Background

NickSkip is a special feature used on Nickelodeon DVDs. Introduced in 2009, the system purports to play the program and certain bonus features automatically, without needing to use a remote. The idea was later scrapped because only Disney had FastPlay and HiT Entertainment already had AutoPlay.

(2009 or 2010?)

• 

Logo: The 2009 Nickelodeon Productions logo animation, without the "PRODUCTIONS" text or copyright info, plays. After the animation ceases, a disc flies in, cutting off the "elodeon" part of the "nickelodeon" text. The remaining text moves over while the disc spins, and the word "skip" walks in. As the "nick" and "skip" texts come to their final positions, the disc becomes orange. Spotlights then appear on the logo for a brief time. To conclude, the logo bows.

FX/SFX: The disc flying in, the announcer speaking the dialogue below, and a couple of SFX.

Music/Sounds: A shortened version of the 2009 Nickelodeon Productions logo music. After this, a male announcer says "Nickelodeon designed this DVD with NickSkip technology. Your program will instantly play without delay. To exit the NickSkip experience at any time, please press the top menu button on your remote control. Enjoy!".

Availability: The logo was going to be used on a couple of Nickelodeon DVDs in 2009 or 2010, but this idea was later scrapped. The logo can be found on Vimeo.

Editor's Note: Although the NickSkip logo remains unused, it might be a rip-off to Disney's FastPlay.
