"Pig Goat Banana Cricket" follows four friends nature never intended - a pickle-obsessed Pig, a Goat with musical dreams, a Banana who loves video games and a Cricket with a crazy science lab — in Boopelite City, a gigantic, fantastical metropolis unlike anything you've seen before; where fruit can walk, animals can talk, the sidewalks are crammed with animals, robots and sea creatures, and you can find all your pickle needs at the downtown Picklemart! The quad are roommates in a treehouse, which sits in the middle of the city, surrounded by the forest, seas and everywhere else the foursome could possibly go.

Pig Goat Banana Cricket is a series of absurd interwoven stories that follows the eponymous characters Pig (the fool), Goat (the artist), Banana (the wise-guy) and Cricket (the brain), as four friends and roommates who live in a fantastical city where just about anything comes to life.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mega-sports stars Stephen Curry, Alex Morgan, Lindsey Vonn, Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson were among the winners of the second annual Kids' Choice Sports 2015, Nickelodeon's adrenaline-packed awards show where kids celebrated their favorite athletes and the year's most unforgettable sports moments. Hosted by Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson, orange mohawked blimps were handed out live Thursday, July 16, at 8 p.m. (ET/tape delayed for West Coast) from UCLA's Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles in one slimy sports celebration.

Five-time World Series Champion Derek Jeter was honored with the Legend Award at this year's show in recognition of his unmatched talent, integrity and sportsmanship on and off the field. Upon receiving his golden mohawked blimp, Jeter was then suddenly doused from head to toe in gold slime that fell from a New York Yankees sign high above the stage.

Throughout the night, three kids had the opportunity to compete in one athletic feat each as part of Nickelodeon's "Triple Shot Challenge," which gave them the opportunity to win $50,000. Two of the talented kids kicked and shot their ways to victory in the soccer and basketball challenges. Thirteen-year-old Roee Maor played in the soccer competition, where he had five attempts to hit the crossbar from 30 yards away in 60 seconds. The Demarest, New Jersey, native nailed the crossbar on the first attempt, taking home a check for $50,000. A short time later, 14-year-old Jonathan Clark of Monrovia, Calif. sunk a half-court shot on the first attempt of five, also walking away with a $50,000 prize.

Additional highlights from the sports celebration included: Little League phenom Mo'Ne Davis smashing a blimp off of Nick Cannon's head with a baseball on the second throw; sports trick-shot group Dude Perfect surprise sliming Wilson after Detroit Pistons' Andre Drummond, U.S. figure skater Gracie Gold and Philadelphia Eagles' DeMarco Murray missed the target during a dizzying challenge; a group of 16 kids beating Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl XLVIII champion Marshawn Lynch in a battle of tug-o-war; U.S. Women's National Soccer Team champions Carli Lloyd and Abby Wambach speeding through the finish line first against Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green and Klay Thompson during a tricycle relay race; and Grammy-nominated artist Ciara and host Wilson dancing the "Nae Nae."

The star-studded telecast's additional celebrity participants included: U.S. Women's National Soccer Team players Ashlyn Harris, Alex Morgan, Christen Press, Ali Krieger, Kelley O'Hara, Hope Solo, Sydney Leroux and Tobin Heath; Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry; Professional Alpine Ski Racer Lindsey Vonn; sportscaster and television host Erin Andrews; U.S. figure skater Ashley Wagner; Los Angeles Sparks' Candace Parker; and Nickelodeon cast members from 100 Things To Do Before High School, Henry Danger, Bella and the Bulldogs and Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, among others.
