew and prospered, a civilization was built and the story of the Robodz began.


Each episode is a humorous fun-packed story of the everyday life of the Robodz on Mars and beyond, touching on subjects of friendship, rivalry, right and wrong, which always leaves the viewers with a smile! Each character in the series is unique, has very individual qualities and different interests. They are far away, made of metal and live in a very un-Earth like hostile environment, however they are not that dissimilar from us.
