Nickelodeon Greenlights "The Ludwigs" For Local And Global Audiences
The children's entertainment and media news website Kidscreen is reporting the very exciting news that Nickelodeon has greenlit a brand-new project from Dutch production company that will yield two new series: An English-language, globally commissioned production titled "The Ludwigs", and "De Ludwigs", a Dutch-language production commissioned by Nickelodeon Netherlands (Nederland)!
The new series for kids ages six-to-12 (20 X 30:00 minute episodes) follows the comedic adventures of five foster children who are on a quest to find out what happened to their foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig, after they mysteriously disappear. While they work to unravel the mystery, the kids must keep up appearances that everything's fine at home, and fend off the Ludwig's greedy and duplicitous heirs.
"De Ludwigs" will air on Nickelodeon Netherlands in Spring of 2016, and English-language "The Ludwigs" will begin airing on Nickelodeon channels globally in the second half of 2016.
Both productions will be filmed and produced by Blooming Media in Amsterdam next year and will share the same sets.
The commission follows Nickelodeon's success with the daily, serialized format of hit shows such as "Every Witch Way", "House of Anubis", "Make It Pop", "Talia in the Kitchen" and "W.I.T.s Academy":

Nickelodeon orders The Ludwigs for local & global audiences
Nickelodeon is going back to where it all began.
When Europe-bred House of Anubis launched in the US in 2011, the mystery series marked Nickelodeon's first global live-action production filmed outside the US that went on to perform well on both domestic and global levels. Since then, the net has been actively pursuing a similar simultaneous production strategy, wherein series are produced in local territories and for the global market at the same time. Every Witch Way and Talia in the Kitchen, both of which were locally made by Nickelodeon Latin America before being primed for the world stage, followed the Anubis blueprint. (Talia is set to go worldwide in 2016).
Now, the net is focusing its attention on The Netherlands production scene once again. (Nickelodeon Netherlands worked with Belgian-based Studio 100 to co-produce the original, Dutch-language version of House of Anubis - Het Huis Anubis – in 2006). Local prodco Blooming Media has received the greenlight on a new project that will yield two new series: An English-language, globally commissioned production titled The Ludwigs, and De Ludwigs, a Dutch-language production commissioned by Nickelodeon Netherlands. Both productions will be filmed and produced by Blooming Media in Amsterdam next year and will share the same sets.
"We started to look outside of Latin America, and Ludwigs will take the same structure as Talia and Every Witch Way in that it will be filmed locally with one set and one storyline, but with different scripts," says Jules Borkent, SVP of global acquisitions and international programming at Nickelodeon, Viacom International Media Networks. "There are a lot of markets that have demand for local live-action content, and Holland is one of those places. There's a big market for Dutch comedy drama. We did House of Anubis, but we've never done an English-language version out of Holland. So it's super exciting."
The new series for kids ages six to 12 follows the comedic adventures of five foster children who are on a quest to find out what happened to their foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig, after they mysteriously disappear. While they work to unravel the mystery, the kids must keep up appearances that everything's fine at home, and fend off the Ludwig's greedy and duplicitous heirs.
De Ludwigs will air on Nickelodeon Netherlands in spring of 2016, and English-language The Ludwigs will begin airing on Nick channels globally in the second half of 2016.
"Audiences these days are so globalized. Amsterdam is very much a part of the story in The Ludwigs, and locations for us act as characters in the story," notes Borkent. "We really try to bring in local culture to kids shows and feel there is diversity in that. And there is a strong desire to expand on that."

2015 HALO Awards Honoree Spotlight: Riley Gantt, "Rainbow Pack"
Riley Gantt, 15, from Sherman Oaks, California is one of the four inspirational recipient's of the 2015 Nickelodeon HALO Awards for his work in the community!
While most 10-year-olds were complaining about homework, Riley realized the importance of these assignments. She also knew that many students took for granted the ability to complete them. During a field trip to one of the elementary schools in her community, Riley had an eye-opening conversation with a girl in kindergarten. Like many other students, this young girl did not have the supplies to complete her homework because her family could not afford them. Inspired by the conversation, Riley founded Rainbow Pack, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing students with materials that will help make them successful learners, regardless of their economic circumstances. Even schools without a great deal of financial support manage to acquire supplies for the classroom. However, the real disadvantage for students occurs at home. Simple tools, like a pencil or a ruler, can be the difference between success and failure. When students are able to complete their homework, they perform better in the classroom and are less likely to drop out of school.

With funds raised through fundraising, grants, social media and school supply drives, Riley has successfully donated over 9000 backpacks filled with school supplies to kids in the Los Angeles area. In all of the schools where Riley and Rainbow Pack have helped, the teachers attest that almost all of their students complete their homework and are more excited about learning!
Watch Riley Gantt, along with her fellow HALO Awards honorees - Joshua Williams, Miami Beach, Florida, Ethan Cruikshank, 16, Mechanicsville, Virginia, and Ruchita Zaparde, 18, Plainsboro, New Jersey - receive their honors at the must-see concert event of the season, the 2015 HALO Awards, hosted by Nick Cannon, premiering Sunday, November 29th at 7pm (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon USA, TeenNick, Nicktoons, TV Land, CMT, Nick.com and the Nick App!

2015 HALO Awards Honoree Spotlight: Joshua Williams, "Joshua's Heart Foundation"
14-year old Miami Beach, Florida resident Joshua Williams is one of the four inspirational recipient's of the 2015 Nickelodeon HALO Awards for his work in the community! Joshua's commitment to eradicate hunger started with a roadside donation to a starving man when he was four and a half years old. Through William's organization, Joshua's Heart Foundation, he designed a food distribution system in local churches, schools and community centers, and continues to raise awareness of hunger and poverty at speaking engagements.
"We have food drives and we have food distributions where we help people in our community," Williams said. His foundation has over 6,000 youth volunteers and has distributed over 1.1 million pounds of food in South Florida, Jamaica and Africa to date, and helped feed over 50,000 people nationwide.
Like the three other honorees, Williams found out that he was selected for the HALO Awards by a drone which delivered the message. "I was just skateboarding in the park and all of a sudden this drone came down and surprised me," he said.
Universal Orlando Resort will also be featured as part of the 2015 Nickelodeon HALO Awards for the first time in the history of Nickelodeon's community service recognition special.
A portion of the 2015 Nickelodeon HALO Awards filmed at Universal Orlando Resort Nov. 7, including appearances by Nick Cannon and a performance by alternative rock band Walk The Moon. The show will air Nov. 29, at 7 p.m. across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons, TV Land, CMT, Nick.com and the Nick App.
The show and organization honors teenagers that are making a difference in their communities. The HALO Awards, which is an acronym for "Helping And Leading Others," airs Sunday at 7 p.m. across Nickelodeon USA, TeenNick, Nicktoons, TV Land, CMT, Nick.com and the Nick App.
"There's no feat too big or too small when you think about actually helping your community," said host, creator and executive producer Nick Cannon. "All of these amazing honorees that we have with us right now come from different walks of life and actually have their own mission and their own passion and that's the beauty of HALO."
The Universal Orlando segment of the show was recorded on Saturday 7th November 2015 and featured a performance from alternative rock band Walk the Moon.
"One of the greatest things that has come from this amazing couple of years for us is that we found we have a really incredible fan base with young kids and families," lead singer Nicholas Petricca said. "Having a positive message and having a positive impact is important to us, in addition to just playing music for fun."
The 2015 HALO Awards will also feature performances by Fifth Harmony, DNCE with lead singer Joe Jonas, Flo Rida and Tori Kelly. Justin Bieber will be presented the first-ever HALO Hall of Fame Award for his work with Make-A-Wish foundation. Those segments were recorded at New York's Pier 36 on Saturday 14th November 2015.
In addition to the surprise concert by Walk the Moon, the four honorees had time to enjoy Universal Orlando Resort.
It was Williams' first visit.
"We rode some roller coasters, met Optimus Prime and saw a parade," he said. "It was a really good time."
Watch Joshua Williams, along with his fellow HALO Awards honorees - Ethan Cruikshank, 16, Mechanicsville, Virginia, Riley Gantt, 15, Sherman Oaks, California, and Ruchita Zaparde, 18, Plainsboro, New Jersey - receive their honors at the must-see concert event of the season, the 2015 HALO Awards, hosted by Nick Cannon, premiering Sunday, November 29th at 7pm (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon USA, TeenNick, Nicktoons, TV Land, CMT, Nick.com and the Nick App!

Calabash And Nickelodeon Creative Advertising Deliver New "On The Run" Kid Cuisine Ad
Official Calabash Press Release via Animation World Network:
Calabash Delivers New Kid Cuisine Ad
Entertaining new spot for popular kids meals features updated brand character K.C. Penguin and 'Hotel Transylvania 2' tie-in.
CHICAGO, IL -- K.C. Penguin, the brand icon for KidCuisine kids meals, just can't seem to get away. That's the premise behind the new spot "On The Run," featuring 3D animation by Calabash via agency Nickelodeon Creative Advertising, New York. The new spot, directed by Matt and Jason Docter (aka The Docter Twins) and edited by Glenn Conte of Northern Lights, New York, features a clever tie-in to the new animated feature film starring Adam Sandler, as well as a revamped animated K.C. Penguin character.
"We were excited to work with Nickelodeon Creative Advertising on this well-established brand and character," commented Sean Henry, Calabash's Executive Producer. "It is always a fun challenge to update an existing character. Our goal was to freshen up K.C.'s look without straying too far from the existing design. It was important that he remain recognizable and retain his personality and attitude."
"On The Run" opens with a comically terrified K.C. Penguin running down a hall holding a Kid Cuisine meal in each hand and shouting, "they're coming!" The 'they' of course is the cast of Hotel Transylvania 2. Thinking he's safe behind a closed door, K.C. is immediately confronted by something even scarier, hungry kids who love the character-shaped chicken nuggets and mac n' cheese found in special Hotel Transylvania 2 Kid Cuisine meals. The spot ends with kids gone and K.C. sneaking up to the table to deliver his new signature line, "Fun tastes goo-oo-oo-oo-ood!."
"K.C. Penguin is an iconic character, but the creatives wanted to take him to the next level," Wayne Brejcha, Calabash's Creative Director notes. "We gave him a more physical appearance and made his faux-hawk haircut look a bit more feathery. Ironically it takes huge effort, thought, experience and long hours to make KC fit in the setting and feel effortless in his animation."
For Northern Lights editor Glenn Conte the creative challenge was taking all of the various elements (Calabash's 3D animation, the live action shots and footage from the actual film) and making it all work together seamlessly. A task, he notes, was made easier thanks to Calabash's understanding of the K.C. character.
"To be able to work with a company like Calabash is great for an editor because they know how take an animated character to a whole other level and fully grasp its essence, its DNA," Conte says. "Besides the look, they added to his personality in a way that elevated the entire project. A spot like this takes a lot of teamwork, and working with Calabash was a pleasure."
Henry adds, "Directors Matt and Jason Docter did a terrific job with the live action, capturing dramatic angles and lighting, and a sense of drama while still keeping it light for the intended family audience. Nickelodeon Creative is an agency that understands the animation process innately. They gave us clear communication about their own ideas, but were also open to ideas and approaches from us."

The inaugural Play Fair is timed and co-located with the 113th edition of TIA's North American International Toy Fair, the largest toy trade show in the Western Hemisphere and a massive marketplace welcoming 30,000 manufacturers, distributors, importers, and sales agents from over 90 countries to New York City.
"Play Fair will provide toy lovers of all ages with unique and unparalleled access to enriching immersive events and experiences built around the power of play," said Marian Bossard, Toy Industry Association SVP of Global Market Events. "It's a truly one-of-a-kind event for families and fans to explore nostalgic and innovative toys and brands in an all-ages atmosphere that can't be beat!"
"We're humbled and thrilled to work together with TIA on Play Fair," said Greg Topalian, President of LeftField Media. "For more than a century, TIA has gathered the professional side of the toy world together at Toy Fair, and now families, fans, and collectors will finally get to experience this excitement inside their own event. Play Fair will be a space to create fun, engaging, and rewarding connections between brands, their current fans, and the fans of tomorrow – and get a glimpse at new toys before anyone else on the planet!"
Play Fair will be headquartered inside New York's Javits Center and will turn all of Manhattan into a giant "game board," encouraging attendees to visit various iconic New York institutions and landmarks to make the most of their time in the city and unlock Play Fair discounts, exclusives, and rewards.
"Our launch of Play Fair couldn't come at a better time, as we're seeing a growing number of studies and reports that underscore play's crucial developmental benefits to children, and its impact on the happiness and well-being of adults," added Steve Pasierb, TIA President & CEO. "We look forward to welcoming families from far and wide for a spectacular event filled with magical moments and playful experiences that they will be re-living and talking about long after they leave the show."
Play Fair is launching as part of a new partnership between the Toy Industry Association and LeftField Media. The LEGO Group and Nickelodeon have been confirmed as presenting sponsors.
