Nickelodeon Movies' credits

this is bizarre. the trailer contains the banner's logo, and from what i can gather it is present on theatrical prints, however today with the release of the film on digital, those credits seem to have been completely stripped. do we credit via a note? what do we do? Flyless Kyle (talk) 02:54, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We go by the official credits of the film, not a promotional trailer. I watched the credits and did not see Nickelodeon mentioned at all. Not sure why, but it's not our place to try to explain it (without sources). Mike Allen 03:12, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also there is no mention of Nickelodeon in the copyright document. (see screenshot of page) Mike Allen 21:09, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That copyright doc is not for the movie. Also, apparently Nickelodeon was shown in the theatrical version (and the billing block too), but was replaced with Paramount Animantion in the digital release. It's weird tho. IAmNMFlores (talk) 02:47, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is, it’s just the website is flaky and hard to direct link to. Can we find a source saying Nick only appeared in theatrical version? It was released in very very limited theaters, so it may be impossible. There’s no reviews on Varierty or THR. This whole film release has been odd. Mike Allen 10:25, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Production section

I added more info to the production section. Sources can be found on David Soren's X and Instagram. Additionally, I added a music section, and here's some additional info. https://variety.com/2021/music/news/jack-harlow-sean-douglas-nova-wave-range-media-1235028004/ ZX2006XZ (talk) 02:53, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to give an update and say that David Soren's posts X and Instagram about the production of this film should not be removed from this article. ZX2006XZ (talk) 19:47, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Runtime

The film began streaming in November 2023, thus we use that runtime that is sourced to the BBFC per WP:FILMRUNTIME. The DVD came out in December and apparently added six minutes. If no reliable sources have reported on the reasoning for the extra runtime, then there is no reason to add it here. Mike Allen 20:34, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike Allen: I'm not convinced there is extra footage in the DVD release as I can't find any reference to it. Rather, I suspect that the 83 minute runtime at the BBFC is due to PAL speedup from 86 minutes to 83 minutes (4% difference is 3m44s). The BBFC's guidelines for submitting VOD content allow for submission on DVD [1].

I checked a few UK VOD sites. Google Play has 86 minutes [2] Apple has 87 minutes [3] Amazon has 89 minutes [4] Microsoft has 86 minutes [5] and YouTube has 87 minutes [6]. Sky Store is admittedly an outlier at 83 minutes, although there's the possibility they've just lifted the info from the BBFC.[7]. Barry Wom (talk) 10:28, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What source would you recommend the page uses? Unfortunately no major critics reviewed this film, so we can't use a source like Variety for it. Mike Allen 20:16, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure which source we can safely use for the runtime, but as mentioned above, I'm fairly convinced that the DVD came out in December and apparently added six minutes is incorrect. I still can find no reference to an expanded DVD version.

I'm also fairly convinced that in this case, the BBFC runtime is incorrect. Since the revamp of their website a few years ago only runtime entries under the "Cinema" tab for the film are reliable. The actual runtime of the film on Amazon is 1h26m39s. Barry Wom (talk) 16:13, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
