name of the channel came.

The animated series that aired on Nickelodeon were largely imported from
foreign countries until 1991 and some original animated specials were also
featured on the channel up to that point.
Original animated series continue to make up a substantial portion of
Nickelodeon's line-up, since the late 2000s, after the channel struck a deal
with DreamWorks Animation in 2006 to develop the studio's animated
films into weekly series.

its film unit, as the film division bears the Nickelodeon brand name.

various broadcast and cable television outlets within the United States
other than Nickelodeon for the majority of the live-action feature films.
Original series hour-long episodes are advertised as movies, in this
channel, though the "TV movie" versions of Nickelodeon's original series
differ from traditional television films.
In that they have shorter running times (approximately 45 minutes, as
opposed to 75–100 minute run times that most television movies have),
and use a traditional multi-camera setup for regular episodes (unless the
program is natively shot in the single-camera setup common of films) with
some on-location filming.
Theatrically released feature films are also sometimes acquired by
Nickelodeon for broadcast on the channel including Universal's Barbie: A
Fashion Fairytale, several Monster High films.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles Forever (which was later released by
Nickelodeon Movies through Paramount for DVD release), with the Barbie
and Monster High films usually aired under a brokered format in
which Mattel purchases the time in order to promote the release of their
films on DVD.
As the Nickelodeon channel does not have to meet the Federal
Communications Commission rules which disallow that arrangement for
broadcast channels due to regulations disallowing paid programming to
children, the film’s release are done after a few days of the initial screening
in the channel.
