Aside from those of us whose most exciting part of Valentine’s Day was a cancelled dentist’s appointment, the PHB hopes you had a happy heart day. All the love to you, dear readers! 💖
The Poptropica Creators posted a series of cheesy and punny Valentine’s Cards, featuring many different characters (including some from islands and Realms yet to return).
Some of these are really cute. I love the background colors for the first collection! Too bad poor Balloon Boy has yet to land, even for a holiday!
The Adventure Outfitters shop has also been updated for the season, with the classic Heart Knight (300 credits) for all. Or if you want to be “one in Amelia-on,” try out the members-only Stylin’ Outfit (250): a nice mix between casual and fashionista.
Speaking of old islands, we have an ad that hearkens back to an early one. The Big Nate TV series is now being advertised on Home Island!
After watching the trailer, you get two interactive items: Cheezy Snacks and a Drum Kit. Upon activating each, a cloud of cheese dust covers your character, and the drums can be played! You can actually continue to walk while playing the drums (thanks for the tip, Gentle Dolphin).
Are any of you planning on seeing the Big Nate series on Paramount+? And regardless of your single/taken status, remember there are plenty of people, friends and family, who love you. I for one appreciate every reader here and look forward to your comments!

Cute cards, and happy heart day! 💖 Thanks Maryann and Gentle Dolphin for being two in Amelia-on to share this update with us. 😄
You’re very welcome!! :> Glad GD was able to get the screenshots too!!
Thanks! Glad to help with this post!
No problem! 📸💓
The Big Nate movie is actually a TV show. 😉 It’s pretty mind blowing that Big Nate Island made Big Nate popular enough to get a TV series, yet ironic that the island couldn’t coexist with the advertisement for the show. It could’ve been cool to see Poptropica do something interesting with Big Nate Island to farther celebrate the show’s release had the island not been deleted.
Thanks for spotting that, it’s been fixed! You’re right, it would have been really cool to celebrate this release on Big Nate Island if that were still around. More reason to bring it back!
At least it’s still available on Flashpoint.
Although, I liked the 2D art style for Big Nate better tbh. I guess who ever is producing the TV show wanted to follow the trend of all recent animated movies being made in 3D, but I feel like some things look better with 2D animation. Maybe that’s just me though.
How did Balloon Boy switch from a green balloon to a pink one?
Artistic license, and pink for Valentine’s. 💖
