NickelodeonNickelodeon will launch two brand new websites in February in The Netherlands and in Belgium. At nickelodeon.nl and nickelodeon.be the characters and presenters kids see on television will come to life and they can really join in on the action with the innovative new tool called the Cartoon Creator. With the Cartoon Creator the kids are the director of their own SpongeBob Squarepants cartoon. They create the cartoon, animate the actors, change the background music, create the story, in other words: The kids are in charge. Their own cartoon can be just as good as the one you see on television!

Apart from the Cartoon Creator, the website will get a more interactive and social feel. Kids want to be entertained obviously, but on the Internet they especially want to experience something, do something and share it with other kids. That's why there are lots of new options such as weblogs of the presenters, send-a-friend, a new highscore system for games, interactive photo albums, TurboNick (Nickelodeon's video-on-demand player) and the Cartoon Creator. The kids can also create their own myNick page which is a private page where they can manage their favorite Nick games and videos and will always be able to rediscover their own creations.

Also special about the new site is its launch. On February the 20th the site will go down in the morning. From 2 o' clock in the afternoon we trust on all the kids in The Netherlands and in Belgium to help get the new site live. All of the kids who will visit either nickelodeon.nl or nickelodeon.be will be able to answer questions about different Nickelodeon characters. Each correct answer will help to get closer to the end result: piece by piece puzzle pieces will appear with each amount of correct questions from all the kids. If all the puzzle pieces have appeared the site will be accessible for everyone!

Obviously the sites will have Dutch content only but I still wanted to share it because this has been my project since September 2007. Only 14 days to go!
