RIP Wand Idents - Bob Chapnek Confirms 100+ Disney Channels To Cease Operation by December 2021 Due To Disney+ Increase Popularity

 "Hi I'm (name of star) from (name of project0 and you're watchinng Disney Channel"
SVOD subscribers: How about NO?

Well unfortunately, the time has come for the Mouse House to shut down their cable unit. Disney's newest CEO and president man in charge Bob Chapnek has confirmed that over 100+ Disney Channel stations worldwide, including the main channel, Disney Junior, Playhouse Disney, Toon Disney and Disney XD and their HD and +1 counterparts will be shutting down by the end of this year.

It's currently unknown whether or not the USA and Canada versions will stay up or get shut down. Most of these closures would make much sense since many people aren't using cable TV anymore for new content and instead switching over to streaming video on demand channels and services free of commercial breaks.

All we know is that local versions of the mentioned channels are getting shut down worldwide to make room for more high-rating streaming subscriptions

RIP Disney Channel
1983-2021?

Please note that the list of channels shutting down has yet to be confirmed and this post will get updated when they're announced.

Part Of Your World - Little Mermaid Vocalist Samuel E. Wright Dead At 75

 We are so saddened to report the death of the Disney LEGEND Samuel E. Wright, the young Carribean reggae genus behing the voice of Sebastian the Crab in Disney's Academy Award/Oscar(R) winning The Little Mermaid trilogy and franchise, which follows the adventures of Ariel wanting to be on the surface for the first time and the challenges she faced.

Aside from his work Under The Sea, Wright has also contributed to the Disney Sing Along Songs video series which originally ran from 1986-2006, performing the song "Animals Calypso" in the 14th entry Mickey's Fun Songs: Let's Go to the Circus (1994) and performing the series' theme song when it had its final reincarnation between 2003-2006, including DVD rereleases of Sing A Song with Pooh Bear (1999) and The Lion King: Circle of Life (1994)

Wright is considered to be one of the biggest contributors in the Disney family. Unfortunately not everyone and everything cannot last forever. Wright's death unfortunately is no exception.

Thank you Samuel for all your great work you brought to the Disney staff and fandom over the past 32 years. Your Carriean talents were top notch, maun.

We will miss you dearly.
Thank you for what you brought to the world and rest in peace.

RIP Sebastian the Crab

OINK! OINK! - Nickelodeon and Outright Games To Bow My First Peppa Pig Videogame This SHOCKtober

Just when you thought the line of Nick Jr videogames couldn't get any better, it's only fitting that the UK global hit Peppa Pig is next on Outright's agenda. Nickelodeon, Hasbro Interactive and Outright Games are slated to debut the all-new My Friend Peppa Pig videogame on Thursday October 21st, 2021.

In the new game, in true Roblox and Minecraft style, Peppa fans can get themselves morphed into their very own Peppa Pig-styled avatars, morphing into a wide range of animals. From there, players can join Peppa, her family, her teacher Madame Gazelle, the OVERTIME!!!!!! working Mrs. Rabbit and all their friends as they explore Peppa's house, the school playgroup, Grampy's din exhibit and even the Potato City theme park (where the magic of healthy food STILL never ends)

Hasbro is no stranger to making videogames of famous franchises, as it has worked on Thomas & Friends and Barney videogame titles from the late '90s-early '00s. Hasbro has also release videogames based on their Mr. Potato Head character and on their popular board games such as Boggle, Candy Land, Chutes & Ladders, Connect 4, Monopoly, Scrabble and Yahtzee among others

The new title is the recent in the Peppa Pig 10 Years of USA Broadcast celebration, which recently included the "Peppa Goes to Hollywood" episode arc. Peppa's next episodes are slated to rollout Fridays at 8PM ET/PT from tomorrow night.

My Friend Peppa Pig is the fourth Nick Jr. console game from Outright, joining the two PAW Patrol titles On A Roll! and Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay and the recently announced Blaze and the Monster Machines: Axle City Racers reving onto platforms 10/16.

Like the previous and future Nick and Outright titles, the Peppa game will be available on Nintendo Switch, SONY PlayStation 4, Microsoft XBOX One and PC CD-ROM.

For more information visit outrightgames.com

Peppa Pig will be animated by Karral (Sarah & Duck) beginning some point in 2022.

NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD!!! - Nickelodeon To Bow iCarly Reboot on Paramount+ Thursday June 17th

IN FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO!...Wake up the members of my nation and leave it all to me!

The wait is over, Nickelodeon and Paramount+ are slated to bow the highly-anticipated iCarly reboot on Thursday June 17th, 2021!

NOGGIN Rings In Juneteenth 2021 With RHymes Through Times Video Sweepstakes

This summer, NOGGIN joins forces with New York-based Alvin Alley American Dance Theater to ring in Juneteenth 2021, a June 19th celebration of the lives and accomplishments of all Black Americans.

The SVOD channel and dance theater auditorium collaborate together for the occasion and celebration with the Rhymes Through Times "Why We Dance" video competition/sweepstakes. Familes everywhere can send in their videos grooving to the hit song from Hamilton Broadway superstar Christopher Jackson who provides vocals and narration for the series.

To enter, you must learn and copy the dance moves as seen in the episode's animation produced by Oscar(R) winning LionForge Animation LLC. The moves are;
1. Wave arms ("Use your hands (when you're happy)…")
2. Stomp your feet (or when you're sad)…")
3. Wave and lower your arms ("They all tell the story...")
4. Dance freestyle [or the moves in the animation] ("..and that is Why We Dance [repeats multiple times]")

The winning entries will be compiled together in a new compilation music video for the song/episode, the third and final in the current first season of the program on Saturday June 19th. Although the NOGGIN channel's website and Facebook page don't tell us what EXACT date of June it would be released on. 6/19 may make a lot more sense since that's when the holiday falls on.

For more information or to review copetition guidelines, visit
www.noggin.com/rhymes-through-times-dance/

So go ahead. Send us your vids and get into the groove. Have fun and good luck.

All participants in the competition must be 18+ years or older and must be residents of the 50 US states, DC and Canada to take part. Sweepstakes opens 12:00AM Monday May 10, 2021. Deadline for entries 12:00AM midnight Wednesday May 19th/Thursday May 20th 2021. All entries must be subject to copetition rules and guidelines listed at www.noggin.com

The series Paddington itself is currently in its second season. New episodes air on nickelodeon/Nick Jr. in primetime Friday nights at 8:30PM/7:30c (ET/PT)

Edutainment At Its Finest - New Nelvana Limited Website UNVEILED!

Nelvana Ltd; A Corus Entertainment Company has been giving the best in quality entertainment for over half a century. Since June 30, 1971, the company represented by a cute animated polar bear has been giving kids and adults the award-winning education and entertainment they deserved.

With the company reaching its golden 50th anniversary this summer, it only makes sense that Nelvana's official website (www.nelvana.com) got a major upgrade. Over the past couple of months, not much was known about the new site and every time fans entered the url into their web address box, they would just be redirected to a graphic with the company's logo and text that reads "Coming Soon: A Brand New Nelvana.com" with no information of what the site will look like.

Thankfully, Nelvana's fanatics don't have to wait much longer, as the award-winning company today (Cinco De Mayo, Wednesday May 5th) has OFFICIALLY launched it's all new rebranded and updated website layout.

On the top of the homepage is links to the different categories of the website "About" which just gives you a demonstration of the company, "Studio" which gives you a basis of what the team does best, "Distribution" which you can get more detail of the great shows and movies they produced over the years, "Consumer Products" in which you can learn more about the company's merchandise and partnership deals and "Contact" where you can just call or email the Nelvana staff with feedback on their hard work or suggestions on how to make their company better.

What's mostly interesting is the "Show Full Catalog" button on the Distribution page. Clicking on this button will take you to a DHX Media and WildBrain 2015 styled PDF about the series and films the studio has put effort on and what age demographic each of them fits in. In a style similar to the 2015 PDF from the aformentioned companies, the shows described on the PDF are described by what age demograhic they are for, how many seasons each has, how many episodes per season, runtime and what type of media its produced in (either 2D/Flash, 3D CGI, 3D stopmotion, live action or photopuppetry mixed media) with each of the age demographic categories being started off with the company's recent highlights.

The new site will look really cool for this ongoing saga and their adorable polar bear, but don't take my word for it. Go online to the ALL NEW and IMPROVED www.nelvana.com and see for yourself
