Joshua Dela Cruz, Blue's new pal in Blue’s Clues & You, Nickelodeon's upcoming Blue’s Clues revival, is currently hard at work in Toronto, Canada. Although he's seasoned Broadway star, having appeared on stage in Disney’s Aladdin, David Byrne’s Here Lies Love and Encores!: Merrily We Roll Along, and has appeared on TV in CBS’ Bull and ABC’s Time After Time, Blue’s Clues & You is Josh's first starring role on television.
To help Josh prepare for his scenes, he has enlisted the help of a very special on-set couch: his 3-year-old pup, Ollie! Who else better to help you on lines for Blue’s Clues & You than your dog, especially your own pup?! Judging from this adorable photo Josh shared on his Instagram, below, Ollie is taking his new found role very seriously!
"Ollie in concentration mode breaking down the scene. I don’t know what I’d without my on set coach!! #bluescluesandyou," Josh captioned the pic.
It's too early to say whether we'll see Ollie share the screen with Josh and Blue on Blue’s Clues & You, but we'll get to see when the show premieres, in November 2019!
Update (3/15) -IMDb is reporting that Jaiden Cannatelli (Corn & Peg, PAW Patrol, Degrassi: Don't Look Back, The Adventures of Napkin Man!, Odd Squad) and Nicholas Fry (Max & Ruby, Boys vs. Girls) will feature in Blue’s Clues & You! Jaiden will play a character named 'Cinnamon', and Nicholas will portray a kid in the show.
The brand-new animated preschool series Corn & Peg will gallop onto Treehouse TV in Canada on Saturday, March 16, 2019 at 8:55 a.m. (ET/PT). The series (20 episodes) follows the extraordinary friendship between Corn, a loveable Unicorn, and Peg, a plucky Pegasus, who share the same unbridled enthusiasm for doing good deeds. Corn & Peg features a social-emotional curriculum that highlights empathy and kindness, and a school readiness curriculum emphasizing colors, math, directions, and health and wellness.
Following launch, new episodes of Corn & Peg will continue to premiere every Saturday and Sunday at 8:55 a.m. (ET/PT) on Treehouse TV.
In Corn & Peg, the pair of inseparable best friends are inspired by their favorite superhero, Captain Thunderhoof—champion of all do-gooders—to make a difference and help the residents in their colorful equine community of Galloping Grove. Together, Corn and Peg are the dynamic duo of doing good, always putting others before themselves and believing that doing good feels good.
In the series premiere of Corn & Peg, “Deputy Do Gooders/Horseplay,” when Sheriff Swiftstone makes Corn and Peg deputies, they get distracted from their traffic duties and cause a huge jam. Then, while Captain Thunderhoof is busy stopping a boulder from rolling toward Farmer Shire’s farm, Corn and Peg must help with a rescue.
Corn & Peg features the voices of: Jaiden Cannatelli (Blue's Clues & You, PAW Patrol, Degrassi: Don't Look Back, The Adventures of Napkin Man!, Odd Squad) as Corn, Shechinah Mpumlwana (Dot.) as Peg, Julie Sype (3 Amigonauts, Cupcake & Dino: General Services) as Captain Thunderhoof and Ava Close (Wishenpoof) as Clarissa.
Corn & Peg made its world premiere on Nickelodeon USA on Monday, March 4, 2019. Following its U.S. launch, the series will now roll out on Nickelodeon’s international channels and branded blocks throughout 2019.
Corn & Peg is produced by Nelvana Studios in association with Nickelodeon Productions.
Corn & Peg is based on a animated Nickelodeon Preschool short of the same name made in 2015. In the short, the role of CORN was voiced by Colin Critchley (Nickelodeon's Legends of the Hidden Temple TV movie).

Sadie Jemmett made 'massive impact' with Don't Silence Me
Sadie Jemmett "didn't imagine" her song 'Don't Silence Me' would have such a "massive impact" on so many people.
The singer/songwriter penned the track to support her friend, Mhairi Morrisson, after she confided in her about being sexually assaulted by a French movie director several years ago, and after the video – which features 40 women who have made high-profile allegations of sexual assault – premiered earlier this month, Sadie was stunned to find over 30,000 people have viewed the clip.
She said: "This is a protest song about sexual assault, I wrote it because I wanted to reach out to my friend, Mhairi Morrisson, and let her know that she wasn't alone in her pain. I did not imagine, when I wrote the song, the massive impact it would have on so many people. I am overwhelmed with gratitude to everyone who has contributed to this campaign in any way. Let's keep getting the message out there!"
Sadie was keen for the song to help Mhairi "find her voice" again and take back control of her life.
She explained: "I felt that my friend needed help to find her voice again so that she could come though this and tell her story, and so I wrote her a song: 'Don't Silence Me', to remind her that she had a voice and that she was in control of it."
The video – which was directed by Jenn Page – premiered in Hollywood on Monday, March 4, 2019 at Nickelodeon Studios and was attended by 100 VIP guests, including many of the women who appeared in the video.
Sadie Jemmett's single, 'Don't Silence Me', is out now. Visit www.dontsilencemetoo.com for more information.

The production marks the lovable Latina character’s big screen debut (and first live-action adaptation on any platform) after fourteen seasons (2000-2014) and 172 episodes on Nickelodeon.

In addition to designer Hennah’s stage builds, the production is utilizing Queensland’s diverse landscape, notably tropical forests near Tamborine Mountain and Tallebudgera, to portray Dora’s jungle habitat.
Dora the Explorer is a Paramount Players and Nickelodeon production in association with Walden Media. The film is being supported by the Queensland Government via Screenland Queensland.

If you see one movie with Nickelodeon megastar Kenan Thompson, make it this one! Wonder Park hits theatres Friday! Rated PG
Wonder Park Hits Theatres Friday!
It’s always a wild ride with the Wonder Park team! 🎢 Experience the wonder of Wonder Park in theatres Friday!
When the park of her dreams needs saving, only June’s imagination can bring it back to life!
-- The Owensboro Autism Network will be hosting a special a sensory-friendly screening of Wonder Park on Saturday, March 16, 2019 at 9:30 a.m. at The Malco Cinema in Owensboro, KY. A sensory movie experience is when the lights are brought up and the sound is turned down during the screening. Tickets to attend the screening - ideal for families with children and adults on the autism-spectrum and other developmental disabilities - available for $6.00 online, and on Saturday morning, they will be $7.00. --
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 voices 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.

We expect this star ceremony to be filled with joy and laughter for the whole family! This will be nuts!” added Martinez.

After more than 60 years, Alvin and The Chipmunks are more successful than ever garnering more than two billion dollars across their number one songs, platinum selling albums, top television series, Prime Time Specials, Grammy awards, Emmy nominations, and four blockbuster motion pictures.
Ross Bagdasarian Sr. first introduced Alvin and The Chipmunks in 1958 on the novelty record “The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late!),” which sold 4.5 million copies in seven weeks and has gone on to become one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time
The Chipmunks first appeared on television in 1961 with “The Alvin Show”, which was one of the first Prime Time animated television series to air on national television. In 1981, The Chipmunks’ Prime Time television special, “A Chipmunk Christmas” aired on NBC and was seen by more than 35 million people, becoming a Holiday perennial. The success of the Christmas special led to a Saturday morning TV series, “Alvin & The Chipmunks”, which aired on NBC from 1983 to 1991, becoming one of the top rated shows in all of children’s programming. Not only did this series feature Alvin, Simon and Theodore, but also it introduced their female counterparts The Chipettes – Brittany, Eleanor and Jeanette.
The show was nominated for five Emmy Awards, was seen by more than 15 million people a week and has been broadcast in over 100 countries around the world.
Given the success of the franchise, The Chipmunks and Chipettes were redesigned for the brand new CG animated television series, ALVINNN!!! and The Chipmunks. Created, written, designed and directed by Janice Karman, the series launched Spring 2015 and continues to garner top ratings around the world, including on Nickelodeon in the U.S., attracting over 42 million viewers per week in the U.S. alone. The show has already received broadcast orders for five seasons comprising (260) 11-minute episodes.
ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: A FAMILY TRADITION
The Bagdasarian family, headed by Ross Bagdasarian and his wife Janice Karman, have kept Alvin and the Chipmunks a vibrant cultural icon recognized the world over.
Janice and Ross continue as the voices of The Chipmunks and Chipettes and are joined by their children Vanessa and Michael. Michael not only acts as associate producer of the series and writes some of the episodes but also supplies voices for ancillary characters and helps edit the show.
