Watch Rabbids Invasion on Monday 3rd February at 4:30pm on Nicktoons

London, 10th January 2014 – The crazy and mischievous Rabbids® will make their UK television debut in Nickelodeon’s CG-animated series Rabbids Invasion premiering Monday 3rd February at 4:30pm on Nicktoons.

26 half-hour episodes will follow the uncontrollable Rabbids as they invade and wreak havoc on the human world. Communicating only by a crazy-sounding “Bwaaaaaah!” the Rabbids have no understanding of human conventions and are only interested in having fun.

During the premiere, ‘Omelet Party,’ the Rabbids stumble across a farm and become fascinated with the chickens’ ability to lay eggs. Next in ‘Rabbid Mollusk,’ the Rabbids find questionable uses for a starfish and an octopus while disrupting an old man’s attempt to clean windows. The series will air regularly weekdays at 4:30pm only on Nicktoons.

Fans can visit Nicktoons.co.uk/rabbids from the 20th January to access animated gifs, a quiz and play games such as Rabbids Raid, where players must attempt to catch the Rabbids armed only with plungers. The Nick App joins in on the mischievous fun featuring Rabbids-themed surprises in the addictive ‘Do Not Touch’ button, an exclusive game Rabbids Rhythm and access to a seven minute sneak-peak from the 27th January.  The Nick App is available free from the App Store on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch or here.

Created and produced by Ubisoft, this new series brings to television the hysterical physical comedy that is the hallmark of the wildly successful Rabbids video games. Created in 2006, the wacky, mischievous Rabbids have become a global sensation with over 14 million video games sold worldwide and hundreds of licensed products that feature the Rabbids characters.   Viral videos starring the Rabbids have attracted more than 62 million views on YouTube. The Rabbids phenomenon currently extends across multiple genres including parodies, videos, illustrations and consumer products.
