Get Blake! (formerly Blake and the Aliens) is a French/American children's animated television series. The series is produced by the French animation company Marathon Media for Gulli and the global Nickelodeon network.[1][2] The show first premiered on March 2, 2015 on Nicktoons in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[3] It premiered on Nickelodeon in France on April 13 and debut on Gulli in late 2015.[4]

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.

Plot

The series tracks the exploits of Blake Myers, an adventurous boy who is destined to one day become a space ranger who protects humanity from alien squirrels called "Squaliens". The Squaliens, however, are sent back in time to prevent Blake from fulfilling this destiny.[2]
