Perhaps there’s no better test case to point to in that regard than the impending launch of “ Monster High.” Adapted from Mattel’s toy line, the property will get its introduction later this month, both as an animated Nickelodeon series and as a live-action musical feature film, which will unspool on both Nick and Paramount+. It’s artist-driven, it’s creative, it’s a destination for talent who want to tell stories that mean something.” And I really think bringing the Nick culture into the Paramount Animation space is really inspiring for everyone. Nick already has some of the greatest IP, and Paramount has an incredible slate. “We needed to operate as one team, and so that’s been a main focus, just looking at both companies holistically.
Artists can come here to work on a preschool show, a big kids show, a theatrical film, you name it, and have a rich career. We’re making so much content, and the ecosystem we have within our studios is huge. “Together, Nick Animation and Paramount Animation can make series, theatrical films, and be a destination for artists who can have long careers here. “It’s a huge job, and I definitely feel the power of being stronger together than apart,” Naito says of her increased purview. Nickelodeon feature films from “PAW Patrol,” “Blue’s Clues” and “Baby Shark” are also on the horizon, as well as new features from Paramount properties “Transformers” and “Smurfs.” For Naito, this glut of programming presents opportunities. “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” - the Seth Rogen-produced feature spun off from Nick’s revamped “Turtles” animated series - is due out next summer. Last fall, Naito added running Paramount Animation to her docket, and since then, the scope of potential programming across the corporate-partnered Nickelodeon networks, Paramount+ and Paramount theatrical has given the network increased space to expand. “Star Trek,” “SpongeBob,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” “Blue’s Clues,” “Dora the Explorer,” “Rugrats”… if that seems like too much for one network to handle, well, it no longer has to. Ramsey Naito has been running Nickelodeon Animation since 2017, and in that time the network’s programming has exploded with a raft of both homegrown series and adaptations of external IP.
