Marlou Breuls and Nickelodeon Collaborate on New Fashion Line to Celebrate SpongeBob SquarePants' 20th Anniversary

Originally published: Friday, March 8, 2019

Amsterdam based designer Marlou Breuls today unveiled a colourful brand-new clothing collection inspired by Nickelodeon's hit animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants!

Update (9/18) - Nickelodeon will be showcasing their SpongeBob x Marlou Breuls collaboration as part of Brand Licensing Europe (BLE) 2019's “Fresh off the Runway” exhibit! Details below:

N1 Entrance: Viacom Nickelodeon
SpongeBob x Marlou Breuls: A unique, authentic and creative collaboration between fashion designer Marlou Breuls and “SpongeBob SquarePants” in a crafted, heritage and sustainable story.

“Fresh off the Runway” will see a jaw-dropping display of Fashion x Licensing collabs on super-styled mannequins in each of the show’s five visitor entrances, from N1 through N5, as well as a specially curated License Global edit on stand E200. Visit License Global for more info.

Original post continues below:

Unveiled today on a Bikini Bottom themed catwalk at Amsterdam Fashion Week 2019, the collection was created through Nickelodeon's partnership with Copyright Promotions Licensing Group (CPLG) and will form part of Nickelodeon International's SpongeBob Gold campaign to celebrate SpongeBob SquarePants' 20th anniversary.

The collection features apparel in all shapes and sizes, featuring the iconic colours of the characters in the show, allowing fans to easily recognise items inspired by SpongeBob and seven of his friends: Gary the Snail, Patrick Star, Squidward Tentacles, Sandy Cheeks, Plankton, Mr. Krabs, and Mrs. Puff.

For the collection, Nickelodeon gave Breuls a lot of creative freedom. Surprisingly, Breuls didn't watch a single episode of SpongeBob SquarePants to get inspiration for the collection, instead, she researched the characters and characteristics of SpongeBob and his friends. The line also reinterprets all the characters from SpongeBob SquarePants as female characters, where Breuls' expertise in clothing design lies, so its incredibly fitting that the line launched on International Women's Day 2019.

Breuls said that shes most proud of the outfit inspired by Gary. "Gary's look is a definition of my handwriting, but also shows the SpongeBob feeling very well. Everything comes together in that look. That took a lot of effort: I had to recreate the outfit four times. So there is a lot of pain and sorrow, but also love. I am very happy with the result. Yesterday I looked at different outfits besides their sketches and it is exactly as I intended it. In some cases it has become even better."

The line, titled Spongebob x Marlou, is expected to launch at retail later this year.

Nickelodeon UK to Remove Programming from Netflix UK on Sunday 29th September 2019

Many kids favourites from SpongeBob SquarePants to PAW Patrol are currently scheduled to leave Netflix in the U.K. by the end of September 2019 according to removal dates now showing on the titles. Here’s what’s scheduled for removal, why they’re being removed and more.

Nickelodeon has had some of its biggest titles on Netflix UK for the past few years including massive Nick shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer and countless more. Sadly, it looks like Nick is pulling out completely from the service in the UK.

All of the titles look to come up for renewal on Sunday 29th September 2019, and given how every single title is up for renewal, it's looking like its a complete removal from the streaming service.

In some cases, the Nick shows on Netflix weren’t complete. In fact, in the case of Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob only a single season is available.

Here’s the full list of Nickelodeon shows scheduled to leave Netflix on September 29th:

• Blaze and the Monster Machines (Season 1)
• Dora the Explorer (Season 8 – Only one season streaming)
• PAW Patrol (2 Seasons)
• Sam & Cat (2 Seasons)
• SpongeBob Squarepants (Season 8 – Only one season streaming – the movie not currently scheduled to leave)
• Team Umizoomi (Season 2 – Only one season streaming)
• The Haunted Hathaways (Season 1)
• Victorious (3 Seasons)

Where will Nickelodeon titles stream next in the United Kingdom?

It looks as though the new streaming homes for the majority of Nickelodeon content in the UK seems to be NowTV, Sky Kids and Amazon Prime, which currently holds all of the aforementioned Nickelodeon shows.

Fans can access short-form content on nick.co.uk, nicktoons.co.uk and nickjr.co.uk, as well as the free Nickelodeon Play and Nick Jr. Play apps. Virgin Media customers can also unlock full-length episodes via the Nick Play VOD mobile app.

Some of the Nickelodeon shows have a presence on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. official YouTube channels, which occasionally offers live streams of episodes. The official PAW Patrol YouTube channel also offers select episodes and shorts. SpongeBob SquarePants also has its own YouTube channel, in which fans can find short-form clips, full episodes and music videos. Older fans can also throwback to the nineties and noughties with the NickRewind channel.

It’s not hugely surprising that Nickelodeon shows are leaving Netflix UK. The majority of Netflix regions around the world has seen their Nick shows stripped from the service. In the US, the service saw most of the Nick shows leave several years ago with little chance of ever returning.

Netflix Canada currently has a selection of Nickelodeon programming, through a partnership with Corus Entertainment, Nickelodeon's distribution partner in the region.

Not all is lost though as Netflix and Nickelodeon do share some other projects for the future. Over the summer, Netflix released Invader Zim and Rocko’s Modern Life movies, picking up where the original series left off. There’s more to come too including animated The Loud House and Rise of the TMNT films and the Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series.

Original source: What's on Netflix.

Update (29/9) - It seems Nickelodeon programming is being removed from Netflix services around the world, with Avatar: The Last Airbender (Avatar - Der Herr der Elemente) and SpongeBob Schwammkopf leaving Netflix Germany.
