Nicktoons, Nickelodeons digital channel for kids favorite animated hits, will present the U.S. premiere of CORNEIL AND BERNIE, the hit animated comedy series from Europe.

Were thrilled to have CORNEIL AND BERNIE join the party here at Nicktoons, said Keith Dawkins, vp/gm, Nicktoons. Now that were spicing up our look and beginning to add hot, new shows like CORNEIL AND BERNIE to the mix, folks are going to see that were the place to turn to for whats fresh, new and cutting-edge.
CORNEIL AND BERNIE is a comedy about a refined and sophisticated dog (Corneil) and his dog sitter (Bernie). Corneil is fluent in several foreign languages, can skim-read and count at the speed of light and takes particular care to never reveal any of these talents to anyone, especially not to his owners. Unfortunately for him, Bernie discovers his secret, and his life is turned upside down.
This is a very important step forward for Millimages, and we look forward to a close and fruitful relationship with Nicktoons, said Roch Lener, president, Millimages. The network shares so many of the same creative aspirations as we do. CORNEIL AND BERNIE airs on the BBC, France 3, HR and KIKA (Germany), as well as ABC in Australia.
