NICKELODEON VENTURES INTO THE
MONSTERVERSE IN ORIGINAL ANIMATED SERIES OLLIE’S PACK, PREMIERING
MONDAY, APRIL 6 AT 4:00 P.M. (ET/PT)
“Ollie’s Pack is filled with excitement, humor, and heart, and
we are thrilled to welcome Ollie and his friends to Nickelodeon’s
incredible family of original characters,” said Nina Hahn, Senior
Vice President of Development and Production, Nickelodeon.
Chris Rose, Vice President of Animation Production and
Development, Nickelodeon, adds, “I can’t wait to introduce a new
generation to the timeless tale of a boy growing up and finding his
place, while simultaneously trying to save the world.”
Ollie’s Pack follows Ollie and his backpack, which doubles as a
powerful portal allowing an array of monsters to travel from the
Monsterverse into Ollie’s world on Earth. Throughout the series,
Ollie and his two best friends must protect the earth from the
horrifying monsters that have escaped, while often utilizing the
helpful monsters who assist with their everyday tween problems,
like sneaking into a movie or winning their school’s Battle of the
Bands contest. No matter the circumstances, Ollie’s thirst for
adventure undoubtedly gets him into trouble that only he and his
friends can resolve.
In the first episode, “The Chosen One…Stinks,” Ollie’s stinky
sweat is a hot commodity in the Monsterverse so he exchanges it
with a monster who offers to do his laundry. Then, in “Not Another
Superhero Movie,” Ollie and his friends utilize a monster’s powers
to make an epic superhero movie for their film club.
The series stars James Hartnett (Cupcake & Dino) as Ollie,
an ordinary, impulsive, and creative kid who has been given the
status of Chosen One and Keeper of the Pack; Ana Sani (Mysticons)
as Cleo, the brave and adventurous comic relief; and David Berni
(Rocket Monkeys) as Bernie, the nervy and logical voice of
reason.
Along the way, audiences will be introduced to some larger than
life monsters including Andre and Bev, a bounty hunting double act;
Major Snooch, a high ranking official in the Ministry of Chosen One
Affairs; and Rance, a weaselly petty thief in utter denial about
his boldfaced stealing.
A pre-released episode is currently available on the Nick App
and Nick On Demand, and will be available on YouTube starting
Saturday, April 4.
The series originated from “Monster Pack,” an original short
made for Nickelodeon’s 2013 Animated Shorts Program. Creators Pedro
Eboli (Cupcake & Dino) and Graham Peterson (Rick & Morty)
met at the Vancouver Film School and have now been friends for over
10 years. Pedro is a creator, producer, director and animator from
Rio de Janeiro, while Graham is an animation supervisor and
instructor at local and overseas studios.
