Well sadly Nickelodeon has removed its preschool animated series ‘Made by Maddie’ from its schedule.
This comes in response to controversy about similarities between its characters and those in Matthew A. Cherry’s oscar winning short called, Hair Love.
The network announced this decision in a statement obtained by FEMI Magazine.
“Made by Maddie is a show we acquired several years ago from Silvergate Media, a renowned production company we have previously worked with on other series. Since announcing the show’s premiere date this week, we have been listening closely to the commentary, criticism and concern coming from both viewers and members of the creative community. In response, and out of respect to all voices in the conversation, we are removing the show from our schedule as we garner further insight into the creative journey of the show. We are grateful to Silvergate Media for all of their work. And we hold Matthew A. Cherry and the wonderful and inspiring Hair Love in the highest regard.”
Made by Maddie had been scheduled to premiere September 13 on Nick Jr.
