Nickelodeon Short!

Posted by gene-goldstein - February 9th, 2016


Hey Newgrounds!

To any of my fans that have been curious about what I've been up to, here's a big announcement!!

My animated webcomic Planet Panic is gonna be made into a short by Nickelodeon!

I landed a job at Nick exactly a year ago, and not long after had my short picked up. I've been working hard on this thing with a small crew of awesome people and I can't wait for everyone to see it!

Much love to my fans for supporting me all these years, and a big ol' sloppy THANK YOU to Tom Fulp for letting me host my dumb flash cartoon on here for so many years!

Finally, to any young animators hoping to "make it": Just keep working hard and making rad stuff and studios will notice!

Congrats on the Nickelodeon deal!

In the NG Flash Portal History for 2004 I had said, "Hyperboy introduced us to the 15 year old Gene Goldstein, and reminded everyone to never underestimate younger artists." It's awesome to watch you GO GO GO!

HAHAHA I'LL NEVER STOP!! THANKS A MILLION TOM! <3

I wish I could write I'm working on. Look for it in 2017! WHOOP whoop!

Yeahhhh I know how it goes :T

Congratulations!!! That's a really awesome gig, getting your work up on the tube! All the best!

THANK YOU!!!

Damn, son, congrats on the gig. Making the big time :3

THANKS!! Not quite the big time yet, but I'm working my way up!

Fun fact, I was in the Nick pitch workshop meeting thing last Friday with you, they said you were there and I was going to talk to you, but actually had no idea what you look like so was unable to. But congrats, your stuff looks sick!

Whoa what?! I would have loved to chat! I'm a skinny dude with a tuft of black hair on his head. If you ever see me, feel free to say hi! :D

What the fuck man I swear so many Newgrounds animator just flew beyond the stars into the far reaches of the galaxy and at the same time I wasn't doing shit.

Well fucking done dude. Wow

that was an awesome short. i couldn't believe it when i look you up and found out you were the same guy. I was hoping you would pop back up :)

I used to watch Nickelodeon Channel in Brazil!
You wish to bring Hyperboy series there?

@mikehero he said that in 2009 but i don't think he'll make hyperboy into a real show anymore considering the fact that the characters are not fictional and are his real friends and him.

I loved your Planet Panic Short! It was a mazing! Still hoping it gets greenlit for a full sereis!

I remember watching that, I just found out that it was a webcomic first by reading this post! And to think that I only found out about it because I clicked your profile to go to the beginning of your noxp series, what a coincidence, now I can finally get more Planet Panic!!!

YASSSSS CONGRATS!!

Hey man, I know this news has been long, and I'm not sure if you still check back on this, but sorry to hear Nickelodeon rejecting a full series based on your short, honestly Nick just doesn't seem interested in animation variety anymore. It's even much more harder to pitch animation series to studios nowadays, it's not safe to pitch to Warner Bros., Netflix, or even Disney animation without their content getting axed whether by executive meddling, oscars nominee aftermath, or merger cuts, and I don't know if amazon prime video or apple+ are safe for long. For what it's worth, if you're really passionate about this series, you gotta go indie, it's hard but it's the better longlasting option.
