Get Blake! (formerly Blake and the Aliens) is a French/American children's animated television series. In September 2012, the series was announced as a co-production between the French animation company Marathon Media, the French television network Gulli and the American television network Nickelodeon in the USA. The show first premiered on March 2, 2015 on Nicktoons in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It premiered on Nickelodeon in France on April 13 and will debut on Gulli in late 2015.
Get Blake! was created by Antoine Guilbaud, an animator from France currently based in Los Angeles. Guilbaud's previous experiences in animation have included writing and storyboarding on hit series such as Rocko's Modern Life, Camp Lazlo and Phineas & Ferb. Acclaimed independent cartoonist Kaz, who had previously collaborated with Guilbaud on the latter two shows, was brought on board as co-executive producer.
