Nickelodeon Animated Shorts Program is a variety project that was launched in 2012, where people make animated shorts at Nickelodeon Animation Studio , with the potential for them to become series for 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 short-form series MooseBox and Sharkdog in 2018.[ 1]
After Brian Robbins became president of Nickelodeon, the Animated Shorts Program was succeeded by the Nickelodeon Intergalactic Shorts Program in 2019. The new program lasted for a single season and launched the Nickelodeon series Rock Paper Scissors . The other Intergalactic Shorts Program shorts remain unreleased as of 2024.
