Unfortunately yes the cringey YouTube kids song is officially becoming a YouTube series. At least the preschoolers are excited.

Nickelodeon has recently revealed its Christmas holiday offerings to wrap up 2020. The channel's holiday lineup ensures they end the year on a high note in the best way possible. That's why for 2021-22 season, PINKFONG Korea's Baby Shark is one of the programs that is currently in production at Santa's Workshop right now.

The new series based on the YouTube music video that has recently hit 7 billion views is expected to launch its first premiere and sneak eek episode "All I Want for FISHmas" on Friday December 11th at 12:30PM ET.

Baby Shark's Big Show! (26 half-hour episodes) is produced and distributed by SmartStudy Korea in association with Nickelodeon Animation Studios USA.

PLEASE Do NOT Turn The Pages - Sesame Street RIngs In Halloween With Golden Book Adaptation

 A monster at the end of the book? Nah, turned out it was just Grover overreacting. Sesame Street the continuing long-running preschool series on PBS and HBO is ringing in the Halloween season with an animated adaptation of the 1971 Golden Books classic The Monster at the End of This Book, which aired October 29th on HBO Max.

The animated special based on the best-selling children's book written and illustrated by Sesame veterans Jon Stone and Michael J. Smollin follows the same process of the book. Grover (Eric Jacobson) is confused at the fact that there is a monster waiting for the reader/viewer at the end of this book, but Elmo (Ryan Dillion) states otherwise. Grover tries to keep cool while trying to solve this mystery. And whatever you do, DON'T TURN THE PAGE (although the reader/viewer is most likely to break this rule otherwise).

This adaptation is among one of the Sesame offerings PBS and HBO have planned for the 2020-21 broadcast season. The documentary Street Gang has still yet a release date to be announced, as well as animated spinoff Mecha Builders. On the other hand, Sesame Street's 51st Season is scheduled to premiere in November.

I Got A Rock - It's The Great Pumpkin Charle Brown Airing On Apple TV+ This Halloween

 "Dear Great Pumpkin, I am looking forward to your arrival on Halloween night. I hope you will bring me lots of presents. You must be discouraged because of more people believe in Santa Clause than you. Well let's face it. Santa Clause has had more publicity but being #2 perhaps you try harder. Everybody tells me you are a fake, but I believe in you. PS. If you really are a fake, don't tell me for I don't wanna know."
Christopher & Stephen Shea, 1966

One of the halloween traditions in recent decades is getting the family around to watch the holiday classic It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown the third Peanuts episode based on the Charles M. Schultz comics originally released on CBS in October 1966 and broadcasted on Disney's ABC since October 2000.

But this Halloween, all of that will change. iTunes creator Apple has announce that it has struck a deal with DHX Media and WildBrain Entertainment, the current co-owners of the Peanuts franchise (Schulz family still owns 20%) to license and air the Peanuts specials on their SVOD Apple TV+. With this move, the lovable adventures of Charlie Brown and his gang of self-called "blockheads" Sally, Linus & Lucy (who are also names of the brand's iconic theme song from Vince Guaraldi), Schroder (who still can't get Ludwig van Beethoven out of his head for some reason), PigPen (who needs to get cleaned so bad), Peppermint Patty, Marcie, Frieda, Franklin, Heather (the self-called "Little Red Hair Girl), Shermy, Patty, Violet their pet bird Woodstock and their pet dog and mascot of the brand Snoopy (voiced by the late Bill Melendez who also helped to create the Peanuts TV content) to both longtime fans and a whole new generation of viewers.

In addition to this deal, Apple, DHX and WildBrain have also announced a new Peanuts series The Snoopy Show which is slated to air on February 5, 2021, on the heels of last year's success of the Peanuts in Space saga that celebrated the 50th year anniversary of Neil Armstrong and the first moon landing from Apollo 11 in 1969.

As of right now, Great Pumpkin is the only one confirmed with ABC still airing all the others. It's currently unconfirmed if the other Peanuts specials from 1965-2010 will still air on ABC, be available on both platforms or move to Apple TV+

 Well it's official. After 11 years, the CGI era of Mattel and Hit Entertainment's Thomas & Friends TV series adaptation is coming to an end as Mattel has confirmed that the Thomas TV series will be going 2D animated from next fall/autumn.

The toy company Mattel has recently struck a deal with international Canadian children's entertainment icon Nelvana Limited to produce two new 26 half-hour episode seasons of the little blue steam tank engine as well as 4 half-hour specials. The new Nelvana-era generation of Thomas & Friends Seasons 25 and 26 (104 x 11-minutes/52 x 26-minutes + 4 specials) is expected to first roll out on Netflix USA, Treehouse TV Canada and ViacomCBS' Milkshake and NOGGIN UK in Autumn 2021.

As of right now, the reactions of this news are mixed though this might change since the new seasons haven't been aired yet and have already started production.

Thomas will be 2D animated from Fall 2021 so get ready.
