Good morning. It’s Wednesday, April 24, 2013, and this is your first early morning briefing.
Today’s Top Headlines
We’ve got kids news covered for you daily during Upfront season…
Zodiak Kids has signed a new acquisition deal with Nickelodeon for a second season of the CG-animated preschool television series, Tickety Toc. The series will be broadcast on Nickelodeon channels around the world including Nick Jr. in the U.S. and UK.
Nickelodeon has picked up 26 x 11 minute episodes of Tickety Toc, bringing the total number of episodes available to 78 x 11 minutes. In addition, Nickelodeon has ordered 3 x 30 minute specials as part of the agreement.
“We’re delighted to continue our creative and broadcast partnership with Nickelodeon in producing a second season of Tickety Toc,” said Nigel Pickard, CEO Zodiak MEAA/UK Family and Kids. “The show is unique in both its look and content and the humor contained within the show has already resonated with children around the world – making it a ratings success for the channel.”
Tickety Toc follows the comedic adventures of twins Tommy and Tallulah and teaches kids about friendship, social responsibility, problem-solving and teamwork.
TIME OUT WITH… DANE BOEDIGHEIMER
Annoying Orange creator Dane Boedigheimer continues his conversation with CynKids about future projects and a whole lot more. Here’s Dane in his own words about…
What’s ahead for Annoying Orange, and future non-AO projects
We’re definitely working on a lot more songs, big movie spoofs, and lots of other fun things. As far as characters, we’ve never had a lot of luck trying to force new characters into the gang. Most of our new recurring characters pop up because they really resonate with the audience after an episode. That’s how Midget Apple, Marshmallow, Passion Fruit and many other characters became part of the gang. As far as new AO content, we upload episodes every Friday. As far as brand new non-AO content, we’re already in production and will most likely start debuting within the next couple months.
Kids say the darndest things
Simply put, if the audience reacts extremely positively about something, we will repeat it or include it in future episodes or videos. Same goes with extremely negative feedback. If the audience hates something, we most likely won’t do it again… unless we’re trying to drive the audience crazy!
His favorite TV show and musical inspiration
Breaking Bad is my favorite show right now. So good. I also enjoy Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Justified, The Killing. You wouldn’t think it, but I like shows with a dark side. My favorite band at the moment is Sponge. In fact, my favorite band is always Sponge. I think Sponge is one of the most underrated bands ever.
His mentor, and lessons learned
One would definitely be Evan Spiridellis from JibJab. Evan gave me my start in the online world of video. He taught me how to refine my work and how to manage a team of people in the best way possible. The things he taught me will stick with me for the rest of my life.
Time Out With… is a regular Cynopsis Kids! Q&A with a children’s entertainment thought leader. Part One of our conversation with Dane Boedigheimer ran in yesterday’s edition.
