Nicely done, Nickelodeon
Looking for something to keep your littles entertained? Showmax has a whole whack of content that’s perfect for everyone from toddlers to teens, whether you’re after quick animated series, longer cartoons or even feature movies thanks to the youth-oriented production network Nickelodeon! Niiiiiice!
PAW Patrol S1-5 + PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups
Everyone loves these pups on a mission. There isn’t a problem they’re afraid to tackle as they help people and creatures around their hometown of Adventure Bay. The smallest kids will enjoy these fun adventures, and there are five whole seasons to keep them entertained. Plus, from 20 August, stream PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups, the movie. A meteor crashes to Earth and gives the pup superhero powers – but will they be enough to defeat villains determined to take over the world?
Butterbean’s Café S1

Animated fairy Butterbean loves cupcakes and where better to serve up these icing-covered treats than the magical world of Puddlebrook? That’s where the sweet-sprinkling fairy runs Butterbean’s Café and gets daily visits from customers including non-gender-specific rabbits and chipmunks. It’s a wonderful place to be, even if Butterbean’s Café is right next to mean, grumpy Miss Marmalady’s store.
Dora the Explorer S1-6

The cartoon world’s most famous archaeologist and explorer is packing a punch as she goes on adventure after adventure. Dora and her monkey friend Boots visit places around the world, face off against rivals who want to stop them from reaching their destination, and learn all about history during their travels. Just keep an eye out for that nasty troll hiding under the bridge – Dora will need to use her brainpower to beat his riddles if she and Boots want to continue their exploring.
Top Wing S1

Birdie best friends Brody, Penny, Rod and Swift live on Big Swirl Island and they’re the latest recruits at Top Wing Academy. Their job as cadets is to patrol the skies on the island, warning and protecting the community from threats and doing rescue missions for anyone in need. And what would a cute animation like this be if there weren’t important little-people lessons to be learnt with the awesome foursome flyers?
JoJo D.R.E.A.M. Concert

Teen pop star JoJo Siwa is going on her D.R.E.A.M. music tour and she’s taking us along for the ride. Backstage, on-stage, behind the scenes, live during the musical performances – get ready to sing along, dance and have fun in the comfort of your COVID lockdown lounge. Plus there’s the JoJo Follow Your D.R.E.A.M. special to go with the main concert movie.
SpongeBob SquarePants S1-11

Are ya ready kids? Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Absorbent and yellow and porous is he? If nautical nonsense be something you wish? Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish! That’s a song you’re going to hear a lot of because SpongeBob SquarePants is available to stream in its entirety, including both live-action movies The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (Neptune’s crown has been stolen and only SpongeBob can find it) and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water (SpongeBob protects the secret Krabby Patty recipe).
School of Rock

The School of Rock series (both seasons are available) is the adaptation of the Jack Black movie that’s great for teens and features an all-new cast. Rock on, kids!
