The 2-part TV movie will air simultaneously on the Nickelodeon, Nicktoons, and  TeenNick channels on November 24th!

Prepare For DOOM! Invader Zim Is Officially Returning For A TV Movie!

by The_acz

After many fake-outs, false rumors, and broken dreams, it’s time to sound the alarms because Invader Zim is officially coming back in the form of a TV Movie!

Even up to this morning, original creator Jhonen Vasquez denied the existence of the series revival, but in retrospect, it was probably just him playfully harassing his fans while trying out his best Donald Trump impersonation. There’s no date for the movie (fingers crossed for this year.), but Nick did announce that the original voice cast will indeed be returning to voice their respected roles. Take a look at this brief audio teaser and get excited!

‘Spongebob’ Creator Stephen Hillenburg Has Been Diagnosed With ALS.

by The_acz

Its been a long time since Spongebob Squarepants has been consistently good. The first 3-4 Seasons plus the first movie was some of the smartest stuffto come out of a supposedly “kids show.” Even now with current episodes and seasons not reaching the original heights it used to (although it has started getting better again.) the shows creator Stephen Hillenburg should be applauded at the empire he has created, and how he single handedly changed cartoons forever after Spongebob.

Sadly, it seems like bad things always happen to good people as Hillenburg himself recently announced that he has been diagnosed with early stages of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. For those unaware at what ALS is, it’s a disease that slowly deteriorates and weakens the nerve cells in your boday, making it hard to do almost anything after a while. Even with this diagnosis, Hillenburg says he will work as hard as he’s ever had on the show until he can’t any longer. To Mr. Hillenburg and his family: We here at Geekscape wish only the best for you, and thank you for hat you’ve done for animation as a whole.

Nickelodeon Is Releasing A ‘Legends Of The Hidden Temple’ Live Action Movie!

by Shane O'Hare

File this under 100% pure nostalgia pleasing. Nickelodeon, the network that helped sculpt 90’s kids into the ironic hipsters that we are, is going back to it’s roots. They have green-lit a live action Legends of The Hidden Temple movie based off of the hit game show!

Production begins in March on the film. Unfortunately we aren’t going to be seeing the Purple Parrots failing to get across the water in the opening games. This is a high stakes action adventure movie based on the show. Three kids are after an ancient Mayan treasure as they embark on a journey into a…Mayan hidden temple.

The TV movie Legends of the Hidden Temple will follow three siblings who break away from a lackluster temple tour in a jungle, finding themselves immersed in a real-life mission comprised of obstacles that they must complete in order to escape alive. The TV movie will feature elements from the original game show including: Olmec, a talking head who knows the secrets behind the temple; The Steps of Knowledge, the entrance to the temple and launching pad for the mission; and cameos from a green monkey, red jaguar, and silver snakes, among others.  Legends of the Hidden Temple is executive produced by Scott McAboy and Jessica Rhoades, and produced by Amy Sydorick. The TV movie is directed by Joe Menendez (From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series) and written by Jonny Umansky & Zach Hyatt, and Alex Reid.

This announcement is on the heels of a push for Nickelodeon to bring their 90’s programming to the 10’s.

I cannot wait to see this movie. Yeah it will be for a much younger audience, but Legends of The Hidden Temple was one of my favorite shows growing up. One thing I love about seeing properties from my youth redone, is getting all the different references to the original work.

No release date has been announced.

SDCC 2014: Nickelodeon Blows Up At Comic Con!

by Shane O'Hare

With Comic Con only 10 days away, the excite/hype train is just leaving the station. A long time exhibitor at the convention is the awesome folks at Nickelodeon, and this year they plan to bring it big.

Their booth (#4113, just near Geekscape!) this year is a whopping 1,800 square feet and promises to be one of the big ones.

We’re going to showcase our hit animated shows through an innovative booth design, fan activations, talent-driven panels and more. Our 1800-square-foot booth (#4113), inspired by the excitement and imagination streaming out of our Burbank Animation Studio, features a bold spiraling collage showcasing beloved hits like Rugrats, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Invader Zim, SpongeBob SquarePants and more, extending down to the floor from the ceiling of the convention center.

 

Nickelodeon’s booth will also feature fan activations that include a voice-record room where fans can lend their own vocal talents to select scenes from their favorite Nick TV shows; a GIF Booth; a fan-art competition; and autograph signings with Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants), Sean Astin (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Janet Varney (The Legend of Korra) and more.

The network will also present four panels: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; Sanjay and Craig; The Legend of Korra; and Nickelodeon’s New Animation Pipeline, which will give fans a sneak preview of the network’s new series,Breadwinners, Bad Seeds (working title) and Pig Goat Banana Cricket.

Sounds like it is going to be a doozy of a booth, and a must see for any cartoon fan. Makes me miss the old Sci Fi channel booth.

The Legend of Korra’s Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko (co-creators/executive producers); Janet Varney (Korra); David Faustino (Mako); Seychelle Gabrielle (Asami Sato); Mindy Sterling (Lin Beifong) and John Michael Higgins (Varrick).
