NOGGIN February 2021 Highlights

 Love is in the air this February on NOGGIN. We have another great collection of
content this month for you guys.

NEW SERIES
Rhymes Through Times (3 episodes, 9 minutes)
We're very excited about the new musical series Rhymes Through Times a three-part musical celebration of the black American heroes running from February 15th to March 1st. The three episodes feature Nick's biggest properties in a Schoolhouse Rock-esque music program that is meant to educate kids about the black US heroes that changed American civilzation and history forever.

The music and animation is by far the most complex in the app's six-year run, with music and songs by Hamilton actor Christopher Jackson and animation of the NOGGIN characters designed by LionForge Animation LLC who are responsible for Netflix' Academy Award/Oscar®-winning Hair Love short film which was the cause of that Made by Maddie controversy six months ago.

In addition to the videos streaming on NOGGIN, the episodes will also air during commercial breaks on the Nick Jr. cable TV channel like all the other NOGGIN shorts which have aired on the network as early as March 2018 as well as the Nick Jr official YouTube channel which is near reaching 20 million subscribers. Plus, the songs featured will also be released to audio platforms as a digital EP/KP for platforms like iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music and Pandora among others.

The NOGGINs At Work (3 episodes, 5 minutes so far)
Launching a few weeks prior to the show listed above, another new series airing this month entitled NOGGINS At Work. This short-form original series takes the name of the channel and turns it into LITERAL NOGGIN avatars which is meant to demonstrate the types of jobs and community service found in the world.

NEW SEASONS
The Fresh Beat Band (Season 2, 20 x 24-minute episodes)
Did somebody yell BANANAS!!!!! The Fresh Beats are back in their second season. Join Jon, Thomas, Shayna and Yvette as they embark on more musical adventures.

I myself personally watching the Circus Mojo, Camping with the Stars and Band in a Jam ft. Ne-Yo episodes when I was younger. So for your nostalgia sake, these episodes should bring back some fond memories

PAW Patrol (Season 5, 28 x 23-minute episodes, including hour-long movie)
The PAW Patrol dogs are back for more rescue missions that make NO SENSE at all whatsoever in their fifth season. This season introduces the "ULTIMATE RESCUE" story arc of episodes as each of the PAW Patrol dogs leads everyone to a different kind of story with all of the members wearing the same gear as the dog featured. For example, in the episode "Pups Save the Royal Kitties" if Chase leads the mission, then the other dogs will all be wearing police outfits.

But even after eight years, their job is NOT DONE YET. The show recently got picked up for a ninth season ahead of the eighth coming out this April and the theatrical movie coming later in August. As of right now, specluation is that Season 9 will air on Nickelodeon in April 2022 since most of the recent PAW Patrol seasons Seasons 6 to 9 have each gotten a February-April/Spring premiere.

Nella the Princess Knight (Season 2, 21 x 25-minute episodes)
The second and final season of Nella has just gotten added. Join Nella and her friends as they go on more bright quests to restore justice and kindness to their royal kingdom where they live together.

It was recently confirmed that the show was ending and getting cancelled but for some weird reason, Nick Jr hasn't aired the final episodes yet and we don't know why it's taking them so long. The same issue is happening with Sunny Day which also premiered and 2017 and is also ending at 2 seasons.

NEW FEATURE: PODCASTS
NOGGIN now has audio podcasts. The first three "Alphabeats" are now available to stream for your listening pleasure. Join in as you learn about the letters of the alphabet in a fun and creative way.

THAT'S IT
March 2021 is expected to be more of a celebratory month, since next month marks the HIGHLY ANTICIPATED LAUNCH of Paramount+, ViacomCBS' latest streaming app and channel that brings all your favorite Nickelodeon, Paramount, MTV, Comedy Central, BET< VH!, CMT and CBS content together in one place

Don't worry, NOGGIN will still be operating despite CBS All Access airing the NOGGIN/Nick Jr series last Christmas and rebranding into Paramount Plus on Thursday, March 4th which is also the date NOGGIN was revived in 2015.

As always, have a fantastic day.
