Creator C.H. Greenblatt Brings Funny, Heartfelt Series to Life
BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
A mild-mannered bird and his two wild best friends embark on a series of
hilarious adventures in Nickelodeon's brand-new animated series Harvey
Beaks, debuting Sunday, March 29, at 7:00p.m. (ET/PT). This
26-episode series, created and executive produced by C.H. Greenblatt (Chowder),
tells the story of the unlikely friendship between Harvey, a kid
who's never broken the rules, and Fee and Foo, his two friends who've
never lived by any. Viewers can catch a special first-look of the
series, produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, Calif.,
Saturday, March 28, at 9:30p.m. (ET/PT) immediately following the 2015
Kids' Choice Awards. Harvey Beaks will roll out on
Nickelodeon's international channels beginning this summer.
Set in a magical forest, this new series follows one sweet bird on his
mission to experience wild adventures with the help of his two best
friends. Harvey, Fee and Foo's connection only grows stronger throughout
the series as they push each other into endless fun. In the special
first-look "Pe-Choo!", in order to have an awesome time at the lake,
Harvey has to do the one thing that's the hardest for him-get in really
big trouble.
On Sunday, March 29, at 7:00p.m. (ET/PT), the series will launch in its
regular timeslot with "The Spitting Tree." Spitting from the highest
tree in Littlebark is fun until the kids realize they can't get back
down. An encore of "Pe-Choo!" will immediately follow.
"Carl Greenblatt's very funny and heart-warming stories fit directly in
with Nickelodeon's DNA and sensibilities," said Russell Hicks, President
of Content Development and Production, Nickelodeon. "In Harvey Beaks,
viewers have the opportunity to discover the joys, triumphs and fears of
growing up through thoughtful characters who push their limits and step
out of their personal comfort zones."

Nick App to learn more about the show and its characters, get a
