Nick shows off shorts

Well, aren’t these just the cutest little fellas…?

The Nickleodeon Channel will have a world premiere on Friday of Aussie-made animations, including these guys from Splode.

Last year Nickleodeon, SPAA and the NSW FTO sought 2-3 minute animations to screen under the Nick Shorts banner.

There are 10 shorts from various production companies which will air across the schedule as interstitials from today with special screenings on Wednesdays & Fridays at 6.30pm.

Press Release:

Nick Shorts is a Nickelodeon Australia initiative designed to showcase and celebrate Australia’s animation talent.

In May 2007, Nickelodeon Australia, in association with the Screen Producers Association of Australia (SPAA) and the New South Wales Film and Television Office, invited producers from around the nation to submit their creative concept for a 2-3 minute animated short film to screen exclusively on Nickelodeon.

“We are thrilled to showcase Australia’s production talent to both our children’s audience and out international colleagues. As a body of work, the films celebrate imagination, creativity and humour. Everything we look for at Nickelodeon!” said Deirdre Brennan, Director of Programming, Nickelodeon Australia.

‘The support we received from the Screen Producers Association of Australia and state funding bodies, such as the New South Wales Film and Television Office, demonstrates that this form of initiative has great potential. We are delighted with what we have achieved so far and are committed to continuing our close work with the independent sector”.

The Nick Shorts films include:

Curious Tales of a Singular Nature Halo Pictures
