Nickelodeon USA To Premiere 'Annie' (2014) On Thursday 23rd November 2017

Nick@Nite USA will host the network premiere of the popular movie Annie (2014), a modern retelling of the classic story which follows a plucky young girl who escapes the clutches of her calculating foster mother and charms her way into the heart of a hard-nosed tycoon, on Thursday 23rd November 2017 at 8:00pm ET/PT, as part of Nickelodeon USA's Thanksgiving highlights!

In Annie, academy Award nominee Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) stars as Annie, a young, happy foster kid who's also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014. Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they'd be back for her someday, it's been a hard knock life ever since with her mean foster mum Miss Hannigan (Cameron Diaz). But everything's about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx) - advised by his brilliant VP, Grace (Rose Byrne) and his shrewd and scheming campaign advisor, Guy (Bobby Cannavale) - makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in. Stacks believes he’s her guardian angel, but Annie’s self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it’s the other way around. The film also features: Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, David Zayas, Zoe Margaret Colletti, Nicolette Pierini, Eden Duncan-Smith, Amanda Troya, Dorian Missick, Tracie Thoms, Mike Birbiglia, Stephanie Kurtzuba, Peter Van Wagner, and Michael J. Fox (Back to the Future, Spin City). Annie is based on the comic strip and stage musical.

Nick Jr. India To Premiere 'Masha And The Bear' On Monday 13th November 2017

Animaccord's Masha and the Bear is making its way to Nick Jr. in India, in a deal that expands the popular cartoon's presence in the region. The CG-preschool series first premiered in India earlier this year on Viacom18's SVOD platform VOOT Kids.

Masha and the Bear will debut on Nick Jr. India on Monday 13th November 2017. Episodes from season one will broadcast twice a day at 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., from Monday to Sunday.

Masha and the Bear follows the many heartwarming tales of a mischievous three-year-old girl and her retired circus star friend, Bear.

Masha is an energetic three-year-old who lives in an old train station in the forest. Precocious, silly, and friendly with everyone she meets, this energetic girl can’t seem to keep herself out of trouble.

Bear is a warm, fatherly figure who does his best to guide his friend and keep her from harm, often ending up the unintended victim of her misadventures. Though he enjoys his quiet time alone, he misses those moments when Masha is not around.

Together with a rag-tag group of friendly animals that have made the forest their home, Masha and the Bear entertains adults and children alike, teaching viewers about creativity, loyalty and true friendship.

Masha and the Bear is created by Oleg Kuzokov and produced by Moscow-based Animaccord, which is currently working on the show’s third season.

It began airing nine years ago in Russia (locally titled Маша и медведь) and has since expanded to more than 100 countries via broadcasters like SBT (Brazil), Rai Yo-Yo (Italy), Canal 5 (Mexico) and KiKA (Germany). Recently, Masha landed on Corus Entertainment’s Treehouse in Canada and joined NBCU-owned Universal Kids in the US. The series picked up a Kids' Choice Award for "Favourite Russian Cartoon" in Nickelodeon Russia's localised categories of Nickelodeon's 2017 Kids' Choice Awards.

Animaccord secured the deal that will see Masha and the Bear air on Nick Jr. India.

Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie takes the kids on the field trip of a lifetime: action packed and full of adventure! They’ll join Arnold on a quest in which he’ll try to achieve his ultimate dream and finally find his missing parents.

'Pinky Malinky' Theme Song | First Listen | Nickelodeon Animation Podcast

Clap your hands and stamp your feet along to this first listen to the theme song of Nickelodeon's upcoming brand-new animated comedy series Pinky Malinky!



Pinky Malinky creators Rikke Asbjoern and Chris Garbutt recently talked about creating the perfect theme song for their brand-new Nick show with Hector Navarro for the latest episode of the Nickelodeon Animation Podcast. Check out their discussion below!



Pinky Malinky is a brand-new fly-on-the-wall reality show that follows the everyday life of Pinky, an infectiously positive hot dog living in a human world. With his best friends Babs and JJ by his side, Pinky reaches for the stars in the small town of Sackenhack. Through his good spirits and sausage sensibilities, Pinky proves that a "wiener" is only one small letter away from being a "WINNER!"

Using the tropes of a mockumentary and reality show format, Pinky and his friends will talk directly to the camera and the audience to share their absurd and silly take on real life. At times, all children feel like they don't fit in and Pinky's undeniably unique point of view as a literal wiener amongst humans will allow kids to laugh at his familiar struggles and enjoy his unusual perspective on the challenges of being a school-aged kid. By always reaching for the stars, Pinky pushes himself further than anyone could imagine. Pinky and his friends' humorous experiences will also be shared across social media and Nickelodeon's digital platforms.

Co-created and co-executive produced by Chris Garbutt and Rikke Asbjoern (The Amazing World of Gumball) and executive produced by Scott Kreamer (Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness), the trio are a part of the Artist Collective, an internal diverse group of experienced creators who mentor and support up-and-coming talent while also collaborating to cultivate, challenge and inspire Nickelodeon's development pipeline.

Pinky Malinky will star Lucas Grabeel (Glenn Martin DDS, I Kissed A Vampire) as Pinky Malinky, Diamond White (The Haunted Hathaways) as Babs Buttman, and Nathan Kress (iCarly) as JJ Jameson.

Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, Calif., the original animated series will join Nickelodeon's growing roster of content driven by creators discovered all over the world.

Pinky Malinky will premiere on Nickelodeon in 2018.
