History

The block was first introduced in the fall 1990s and early 2000s as a programming block airing on Nickelodeon’s Latin American channel, on July 1, 2008, Nick Jr. was launched as a channel in the region. On September 19, 2023, Nick Jr. delocalised and started to use some assets from EMEAA. This change also replaced end credits with short credits, indicating the show's name, production company and year, similar to the Nickelodeon channels in EMEAA. However, it is still retaining some localization, such as advertisements, localised text on selected trailers, and opt-outs for local programming, such as Os Chocolix in Brazil.
