| 4 | '''Nickelodeon Movies''' is, as the name suggests, a film production subset of Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and a unit of [[Creator/{{Paramount}} Paramount Pictures]]. They have made theatrical and direct-to-streaming films, both based on their TV shows and original projects, some of which eventually spun off into their own shows. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | While there were certain made-for-TV movies such as ''Film/AFairlyOddMovieGrowUpTimmyTurner'' and ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZimEnterTheFlorpus'', they were not produced by Nickelodeon Movies, but rather their respective original Nickelodeon studios. |

| 8 | !!History |
| 9 | Following their success on their three [[Franchise/{{Nicktoons}} animated series]]: WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}, WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} and WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow, Nickelodeon hooked up a distribution deal with [[Creator/{{TwentiethCenturyStudios}} Twentieth Century Fox]] in 1993 to produce feature films. However, the films would been newly produced material but a channel execute pointed out of making films from their shows at that time. Everything changed during 1994 when Nick's parent company [[Creator/{{ParamountGlobal}} Viacom]] purchased Paramount Communications, Paramount decided to distribute the films instead. Paramount and Nickelodeon agreed to start development on a [[WesternAnimation/{{TheRugratsMovie}} Rugrats film]] at that time. In 1995, Nickelodeon Movies (which is a unit of Paramount itself) was established. |

| 108 | ----- |
| 109 | !Nickelodeon Movies provides examples of: |
| 110 | * LogoJoke: It was a tradition to have a different opening logo in the studio's early years: |
| 111 | ** ''Film/HarrietTheSpy'' has a rhino running and stumbling on a prop before crashing into the screen and hanging on to the Nickelodeon logo. |
| 112 | ** ''Film/GoodBurger'': A cup gets filled with an orange milkshake or soda, then drives around like a race car until it stops, spills over to reveal the Nickelodeon logo. |
| 113 | ** ''Film/SnowDay'': A man is shoveling snow in front of his house with his dog when a giant ball with the Nick logo crashes on top of his house, startling the man and his dog. |
| 114 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' movies: |
| 115 | *** ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie'' features Slap T. Pooch from ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' messing around with an orange speck before a giant foot steps on him, leaving behind the Nick logo. |
| 116 | *** ''WesternAnimation/RugratsInParis'' has one similar to the ''Snow Day'' one, except the man is now stereotypically French, he is raking leaves instead of shoveling snow, and it's [[EiffelTowerEffect clearly set in France with the Eiffel Tower in the background]]. Also, after the full logo appears, his dog comes back to bark. |
| 117 | *** ''WesternAnimation/RugratsGoWild'' (as well as ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnoldTheMovie''): The logo is set up like three planets, to homage ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', followed by a sneeze turning it into the logo. |
| 118 | ** ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' has Goddard following the Nick ball as it bounces around, then projects the Movies ball alongside it. |
| 119 | ** ''Film/{{Clockstoppers}}'' has the Nick movies logo swaying around like a pendulum in a grandfather clock to emphasize the film's theme on time. |
| 120 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrysMovie'': A dog is sniffing at the camera, which cuts to the Nickelodeon Movies logo on the ground. It cuts to the dog again licking it up. |
| 121 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' movies: |
| 122 | *** ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie'' has a colorful explosion, then a blue sphere (possibly a shout-out to the Nickelodeon Pinball logo), a rose blooms as an orange blimp flies through it, followed by kaleidoscope view of goldfish and finally has the Nick bubble and the Movies bubble floating to place in the orange sea. |
| 123 | *** ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater'': The logo rises out of the ocean, covered in kelp and coral. |
| 124 | *** ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOnTheRun'': This variant begins when [=SpongeBob=] shouts his CatchPhrase offscreen (''"I'm ready!"''). He then pulls down a lever after some difficulty, shooting an electrified bust of the brand's iconic green slime through a pipe attached onto the logo. The logo's lights turn on, one after the other, and the dark walls fall down to reveal a purple sky. The Nickelodeon blimp passes by, shooting a 2D green slime projectile that forms the word "Movies" below the logo. It ends when [=SpongeBob=] sings the last notes of the logo's theme. This variant was used in later Nick movies like ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrolTheMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouseMovie'' but it removes [=SpongeBob=]'s dialogue and replaces it with a more audible "ding!" sound. |
| 125 | ** The logo before ''Film/NachoLibre'' zooms around a wrestling ring, then zooms in on a wrestling bell painted like the Nickelodeon Movies logo, which rings twice. |
| 126 | ** ''Film/HotelForDogs'': The Nick splat transitions into a sun, segueing into the film. |
| 127 | ** ''Film/TheLastAirbender'': The logo is created by flames. |
