This Children’s Day, Nickelodeon's #HappyKidding Campaign Continues To Celebrate Imagination And Joy With Kids Across India!

This Children’s Day, Nickelodeon’s #HappyKidding Campaign Continues To Celebrate Imagination And Joy With Kids Across India!

National, 14th November 2024: This Children’s Day, Nickelodeon, India’s leading entertainment destination for kids—takes its ongoing #HappyKidding campaign to new heights, celebrating the vibrant imaginations of kids across India. With the support of partners like Huggies, Kellogg’s and leading schools, Nickelodeon encourages children to step into a world where dreams, joy, and wonder are limitless.

The #HappyKidding campaign has always celebrated the power of imagination, curiosity and this year’s activities bring a fresh wave of inspiration to schools across the country. Nickelodeon engaged kids in a ‘Story-Telling Session,’ where one kid would start a story, and the next would add their twist to make it a dreamy and fascinating story. This interactive journey of storytelling created moments of joy, surprise, and collaboration, as kids brought their own ideas and personalities to an ever-evolving tale.

Adding to the celebration, Nickelodeon’s ‘Imagination Wall’ invited kids to draw or paint their most creative thoughts. From whimsical landscapes to inventive heroes, the wall became a colourful testament to the boundless creativity of young minds. Through these activities, Nickelodeon reaffirmed its commitment to providing kids with joyful spaces where their thoughts and dreams are celebrated, allowing each child to experience the magic of their own creativity.

Commenting on the launch of the #HappyKidding campaign for Children’s Day, Anu Sikka, Business Head – Kids TV Network, Viacom18, said, “Nickelodeon is a space where kids are at the centre of everything we do, inspiring us to nurture their imagination. With #HappyKidding, our goal is to celebrate the pure joy, curiosity, and wonder that kids bring to the world. At the same time, Nickelodeon provides an engaging platform for brands to connect meaningfully with young audiences and parents, creating impactful and memorable experiences. We extend our gratitude to all our partners – Huggies, Kellogg’s, Rama Krishna Sr. Secondary School, Lalji Mehrotra Lions School, Vedant International School, JBCN International School and Ecole Mondiale World School for helping bring this vision to life, fostering connections that resonate deeply with young hearts and minds.”

This Children’s Day, Nick’s awakening the child-like imagination within all of us! While staying true to the brand’s essence of “Kids First, always”, this campaign has activated a 360-degree approach through activating Nick India TV channels with a dedicated Children’s day on-air programming stunt, Jio Cinema’s Call-For-Entry #HappyKidding Contest promising winners a chance to give a digital snapshot of their Dream World, along with Nick-branded earphones which is also extended across their social media platforms; interactive CGI content integrated with AI to enable imagination in real-life, along with a special Children’s Day themed menus for all employees! #HappyKidding is all about keeping the child-like spirit alive, and this Children’s Day, is nothing short of that!

Nickelodeon’s iconic characters, Chikoo and Bunty, further spread cheer as they joined kids in the festivities, from the energetic halls of Rama Krishna Sr. Secondary School in Delhi to the buzzing classrooms at Lalji Mehrotra Lions School and Vedant International School in Ahmedabad, and the imaginative settings at JBCN International and Ecole Mondiale World School in Mumbai.

Commenting on the partnership with the #HappyKidding campaign, Mrs. Shweta Vig, Marketing Director- Kimberly Clark, shared, “We are absolutely delighted to join forces with Nickelodeon for the #HappyKidding campaign this Children’s Day, celebrating the boundless creativity and joy of childhood. As a brand that’s been trusted by parents for years, Huggies is proud to support the well-being and development of children at every stage. This collaboration is a perfect fit for us, as we believe in nurturing a child’s imagination, helping them see the world through a lens of fun, care, and endless possibilities.”

Dr. Mamta Aggarwal, Principal of Ramakrishna Senior Secondary School said, “Ramakrishna Senior Secondary School always believes that every child has limitless potential. This Children’s Day we partnered with Nick, and celebrated the joy and wonder of childhood with Chikoo and Bunty. Nick has always inspired kids to embrace their creativity and have fun. This partnership reminded our students that nurturing their imagination today paves the way for a brighter tomorrow.”

Ranjana Mandan, Principal of Lalji Mehrotra Lions School said, “We’re delighted to have partnered with Nick for this year’s Children’s Day celebration making it extra special for these young minds. We hope this experience ignites their dreams and encourages them to explore their imaginations wholeheartedly. We’re proud to have been a part of this wonderful initiative.”

Principal, Rutvi Vyas of Vedant International Preschool shared her thoughts on Children’s Day, saying, “Children’s Day reminds us of the innocence, curiosity, and boundless energy our young learners bring to our school every day. Celebrating alongside beloved Nicktoons Chikoo and Bunty made the day even more special. Thanks to Nick, our preschool was filled with laughter and joy, creating memories for everyone.”

“Our partnership with Nickelodeon for the #HappyKidding campaign added a special spark to our Children’s Day celebrations,” said Mr. Davi Sanchez Netto, Principal JBCN International School Parel. “The joy of Nicktoons and storytelling brought smiles to our learners and reinforced our dedication to joyful, creative learning.” He added.

Jonathan Martin, PYP Coordinator, Ecole Mondiale World School, said, “If there is one thing Ecole Mondiale World School and Nickelodeon have in common, it is their commitment to unleashing the boundless creativity in every child, and what better way to do this through an enchanting story weaving experience. Our students had a blast as they took their story through amusing twists and turns. The icing on the cake was the opportunity to interact with the adorable Nicktoons Chikoo and Bunty who really helped our students embrace the excitement of being a child on children’s day. This collaboration served as a joyful reminder of the infinite capacity of children to not just create fascinating narratives, but of their ability to even rewrite the future.”

With the ongoing #HappyKidding campaign, Nickelodeon reminds us that a kid’s world is a space of wonder and innocence, where imagination reigns and possibilities are endless. This Children’s Day, Nickelodeon doesn’t just entertain—it builds memories and nurtures the potential in each child, inviting everyone to view the world through the joyful eyes of kids and treasure the magic that lies within each dream.

In regions outside the U.S., where the series has not aired yet, The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish will be a Netflix Original. In the U.S., where the show has already aired on Nickelodeon, the series will continue to carry Nickelodeon branding.

The news was first reported by our friends over at What's on Netflix.

In The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, ten-year-old Hazel Wells has just moved to the big city of Dimmadelphia because of her dad’s new job. On top of being in an unfamiliar environment, it’s the first time she’s been without her brother, Antony, who’s just left for college, leaving her lonely and unsure of herself. All that changes when the pink-and-green-haired neighbors next door reveal that they are no ordinary neighbors…they’re Cosmo and Wanda, Fairy Godparents! And they’re coming out of retirement to make all of Hazel’s wishes come true. As well as new characters, the series brings back many from the original series, including Vicky, Mr. Crocker, CJ, and Poof, who now goes by the name of Peri. The series also features many Easter eggs calling back to the original show.

The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish stars Ashleigh Crystal Hairston (Tiny Toons Looniversity, Craig of the Creek) as the voice of Hazel Wells, joining The Fairly OddParents alums Daran Norris (The Loud House, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder) as the voice of Cosmo, and Susanne Blakeslee (The Loud House, Amphibia) as the voice of Wanda.

The CG-animated series, which features a brand new art style for the franchise, is produced by Nickelodeon Animation in Burbank and is co-executive produced by David Stone (Teen Titans Go!), Lindsay Katai (Infinity Train), Ashleigh Crystal Hairston, and Daniel Abramovici (The Peanuts Movie). Fred Seibert (Adventure Time) and Butch Hartman (The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom) serve as Executive Producers. Production is overseen by Claudia Spinelli, Senior Vice President, TV Series Animation, Nickelodeon, and Kelley Gardner, Vice President, Current Series, Animation, Nickelodeon. The series is overseen by Executive in Charge, Neil Wade. 

Produced by Nickelodeon Animation, the series premiered on Nickelodeon in the U.S. on Monday, May 20, with the season one finale airing on August 8.

There’s currently no word on whether the show is set to get a second season. The show was given an upfront order of 20 episodes (36 segments), with all of those making up season 1 of the show now aired. It’s likely going to be the case that Netflix viewership plus Nickelodeon viewership goes into making a renewal decision.

The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, a soundtrack featuring music from the series from Republic Records: Kids & Family, is available to stream on music platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music, and available to purchase on iTunes.

Nickelodeon’s beloved animated The Fairly OddParents series, which ran from 2001-2017 with 172 episodes, followed the magical adventures of 10-year-old Timmy Turner and his well-meaning Fairy Godparents who grant him wishes. During its run, The Fairly OddParents became one of Nickelodeon’s most beloved properties from both fans and critics alike, having won and been nominated for dozens of awards. The Fairly OddParents was created by Butch Hartman.

Seasons one, two and three of the original series are available to stream on Netflix in most countries, with the full series available to stream on Paramount+ in the U.S.

'The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish' Showrunner Talks Future Plans For Show; How Fans Can Help Get the Show Renewed For Season Two

The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, a sequel to Nickelodeon's beloved animated The Fairly OddParents, made its debut to critical acclaim in May 2024, with fans saying that A New Wish has put the magic back into the franchise. With all 20 episodes of its first season now aired, and the first 10 episodes now available on Netflix globally, fans are eager to know whether Hazel, Cosmo and Wanda will be back for a second season.

Nickelodeon

Unfortunately, at the time of posting, a sophomore season for A New Wish has yet to be announced, however, with the first half of season one now available on Netflix, fans and the show's production team are hopeful for a season two.

Speaking to our friends over at What's on Netflix to celebrate the launch of The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish on Netflix, Lindsay Katai, one of the showrunners on the new The Fairly OddParents series, talks about the crew's frustration on the show not yet being renewed, and what she hopes to include in future episodes, and how fans can help get the show renewed:

Fans seem aware online that you’ve yet to be officially picked up for a season 2 – can you talk about any plans you’d have for the show going forward if you were to get picked up, and what’s the best way fans can assist in any renewal?

Yeah, because Nickelodeon aired every episode we produced, we’ve been able to be very open about not having a season two yet. This is a spoiler for season one (and only the first half of season one will be on Netflix as of November 14th; we don’t yet know when the second half will be available to stream), but if we get another season, I’m most excited to include Hazel’s friends and brother in the wishes now that they’re allowed to know about fairies. That was a change in the show’s DNA I was pushing as early as the brainstorm. I was so excited they let us make that change and then we didn’t get an immediate pickup and I kept wailing, ”THEN WHAT WAS IT ALL FOR?” It was such a darkly comic thing to happen, to let us open up the world like that and then to have Papa Paramount be like, “Actually, all shows now have to wait for viewer data before getting a decision about more episodes.” And for us, because Netflix was a producing partner from the beginning, that meant we had to wait until we premiered on Netflix! We’re animated, are you kidding me, do you know how long that will take? Like, I got pregnant in the third week of development, and my kid is two years old now, and we are still hoping for a second season.

So anyway, the best way for fans to help is to watch it on Netflix, watch it all, watch it in the first week, watch it AGAIN, tell everyone you know to watch it and keep posting about the show on social media. The only way we’ll come back is if we have the numbers and I sincerely hope we come back.
