Nickelodeon Vs. Cartoon Network Rivalry Heats Up In Latin America

The rivalry between Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network is heating up in Latin American thanks to the latter's new trailer.

Man in Dentist Chair saying he prefers Nickelodeon during Cartoon Network Latin America's new trailer

Cartoon Network Latin America recently unveiled a new multi-generational spot that unites more than three generations through the love of their cartoons.

The commercial begins showing a girl enjoying Cartoon Network on her iPad whilst in a dentist's waiting room, while a older man, aged around 30, fondly remembers the animated series that marked his childhood, such as Courage the Cowardly Dog and The Powerpuff Girls. This ignites a debate with the other patients in the waiting room, in which they reminisce about the shows they love.

The highlight of the ad is when each generation shares their favorite animated series, which characters from beloved shows such as Dexter's Laboratory, The Flintstones, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Wacky Races and The Jetsons also making appearances in the advertisement.

Towards the end, the 30-ish-year-old man stands up to offer an emotional message: "This isn't a competition. In the end, don't you think that... just maybe, each version of Cartoon Network is the best in its own way?"

However, it all comes to ahead at the end, when a man says that he prefers Nickelodeon over Cartoon Network. In response, one of the Cartoon Network's most iconic characters, Bugs Bunny, tells him: "then I have some bad news for you, old man," whilst wielding a giant ACME dentist's drill. This playful interaction between characters from both networks adds a touch of humor to the eternal rivalry between the channels.

Paramount UK Eyes Outdoor-Themed Shows for Milkshake!, Girl-Skewing Toons for Nick Jr., Live-Action Slapstick Comedy for Nickelodeon

Paramount UK & Ireland is in the market for shows relating to the outdoors for Channel 5's preschool kids’ block Milkshake!, as well as girl-skewing animation for Nick Jr. that complements the upcoming reboot of Dora the Explorer.

Dora and the Fantastical Creatures

Speaking to C21 Media at MipJunior in Cannes on Saturday, October 14, Paramount UK & Ireland’s General Manager (GM) for kids and family Louise Bucknole noted that content related to the outdoors is especially crucial after all the Covid-related lockdowns.

“We’re looking at content around that subject at the moment because play and the outdoors is very important to kids, particularly after the Covid years,” she said.

Also for Milkshake!, Bucknole said she is still in the market for STEM-based live-action, factual shows and slapstick comedies, echoing comments she made at the Children’s Media Conference in Sheffield in July. Slapstick comedy, in particular, is a genre where the exec sees a gap at the Channel 5 programming block.

“Anything around play patterns is really interesting to us and we follow the Early Years Foundation on Milkshake! as well. That’s very important. While it’s not curriculum-based, we always have that underlining soft learning and educational focus because we’re a public service broadcaster,” she added.

Meanwhile at Nick Jr., Bucknole wants to find an animated series for girls that could complement Dora!, in addition to live-action comedy in a similar vein to The Thundermans and Henry Danger for Nickelodeon.

“On the Nick side, we’re looking for big character IP, animation particularly, for both preschool and older kids and we look at how we can have brands that expand out as well,” the exec said, citing examples like Transformers, Monster High, The Loud House and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Additionally, Bucknole is interested in book-based properties for both Milkshake! and the Nickelodeon brands, like Milkshake!’s preschool animation Pip & Posy from Magic Light Pictures.

“We also very much try to ensure we have relatable series that reflect how kids see themselves in the world. We have a ‘no diversity, no commission’ policy and that is very, very important for us in making sure we are authentic in the stories we tell and with the families and kids we represent,” she added.

First Class: Paramount+ to Premiere New 'Frasier' Episode on Oct. 19 - Get the Info!

Paramount+ will premiere the brand new Frasier episode "First Class" on Thursday, October 19! Check out the episode's official synopsis below, and make sure to try Paramount+ for FREE at ParamountPlus.com! Use promo code FRASIER for one month free! (offer ends 12/31)

Episode 3: “First Class” (Available to stream Thursday, October 19th)

Frasier begins a new career at the university, determined to be taken seriously as an academic—but finds that a nearly twenty year stint as a daytime talk show host is not easy to escape.

Starring Kelsey Grammer, who reprises his EmmyⓇ Award-winning role as Frasier Crane, the 10-episode first season will premiere in the U.S. and Canada on Thursday, October 12, with two episodes and on Friday, October 13, in all other international markets where Paramount+ is available. New episodes will then drop weekly on Thursdays, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada, and on Fridays, internationally. In addition, the CBS Television Network will broadcast a special airing of the first two episodes back to back on Tuesday, October 17, beginning at 9:15 p.m. ET/PT (following a super-sized original episode of Big Brother).

FRASIER was filmed in front of a live studio audience at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. The new series follows Frasier Crane (Grammer) in the next chapter of his life as he returns to Boston with new challenges to face, new relationships to forge and an old dream or two to finally fulfill. Frasier has re-entered the building!

In addition to Grammer, the new series stars Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s son Freddy; Nicholas Lyndhurst as Frasier’s old college buddy turned university professor Alan; Toks Olagundoye as Olivia, Alan’s colleague and head of the university’s psychology department; Jess Salgueiro as Freddy’s roommate Eve; and Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew David.

FRASIER comes from writers Chris Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Joe Cristalli (Life in Pieces), who executive produce with Kelsey Grammer, Tom Russo and Jordan McMahon. The series is produced by CBS Studios, in association with Grammer’s Grammnet NH Productions. The first two episodes of the new series are directed by legendary director and television creator James Burrows, who is best known for his work as co-creator, executive producer and director of the critically acclaimed series Cheers, as well as the original series Frasier, Will & Grace and Dear John. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution outside of the Paramount+ markets.

This fall marks 30 years since the original Frasier first premiered on television, which still holds the record for most Emmy wins for a comedy series with 37 wins and 107 nominations. The original series is available to stream on Paramount+ and Pluto TV.
