Nickelodeon Animated Shorts Program

Nickelodeon Animated Shorts Program is a variety project that was launched in 2012, where people make animated shorts at Nickelodeon Animation Studio for shows to send to Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.. Since this project was launched, the TV series Breadwinners started in 2014, along with The Loud House in 2016, and the upcoming short-form series MooseBox and Sharkdog in 2018.[1]
