Naked Brothers Band Go on a Quest to Save the ‘Polar Bears’

The Naked Brothers Band heads to “The Big Easy,” rolling into New Orleans on their first national rock tour in the new 90-minute TV movie, “Polar Bears,” premiering Friday, June 6, at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. Climate change is at the forefront of the movie as the band witnesses the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and questions the environment’s connection to the catastrophe. After Alex watches the Oscar(R)-winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth,” the band rallies together to raise money and awareness for the environment and in particular for the polar bears, who stand a chance of extinction.

The heart-warming TV movie also includes the debut of three of the band’s latest songs, “I’ve Got a Question”; “Flying Away,” written and performed by Nat Wolff; and “Why,” written and performed by Alex Wolff. Two additional songs — “Eventually” and “I’ll Do Anything” will also be featured in the episode. Both songs were written and performed by Nat Wolff. The Naked Brothers Band airs regularly on Nickelodeon Saturday nights at 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

“‘Polar Bears’ is a TV movie with heart,” said Marjorie Cohn, Executive Vice President Original Programming & Development, Nickelodeon Networks. “What makes this movie stand out beyond all the fun and music that is the trademark of the Naked Brothers Band is that it examines the issues of climate change from a kid’s point-of-view and illustrates how kids can make a difference in the world today.”

In “Polar Bears”, the band’s next concert stop is New Orleans. Nat and Alex stay with an old friend of the family and are overjoyed to be reunited with their childhood playmates. But Rosalina is jealous of this new potential “competition” and her complicated feelings for Nat keep her from being honest with him. Qaasim is also upset that he has seemingly lost his magic touch with the ladies, which couldn’t come at a worse time as he has a huge crush on Nat’s childhood friend. Meanwhile, Alex sees “An Inconvenient Truth” and is determined to take a stand against global warming. He takes it a little too far but his passion is inspiring to everyone and as usual, his charm more than makes up for his overzealousness.

On Tuesday, June 17, fans of the hit series can purchase the “Polar Bears” DVD which will be available to selected retailers across the country. The DVD will include the TV movie along with four music videos — “I’ve Got a Question,” “I’ll Do Anything,” “Why” and “Eventually.” The DVD is produced by Nickelodeon Home Entertainment and distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment.

The Naked Brothers Band “Polar Bears” episode is one of several Nickelodeon series that will incorporate green themes over the next year as part of Nickelodeon’s The Big Green Help multiplatform pro-social campaign. Designed to empower kids to take action on the environment through gaming and grassroots activity, The Big Green Help will provide information and tools to help explain climate change to kids, and connect them to energy saving and earth-friendly activities in their everyday lives.
