Nickelodeon celebrates 'Blue's Clues' anniversary with movie
NEW YORK (AP) - Nickelodeon says it is making a new movie featuring stars of 'œBlues Clues & You!'ť to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original show that was a mainstay of the network for several years.
The movie, which will start production this summer, follows Josh and Blue as they travel to New York City to audition for a Broadway musical. It's not clear when it will be ready, a spokeswoman said Monday.
Nickelodeon has several other activities planned to mark the Sept. 8, 1996, premiere of the original 'œBlue's Clues,'ť which aired six seasons' worth of originals. The celebration includes a music video featuring current star Josh Dela Cruz and former 'œBlue's Clues'ť hosts Steve Burns and Donovan Patton.
Some original episodes of 'œBlue's Clues'ť can be seen on the Paramount+ streaming service and, per Monday's announcement, more will be made available to coincide with the anniversary. The show was rebooted as 'œBlue's Clues & You'ť and is currently in its second season.
'œBlues Clues & You'ť will have a special, 'œIt's YOUR birthday'ť episode on Sept. 17, which will allow young viewers to celebrate their own birthdays.
