Birthed by Ms Jacinth Tan, a Singaporean storyboard artist, she got the idea while playing with her dog during Discovery Channel's Shark Week television programming. Collaborating with the multi-award-winning CG animation studio, One Animation, who worked closely with both the Nickelodeon International and Asia teams, comes this 3D comedy series.
Sharkdog is the first animated series from Asia to come out of the 2015 edition of the annual Nickelodeon’s Global Animated Shorts Programme, designed to identify and develop original comedy-driven content for kids. Besides Sharkdog, a further 21 pitches were chosen out of 850 pitches and developed into animated shorts, with the potential to air on the network, or live on the Nickelodeon Play App.
The Nickelodeon Play app is compatible with Apple and Android devices. Download the app for free to enjoy Sharkdog and many other unlocked content.
