Psst… to celebrate Nickelodeon and Kidrobot Nick-tastic new collection, here are some fun facts for this release. Soooo, “Are you ready, kids? AYE AYE CAPTAIN! I can’t hear youuuu! AYE AYE CAPTAIN!”
1) Ickis is allergic to slugs
2) Stephen Hillenberg (the creator of SpongeBob SquarePants) used to teach Marine Biology and he was on the creative team behind the first three seasons of Rocko’s Modern Life.
3) If you remember Pee Wee’s Playhouse, then you may remember a claymation starring a girl named Penny – if you look closely at some of those shorts you’ll spot a clay version of Arnold from Hey Arnold!
4) Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers was the voice behind wild child Donnie in the The Wild Thornberrys.
5) The production company Klasky Csupo, is responsible for producing and animating 3 of the Nicktoons in this miniseries – Rugrats, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters and The Wild Thornberrys. Additionally, Arlene Klasky and Gábor Csupó are real life inspiration behind the characters Didi and Stu Pickles.
6) Voice actor, Billy West, voiced both Ren and Stimpy from 1993 to 1996. Actually, Mr. West is behind 100’s of voices and has probably landed on one of your favorite animated series at some point – notably, for Nick 90’s purposes, he’s also been on CatDog, Hey Arnold! and Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, and was even the original voice of ZIM in the un-aired pilot of Invader ZIM!
7) The B-52’s sang the theme song for seasons 2-4 of Rocko’s Modern Life (you’re welcome if you get “Love Shack” and "Rock Lobster" stuck in your head for the rest of the day)
8) SpongeBob SquarePants is the only Nick 90’s toon still airing new episodes… it’s been on air for 18 years - and has been commissioned for season 12, set to premiere during the series’ 20th anniversary year in 2019!
