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 will debut on Gulli in late 2015.[4]
Get Blake! was created by Antoine Guilbaud, an animator from France currently based in Los Angeles.

Acclaimed independent cartoonist Kaz, who had previously collaborated with Guilbaud on the latter two shows, was brought on board as co-executive producer.
