Viacom International Media Network Americas Opens New Headquarters in Downtown Miami

Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) The Americas today, Wednesday 20th February 2019, opened its brand-new headquarters in downtown Miami, Florida!

Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Executive Director Alyce Robertson, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, VIMN Americas president Pierluigi Gazzolo and VIMN Americas EVP and COO Juan Acosta

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Executive Director Alyce Robertson, VIMN Americas president Pierluigi Gazzolo and VIMN Americas Executive Vice President (EVP) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Juan Acosta were present at a ribbon-cutting ceremony to inaugurate the media company's new global headquarters at 3 MiamiCentral, 161 N.W. 6th St.

After being located more than 20 years in Miami Beach, Acosta said VIMN Americas was ready for a change.

"We realized Miami Beach is old news, and now people are setting their sights on downtown," Acosta told the South Florida Business Journal. "Brightline also attracted our interest because its changing the game for commuters. Our employees are based all over the city and as a transportation hub, downtown Miami was better able to service their needs."

VIMN Americas currently has about 120 employees from Latin America, Spain, the Caribbean and Miami.

At the ribbon cutting, Suarez said VIMN's presence in downtown Miami will stimulate the local economy and create more career opportunities for South Florida residents.

"Miami is transitioning from being a Latin American gateway to a truly global city," Suarez said. "Having a company like Viacom as an anchor tenant of 3 MiamiCentral demonstrates that downtown Miami is becoming a center for international business."

The 25,000-square-foot space will serve as the base of operations for the company's portfolio of popular entertainment brands, including Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and MTV. VIMN Americas will focus on programming for audiences in Latin America, Canada and the U.S. Hispanic market.

The space is intended to celebrate Miami and its diversity of Latin American cultures, featuring touches such as a game room with dominoes-themed wallpaper, a "Vinyl Bar" that includes turntables and records, a new mothers room, and multiple lounge and meeting areas.

The VIMN Americas headquarters is located only a few blocks away from the company's recently opened Viacom International Studios (VIS), an 88,000-square-foot production facility.

Robertson said the organization is focusing on recruiting media, financial and tech companies to downtown Miami. The DDA reports there's been a small uptick in the number of media and entertainment companies occupying office space in the city's urban core, with those firms accounting for 6 percent of all new-to-market leases signed between 2013 and the first quarter of 2018.

VIMN Americas isn't the first company to swap Miami Beach for downtown Miami. In November 2018, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (Concacaf) moved its global headquarters to 3 MiamiCentral, also citing the benefits of Brightline and the area's public transportation connections as a factor that led to the change.

Take a tour around VIMN Americas' new offices below!:

VIMN America's "Vinyl Bar" is stocked with records, turntables and headphones for employee use.

A tribute to creativity, Wonder Park tells the story of 10-year-old June, a wildly imaginative young girl who builds models of amusements parks with rides like the Skyflinger, Fantastic Fish Carousel, and Zero-G-Land with her mother. When June gets older, she starts to lose her sense of wonder and begins to shun her childhood ideas, including the idea of the park, packing away her models away. Nevertheless, her childhood catches up with her!

One day whilst exploring deep in the woods, in a magical moment, she discovers a roller coaster car buried under ivy. It transports her to a fantastical wonder park, like the ones she used to build, populated by animals who were its past employees. But the park is broken down, abandoned and in a state of decay.

June soon rediscovers the wonder of her world, and teams up with a whole host of talking animals to restore the park to its full glory, complete with spinning contraptions and inverting roller coasters, all whilst contending with a invasion of a army of cheeky chimpanzombies looking to stir up all kinds of destructive mischief.

The US version of the movie includes Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Rules Don’t Apply, The Producers) as Dad, Jennifer Garner (Nine Lives, The Tribes of Palos Verdes) as Mom, Kenan Thompson (All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger, SNL) as Gus, Ken Jeong (Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Bob’s Burgers) as Cooper, Mila Kunis (Family Guy, A Bad Moms Christmas) as Greta, John Oliver (The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, live-action Lion King) as Steve, Ken Hudson Campbell, who voiced Boomer the Bear, Sofia Mali as Young June, Brianna Denski (Momsters: When Moms Go Bad) as June, Oev Michael Urbas as Banky, Norbert Leo Butz (Bloodline) as Peanut, Kate McGregor-Stewart as Aunt Albertine, Kevin Chamberlin as Uncle Tony, Kath Soucie (Rugrats, Hey Arnold!) as Bus Counselor Shannon, and Noen Perez as Chatty Kid.

The UK audio track of the movie features mostly the same voice talent, with a few changes: Iconic British voice talent Tom Baker (Doctor Who, Little Britain, Monarch on the Glen) will voice Boomer the Bear and YouTube sensations Joe Sugg and Caspar Lee will voice beavers Gus and Cooper!

The PG-rated film is written by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows) from a story by Applebaum (Origin), Nemec (Knightfall), and Robert Gordon (Galaxy Quest). Appelbaum, Nemec, and Kendra Haaland serve as producers, with Karen Rosenfelt and Don Hahn executive producing. The movie is being produced by Paramount Animation, Nickelodeon Movies and Ilion Animation Studios. A director has yet to be announced for the movie.

Wonder Park is scheduled to roll into theaters on Friday, March 15, 2019. An animated television series based on the film will also debut on Nickelodeon in 2019.

Funrise, Inc. will serve as the worldwide master toy partner for the franchise.

Bob Esponja cumple 20 años, así serán las celebraciones en ‘Fondo de Bikini’ | Nickelodeon Latinoamérica

Below is a Latin American Spanish version of Nickelodeon's press release detailing their plans to celebrate SpongeBob SquarePants' 20th anniversary. An English version can be read here.

From 90minutos.co:

Bob Esponja cumple 20 años, así serán las celebraciones en ‘Fondo de Bikini’

Bob Esponja estrenó el 17 de julio de 1999, y ha reinado como la serie animada de televisión número uno de los niños durante los últimos 17 años

Bob Esponja cumple 20 años, así serán las celebraciones en ‘Fondo de Bikini’

Nickelodeon está conmemorando 20 años de Bob Esponja con “El Mejor Año de la Historia”—un homenaje a una de las series de televisión y personajes más icónicos jamás creados.

Bob Esponja estrenó el 17 de julio de 1999, y ha reinado como la serie animada de televisión número uno de los niños durante los últimos 17 años, generando un universo de personajes queridos, frases y memes de cultura pop, lanzamientos teatrales, productos de consumo, un musical de Broadway ganador de un premio Tony y una base de fans global.

“El Mejor Año de la Historia” empieza el viernes, 12 de julio, con el estreno de “La Gran Celebración de Cumpleaños de Bob Esponja” una mezcla original de animación con acción en vivo, seguido por la obra de teatro de Paramount Pictures y Nickelodeon Movies, La Película de Bob Esponja: Es una Maravillosa Esponja, que llega en verano de 2020.

En el especial de una hora, Patricio y Bob Esponja viajan al mundo de la superficie, donde se encuentran con algunos personajes familiares durante la hora del almuerzo en el restaurante Crustáceo Cascarudo.

'SpongeBob SquarePants' Celebrates Oscar Nominees with Parody Movie Posters

The 91st Academy Awards are being held this weekend, and a certain cartoon sponge is getting hyped for them in a pretty endearing way.

Nickelodeon's official social media accounts for SpongeBob SquarePants recently shared several parody posters, which imagine the various characters in the show's ensemble as the focus of Oscar-nominated movies. You can check them out below.

The parody posters are endearing, ranging from a young Patrick Star serving as the inspiration for A Sea Star is Born, to Squidward channeling his best Emily Blunt in the A Quiet Space poster. There's even a take on Marvel's Black Panther, which earned a historic seven nominations at this year's Oscars.

Regardless of whoever ends up taking home a trophy at Sunday's Oscars, it's hard to deny that the awards play a small part in this year's unique pop culture landscape. SpongeBob is earning its own sort of accolade in 2019 as well, with the Nickelodeon show planning a year-long "Best Year Ever" celebration in honor of the show's 20th anniversary.

“The tiny residents of Bikini Bottom have held the world’s attention for a remarkable 20 years and we owe it all to the monumental creator Stephen Hillenburg,” Ramsey Naito, EVP, Animation Production and Development, Nickelodeon, said in a statement. “This anniversary special is a love letter to everyone in the universe of SpongeBob, from the fans across the globe to the incredible creative team, crew and talent who continue to bring these great characters to life.”

SpongeBob SquarePants is no stranger to movie theatres himself, having already starred in two blockbusters and a third movie, The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge on the way, set to be released in Summer 2020. Nickelodeon also recently revealed plans to spin off the characters from SpongeBob SquarePants into their own stand-alone series, specials and feature-length movies.

The 91st Academy Awards will be held Sunday, February 24, 2019 at 8/7c on ABC.

Check out the movie posters below, and tell me which movie you'd watch in the theatre in the comments below!

Nickelodeon Benelux Premieres '44 Cats'

Nickelodeon Benelux started to premiere and show the brand-new CG-animated preschool series 44 Cats on Monday 11th February 2019! Created and directed by Iginio Straffi, the founder of Italian content powerhouse Rainbow Group, the makers of Winx Club and Regal Academy, and produced by Rainbow in collaboration with Antoniano Bologna and Rai Ragazzi, Nickelodeon is currently airing brand-new episodes of 44 Cats daily at 15:45 uur on Nickelodeon Netherlands (Nederland) and at 16:00 uur on Nickelodeon Belgium (België; Flanders).

Set in the world of animals, 44 Cats (52 eps x c. 13') follows the daily adventures of Lampo, Milady, Pilou, and Meatball – four adorable kittens who are part of a music band named The Buffycats.

The protagonists live and play in the Clubhouse, a garage beside old Granny Pina’s house. Their adventures explore the themes of friendship and altruism: the four cats love helping others and always find creative solutions to everyday hitches and help other cats in need. The series promotes positive attitudes and conveys educational messages dealing with important themes such as tolerance, diversity and solidarity in a funny way.

This eagerly anticipated show made its world debut on Rai Yoyo in Italy on Monday 12th November 2018. Nickelodeon International acquired the broadcast rights to the series in May 2018, and will roll the animated series out on Nickelodeon channels and branded blocks around the world, excluding in the U.S. and Latin America, throughout 2019.

44 Cats is inspired by the very popular Italian kids song "44 Gatti", which, in 1968, won the 10th edition of the Zecchino d'Oro and has since entered the collective imagination of Italians.

44 Cats is the first Rainbow Group production jointly developed with Bardel Entertainment, the Canadian animation studio it acquired in 2015, and jointly produced in collaboration with Antoniano Bologna and Rai Ragazzi, and combines great music and edutainment with high quality animation. The series also marks Rainbow’s (Winx Club, Regal Academy, Mia and me, Maggie & Bianca Fashion Friends) inaugural foray into preschool programming.

Rainbow inked a licensing deal for 44 Cats with Thai Group’s Hong Kong-based company, Toy Plus in August 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, Toy Plus will develop a variety of products including interactive plush, figurines, play sets, musical toys and more based on the music, creative play patterns and collectability featured in the series. The line of merchandise debuted in Hong Kong in October, and is slated to become available for purchase around the world in fall 2019.

Rainbow has also secured a new licensing deal for 44 Cats with holistic lifestyle company Artsana Group. Under the agreement, the company will develop a range of licensed 44 Cats-themed infant educational toys for infants and a nursing line under its Chicco brand, the largest infant brand in Europe. The deal also includes apparel and accessories collections by Prenatal and Chicco. Products are expected to hit retail shelves later this year and will be supported by a dedicated, high-level marketing campaign delivered jointly by Rainbow and Artsana Group, which is also based in Italy.

Viewers can visit the official 44 Cats show website at 44cats.tv to find out more about the show and its musical stars, as well as watch exclusive video clips, play pawesome games and download purr-tastic activities. Fans also also visit nickelodeon.nl and nickelodeon.be to watch full-length episodes of 44 Cats dubbed in Dutch, and like the official Nickelodeon Nederland and Nickelodeon België Facebook (NL | BE) and Instagram (NL) pages for the latest Nickelodeon news and highlights.
