The Superb Misadventures of Nimbus
The show was first conceived by series creator Liam Mullen when he created an animation called The Great Adventures of MoonNimbus in 2009. He pitched MoonNimbus to Cartoon Network in 2010 by showing the CN executives the MoonNimbus animation. After watching the animation, Cartoon Network decided to not greenlit a full series. Then, he pitched it to Nickelodeon in 2011. After an executive at Nickelodeon was already a fan of the animation, the channel greenlit the show in 2012. A pilot episode of the show was produced in 2013 for the Nickelodeon Animated Shorts Program and was later released in 2014. Originally, the show was meant to be just a series of shorts that would play in between shows, but it was turned into a full series due to an executive at Nickelodeon finding potential in a full series. Later in development, MoonNimbus was renamed Nimbus so that the show can differentiate from the 2009 animation. The show was picked up in September 2013 for 13 half-hour episodes (later 26).
