{{Main|List of Nickelodeon original films}}
Nickelodeon has produced a variety of original made-for-TV movies, which usually premiere in weekend evening timeslots or on [[school holiday]]s. Nickelodeon also periodically acquires theatrically released feature films for broadcast on the channel.

The channel occasionally airs feature films produced by the network's [[Nickelodeon Movies]] film production division (whose films are distributed by sister company [[Paramount Pictures]]). Although the film division bears the Nickelodeon brand name, the channel does not have access to most of the movies produced by its film unit. The majority of the live-action feature films produced under the Nickelodeon Movies banner are licensed for broadcast by various free-to-air and pay television outlets within the United States other than Nickelodeon (although the network has aired a few live-action Nickelodeon Movies releases such as ''[[Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging]]'' and ''[[Good Burger]]'').

Nickelodeon also advertises hour-long episodes of its original series as movies;{{citation needed|date=March 2016}} 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 [[multiple-camera setup|multi-camera]] setup for regular episodes (unless the program is originally shot in the [[single-camera setup]] common of films) with some on-location filming.

In 2002, Nickelodeon entered a long-standing broadcast partnership with [[Mattel]] to air films and specials based on the toy company's [[Barbie]] (and later [[Monster High]]) dolls. The first [[Barbie (film series)|Barbie movie]] to air on Nickelodeon was ''[[Barbie as Rapunzel]]'' on November 24, 2002.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/269223244/?terms=Nickelodeon%20Barbie&match=1|title=Sunday TV listings|work=[[The Orlando Sentinel]]|date=November 24, 2002}}</ref> The Barbie and Monster High films are usually aired under a [[brokered programming|brokered]] format in which Mattel purchases the time in order to promote the release of their films on DVD within a few days of the Nickelodeon premiere, an arrangement possible as Nickelodeon does not have to meet the [[Federal Communications Commission]] rules which disallow that arrangement for broadcast channels due to regulations banning [[infomercial|paid programming]] to children.
