    Nickelodeon to Launch New CG Animated Kung Fu Panda: The Series from DreamWorks Animation SKG Series Based on Academy Award-Nominated Theatrical Blockbuster Set to Premiere in 2010 BURBANK, Calif., May 14 -- Following a record-breaking ratings premiere of The Penguins of Madagascar, Nickelodeon today announced that it has ordered 26 episodes of its second co-production with DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (Nasdaq: DWA), Kung Fu Panda: The Series -- a new CG animated comedy series adapted from the studio's 2008 blockbuster film. Today's announcement, which strengthens the strategic alliance between two of the world's most prolific producers of television and feature film animation, was made by Brown Johnson, President, Animation for Nickelodeon and MTVN Kids & Family Group. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090514/NY17075 ) Today's announcement comes just six weeks after Nickelodeon's unprecedented March 28 debut of the hit CG-animated series The Penguins of Madagascar, which ranked as the most-watched series premiere in the network's history, drawing 6.1 total million viewers (P2+). The half-hour premiere also delivered more kids 6-11 than any other Nick animated series premiere, averaging an 11.0/2.3 million K6-11. Since then, The Penguins of Madagascar has already become a top program with kids on all of broadcast and cable television, averaging nearly 13 million kids 2-11 each week and also averaging nearly 28 million total viewers (P2+) every week. The series is currently the #2 program (live action or animated), only behind only SpongeBob SquarePants, with kids 2-11 and 6-11 and is the #2 kid-targeted program (live-action or animated) among total viewers (P2+) on all of broadcast and cable television.* "Our seamless collaboration with DreamWorks Animation has now reached an anticipated 78 half-hours of unparalleled television CG animation," said Brown.

  • Shine Global 10 Year Report 2005-2015
    10TH ANNIVERSARY REPORT Inspire Co-Founder and Executive Director Susan MacLaury As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, it’s with a mixture of pride, happiness and some astonishment. If you, or someone you know, makes independent films you understand what I mean. Working in this medium - especially to make documentaries about children struggling against serious odds all over the world – is hard. It takes confidence, support, diligence and most of all, passion… the belief that the stories you tell CAN make a difference. And passion is one resource we have in abundance. As a former social worker and health educator I always imagined that our films would reach into classrooms around the world, and they have. Beginning with War/Dance, we have created free discussion guides and standards-based curricula for grades 7-12 for every one of our films. We added power point decks and fact sheets for university courses and finally also developed arts and media literacy workshops for community screenings as well. With the help of a recent matching grant from the National Endowment of the Arts, we’re now creating an additional outreach effort, IGNITE, to bring our films and newly designed discussion guides to as many as 150 programs serving underserved children nationally. As we begin our next 10 years we are excited to continue working independently, but will also embrace partnerships with other filmmakers. Indeed, over the years we’ve been privileged to meet dozens of talented filmmakers who, like us, believe in the power of film to transform children’s lives. We are now actively seeking partnerships with them to make short and feature-length docs, narrative films, web series, and even an animated TV series.
