The Viacom-owned kids network will panel "Legend of Korra," "Sanjay and Craig" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" during the annual geekfest.

Expect a big presence from Nickelodeon at this year's Comic-Con.

The Viacom-owned kids network will debut an expansive booth that will spiral down from the floor to the ceiling of the convention center, with collaged images from its slate of shows, such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Rugrats, Invader Zim and The Ren & Stimpy Show, The Hollywood Reporter exclusively reveals.

Additionally, the network will use Comic-Con as a three-day open call for original animated project ideas with the animated development team on-site from Thursday, July 24 through Saturday, July 26 to hear 15-minute prescheduled pitches from applicants. The intention is to greenlight an original comedy idea to further develop it as part of the Animated Shorts Program. (Nickelodeon recently ordered to series The Loud House, which was borne from the program.)
