Business

  • May - Nickelodeon signs its first movie deal with 20th Century Fox. This deal would have let Nickelodeon and Fox produce theatrical features during the next two years, and would have included movies based on Doug, Ren & Stimpy, and Rugrats. Unfortunately, the contract period ended before Fox could produce a single Nickelodeon movie. By the time the contract ended, only Ren and Stimpy was in production. The other two shows would not only be revived, but get their own movies released later.
  • July 6 - Sony Wonder acquires the video distribution rights for Nickelodeon shows for the next three years
  • September 1 - Nickelodeon expands into Great Britain, its first expansion outside the US.
