'This is life changing': Student animators from Winnipeg pitch to Nickelodeon executives in L.A.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manito... When the people behind Rugrats and Spongebob SquarePants ask for a meeting, you take it. That's exactly what 12 animation students from Winnipeg did when Nickelodeon asked them to pitch their own cartoon series, in person, in Los Angeles. "This is like a lifetime opportunity for me, going to Nickelodeon. This is life changing for me," said Errol Abejero. Abejero was one of the 12 post-high school animation students from Sisler High School's Create program who flew to L.A. in May to pitch three animation series to Nickelodeon.
