Nickelodeon and Viacom Consumer Products (NVCP) has partnered with Belgium-based Leomil Group to launch an international range of children’s footwear inspired by Nickelodeon's hit animated preschool series Shimmer and Shine. The girl-focused line of shoes will be available this winter (2017/2018) across several markets in Europe, the Middle East and Russia, and will introduce several new shoe styles to the licensee’s portfolio.
Shimmer and Shine
The multi-year licensing agreement is an extension of a long-term strategic partnership between Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) and Leomil. The footwear manufacturer has also taken the license for Spin Master’s PAW Patrol, also represented by Nick, and the licensed shoes are available in a number of territories including France, Germany, BNL, the UK and MENA.
The inaugural Shimmer and Shine consumer products line debuted in the US last summer. It includes dolls and accessories from Fisher-Price, as well as a number of partners across apparel, publishing and home entertainment.
In February, Viacom outlined increased resource investment for Nickelodeon after it reported its best performance in the six to 11 demo in five years. The strong results were buoyed by more than 140 episode launches of new and returning series and specials in Q1 2017.
Nickelodeon recently renewed Shimmer and Shine for a fourth season comprised of 20 x half-hour episodes. The animated preschool series follows twin genies-in-training as they go on adventures and grant wishes for their friend Leah.

The brand-new one-hour Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn special, formally titled "The Wonderful Wizard of Quads" finds a hometown celebrity (Tia Mowry-Hardrict, Instant Mom, Sister, Sister) returning to Boulder, Colo., to direct the local production of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The Quads know these are the roles they were born to play, but when Dawn does not get the part of Dorothy, she goes on a mission to prove that she deserves the part over a theater diva (Jade Pettyjohn, School of Rock, Rufus 2). The special will also guest star three-time Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas, who will play Twisty, the head of the Gold Medal Girls who resides in the land of the munchkins.
The episode also will feature two original songs performed by Greene and Pettyjohn.
"There is a lot of flipping, which is very relatable, and kind of sassy lines. I saw myself in the character, how I would act and things I would say," Douglas told The Hollywood Reporter.
"I like not playing myself," Douglas added. "That's what I love about acting: It's different and it's an art. You get to be someone else and connect with someone's emotions."
While filming the episode in January 2017, Douglas said there was a moment when she gave the cast and crew "an adrenaline rush." She was performing a gymnastics move in the air when she noticed a group of kids close to her. "Someone almost did, but no one got injured," Douglas said. "They told me to do a flip and I saw all these kids behind me, so I had to slow down gravity and kind of bend my knees to not hit them."

The 30-year-old actor, who rose to fame on Nickelodeon in the early 2000's, said his “I dos” on Saturday — marrying longtime girlfriend Paige O’Brien in a sweet ceremony in Malibu, California.
They were joined by friends, family, and a few celebrity guests — including John Stamos, who costarred with Peck on the 2015 FOX sitcom Grandfathered.
According to shots shared on social media, O’Brien wore a cream-colored strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline and ivory-colored embroidery. Peck wore a classic black tuxedo.
