Dora and SpongeBob gets kids back to school

No no no, not yet — sorry, didn’t mean to scare you! :) There’s still plenty of summer left! But for Nickelodeon fans in India, going back to school might not be as hard this year. Nick and BILT Ten-on-Ten are working together to launch a back-to school line of and SpongeBob SquarePants notebooks. In addition to being handy for school notes, the notebooks also feature a few “fun pages,” with puzzles, coloring pages, and trivia about their favorite Nicktoons.

Smokey the Bear turns 65

by ToonBarn Rob on 2 Jul 2009

Smokey the Bear turns 65

“Only YOU can prevent fires” is the famous line. Sometimes it’s about “forrest fires”, sometimes it’s about “wildfires”, but all of the time, it’s delivered by Smokey Bear. As the fire prevention mascot celebrates his 65th birthday, the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters are producing a number of new public service announcements, reminding people to help prevent fires. The PSAs feature a CG Smokey encouraging people to “Get Your Smokey On” and say something when others are acting carelessly. Hey, if a bear told me to help preventing fires, I’d listen!!
