Podcasts about Nelvana

In a trying time where PBS could be defunded and Nelvana go under, we felt it was necessary to tackle a big hitter that served as a cornerstone for the domination of educational television in the 90s. It's The Magic School Bus - an all time classic that many do not realize is technically Canadian (the best kind of Canadian). Also, some mildly depressing Canadian federal election chatter because it is actually relevant for once!Episode covered for the podcast was episode 8 "In the Haunted House." Written by John May, Kristin Laskas Martin & Jocelyn Stevenson. Directed by Lawrence Jacobs. Original airdate October 29, 1994.If you liked what you heard please and wish to support the show, please consider subscribing and leaving a nice review on your podcatcher of choice.Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/CartoonNightPod?s=20Chris' Twitter: https://twitter.com/CinemacreepSylvie's Twitter: https://twitter.com/sylvieskeletonsTheme song by https://soundcloud.com/hvsynLogo designed by https://www.rachelsumlin.com

Detective work in the cartoon world is a dog-eat-dog racket. Ace Hart, Private Eye, he'd know. This animated German Shepherd deals with every case thrown at him by his animator Eliot Shag, and even has the nerve to talk back if it's not going so great. Yup, it's a fusion of animation and puppetry courtesy of Nelvana and the Jim Henson Company with some of the cleverest film noir parody ever on Saturday mornings. With special guest, artist Will Carroll!

Welcome to Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, the podcast where nostalgia comes alive!On this episode, we have a conversation with Michael Hirsh, the creative force behind so many cherished childhood memories. Michael co-founded Nelvana, the studio that brought us classics like Little Bear, Franklin, Babar, Max & Ruby, The Magic School Bus, Rolie Polie Olie, and many others. If that wasn't enough, he then launched Cookie Jar Entertainment, where he co-created The Doodlebops and executive produced hits like Arthur, Caillou, and Johnny Test. Michael discusses the evolution of children's television, discussing the making of these iconic shows, the challenges of adapting beloved books into animated series, and the lasting impact these programs have had on generations of kids! We also cover Michael's new memoir, Animation Nation: How We Built a Cartoon Empire.

We are back in some familiar territory - a shoddy, obscure Nelvana production (#SaveNelvana) and a radical adaptation of Greek Mythology made for children. It'sMythic Warriors: Guardians of the Legend -contractually obligated fodder produced through a brief lucrative partnership with television network CBS. Filling out an entire Saturday morning cartoon block requires a lot of man hours and animation, and so inevitably, some stuff might not be quite up to standard. But god damn it, Nelvana needs to cash in on the success of Disney'sHercules (1997).Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 6 "Persephone and the Winter Seeds." Written by Peter Colley. Directed by Jim Craig.

This week, we start off with a sobering call to action regarding the uncertain future of our beloved Nelvana before awkwardly segueing into talking about one of their longest running series. Financial mismanagement and executive payoffs over at Corus Entertainment may very well lead to the shuttering of one of Canada's most prolific animation studios, and while talking about what a momentous loss that would be for our industry, we also chat a bit about Nelvana's Max and Ruby. A show about bunny siblings for babies that we both hated. Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 26 "Max's Thanksgiving/Max's Pretend Friend/Fireman Max." Written by Kate Barris, Patrick Granleese, and James Backshall. Directed by Steven Boeckler. Original airdate April 27, 2004.

It's showtime! Just in time for Halloween and in the wake of his massively successful comeback movie, Beetlejuice fever is running wild once more, so what better time to revisit the characters' kid friendly incarnation in animation? Nelvana, with Tim Burton himself helping develop the show, brought the Ghost with the Most to ABC Saurday mornings and to Fox Kids on weekday afternoons with wild antics and the most blatant puns of the era. Don't come apart at the seams, come join us!

X-MEN This audiobook is based on an unproduced film treatment by the mysterious writing duo Pete & Anna. In the early 1980s, Belgian-born Canadian producer, TV executive, and author Michael Hirsh pitched the idea to Marvel comic writer Jim Shooter. The treatment itself is dated May 27, 1982. Had the film been made, it would likely have been produced by Nelvana, the film company Hirsh was associated with at the time.

Milli Vanilli are back in the charts for the first time in over 30 years, and you gotta blame it on something. In less murderous brother news - Paulo reveals the names of the little dinosaurs from Bubble Bobble which prompts us to try to name their girlfriends with sub-par results. What were the Seinfeld cast up to in the 80s just before they became mega-stars, and Paulo thought Cheetara was the only scantily-clad, cat-like humanoid he had eyes for...until he watched Rock and Rule. To wrap up we wonder how Tiffany is going to imagine her 80s hits and realise that a cult may have inspired Footloose.

We're kicking off a BRAND-NEW (to us) series and diving into the classic Star Wars: Droids: The Adventure of R2-D2 and C-3PO! It's an animated show so spectacular it demanded two colons in it's title (but, sadly, only one season). In our first episode, we cover the series premiere and talk about the history of the show and Nelvana, the animation company that brought it and it's companion show Star Wars: Ewoks to ABC in 1985. This one's an absolute blast, and we hope you'll watch along with us on Disney+!

We are back with a favourite topic of ours we will always go far out of our way to dissect and ramble on - the awkward growing pains of CGI animation. We've entered the mid-2000s and what we are calling CGI's "scene kid years" with Jane and The Dragon. A beloved children's book adapted by two veritable titans of the film industry: our beloved Nelvana with their noted pedigree in CGI animation, and Wētā Workshop who is best known for their work on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings franchise. How did this six degrees of separation between Nelvana's Donkey Kong Country and Gollum come about? And how is it so solid and charming? Episode covered for the podcast was Episode 23 "Dragon's Egg." Written by Ann MacNaughton. Animation Directed by series director Mike Fallows (with motion-capture work directed by Peter Salmon). Original airdate July 22, 2006.

I interview Producer Michael Hirsh, who led several animation companies including Nelvana, which was responsible for developing Babar, The Magic School Bus, The Berenstain Bears, Beetlejuice, and many more animated series. We talk about how his company got hired to create the animated short (as part of the Star Wars Holiday Special) that was the defacto introduction of the character of Boba Fett. In my Back-in-time segment, we go back to when he started Nelvana with a college friend and hired recent graduates from a nearby animation school. And in advice, Michael talks about what a great era it is now to be able to start your own animation company.

On this week's Pride special, we are taking you back to a dark time for LGBT representation in children's entertainment where the idea of a same-sex kiss was shot down by corporate meddling in the pre-production phase. Ok...maybe not that far back. Back in 2017, a little Nelvana magical girl show could have been one of the first steps forward for moderate representation of LGBT characters. Unfortunately for Mysticons, Nickelodeon was not willing to support the production team's vision. And we needed to sell toys...a capitalist tale as old as time. Episode covered for the podcase was episode 7 "Scourge of the Seven Skies." Written by Grant Sauvé. Directed by Matt Ferguson. Original Canadian airdate September 24, 2017.

Once a year, on a late spring day when Art usually has something better to do, Jay and Robbie talk about their summer plans.  Welcome to summer.   Movie releases abound, but will they go to the theater or wait till the streaming begins and perhaps watch on Robbie's new deck?  Will Jay get the hang of his fancy device that takes a lot of the stress out of smoking meats, and will his back porch be ready to host the first annual Guys of Summer eat-fest? Will they travel, or just let their kids come to them?   Most importantly, you'll hear Jay's plans for flying through his neighborhood in 2026 if he can raise the $128K necessary to make it happen.  Meanwhile, Robbie will be waiting for a resurrection of the ultimate Bat.  And for the first time in many weeks, Nelvana of the Northern Lights gives hope that not all superheroes from the 1940's are regrettable.   Summer is here, you're going to be working in the yard anyway, so you might as well listen.  

Back before DIC got the chance to produce THE GET ALONG GANG, Canadian animation house Nelvana was all over it. Come and listen to the commentary of this first pilot, as discussed by Chris and Dustin. Along the way they talk 80s pop culture, various cartoons and, of course, Steve Guttenberg!If you like what you hear, tell a friend.If you could show my guest some love, check out CHERRY BOMBS: THE UNDERAPPRECIATED MOVIES PODCAST.

The year's biggest Star Wars event is coming to the Peach State. In a year without a Star Wars Celebration convention, the Georgia Alliance of Star Wars Collectors (GASWC) is busy creating a vintage and modern collector's dream event. During the May 4th weekend, more than 150 passionate Star Wars collectors will travel to Kennesaw, Georgia for three days of panels, activities, meals, collection tours and the unforgettable moments only an event like this could deliver. And the weekend's room sales event may be the best one in years, with collectors bringing some of the rarest and previously unseen prototypes and production items. Join host David Quinn as he sits down with Georgia Alliance members Narayan S. Naik, Jason Wasulko and Glen Williams, for a behind-the-scenes look at the Rogue Fun weekend. In this two-part series, the Georgia team will explain the origins of the event, as well as what to expect for the weekend's itinerary, and why it takes a community (and a few former Kenner and Nelvana employees) to build something as special as Rogue Fun. This is the weekend where collecting and the community collide in Georgia. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production! *Photos courtesy of Narayan Naik, Jason Wasulko and Glen Williams.

On this week's episode, we get downright filthy (yet educational) as we chat about the "thin gross line" that is the Bureau of Grossology and how they are the last line of defense against acts of gross themed terrorism committed by a rogues gallery of barely disguised fetishes. We are back grappling with the mid-2000s obsession with gross-out humour and edutainment with the aesthetically pleasing production of Nelvana's Grossology. It mostly holds up!

(Spoiler Section Length - 3min 30sec) Here we have another movie by Nelvana, and also another movie based on a licensed property. Said property is perhaps a little less well known than the Care Bears, but it has a more storied legacy, too. Babar the Movie is actually part of the Babar animated series that aired in the late 80s, but fortunately knowledge of the series is mostly not required to understand the film. Did we have a good time with this one, or did it leave us as cold as the Care Bears? Listen to find out! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howsitholdup/support

On this week's episode, Sylvie and Chris mourn the inimitable talent of one Robin Williams by taking in a Nelvana series that desperately tried to copy his schtick. It's Ned's Newt, the motormouthed, lol so random, bit-heavy comedy that believed so long as the big obnoxious blue thing never stopped talking, the laughs come fast and furious. We found out that is pretty far from the truth. Plus did you know Tom Green's Freddy Got Fingered is the greatest film ever directed by a Canadian? Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 2 "Nightmare on Friendly Street/A Snitch in Time." Both directed by Rick Marshall and written by Andrew Nicholls and Darrell Vickers If you liked what you heard please and wish to support the show, please consider subscribing and leaving a nice review on your podcatcher of choice.

Barney, the popular purple dinosaur from the 90's hit show “Barney & Friends,” is set to be relaunched by Mattel later this year. The relaunch will include television, film, and YouTube content, as well as music, kids' products, and even apparel for adult fans. The new animated series, which has not been titled, is set to debut in 2024 and will be produced by Nelvana for preschool kids. The show will feature the lovable T-rex and friends and focus on themes of love, community, and encouragement. In 2019, Mattel had announced plans for a live-action Barney movie, but it remains unclear how that might factor into the current relaunch.
