Blue's Humongous Clues. Woodinville, Washington-based children's
software company, Humongous Entertainment, has signed an exclusive, five-year
worldwide deal with Nickelodeon to create CD-ROMs based on Blue's Clues,
Nick Jr.'s preschool live-action/animation series. This is the first time
that Humongous will be working on a property created by another company.
However, it makes sense for the them to forge a working relationship with
Nickelodeon, as they begin to develop their popular original game characters
such as "Putt-Putt," "Freddi Fish" and "Pajama
Sam" for television animation. "Blue's Clues required
a worldwide software partner who shared our sensibilities and understanding
of how preschoolers `play to learn' - the Nick. Jr. Philosophy," said
Tom Ascheim, Nickelodeon's vice president of business development, publishing
and multimedia, "Humongous Entertainment was the best choice because
of their recognized experience and success with strong character development,
high-quality animation and interactive design that empowers kids."
The first of five Blue's Clues CD-ROMs is slated for a Fall 1998
release.
