In "Operation Mojo" Nat sees a tabloid photo of Rosalina smooching a young Frenchman during her 'round-the-world cruise and becomes convinced that he's losing her for good. Nat goes into a funk that threatens to prevent him from finishing the movie the band is making. Desperate to snap Nat out of his gloom, Alex leads Nat on a wilderness "dude-cation". Believing that surviving the perils of nature will lead Nat to regain his mojo, he enlists his band mates to clandestinely stage events designed to make Nat believe he's a wilderness hero. The movie includes the debut of two brand-new songs, "I Feel Alone" and "Curious," written and performed by Nat Wolff.

"We're excited to premiere The Naked Brothers Band's first animated special which showcases their humor in a fun, new, fantasy-filled format," said Marjorie Cohn, Executive Vice President, Development and Original Programming, Nickelodeon Networks. "This season fans can experience The Naked Brothers Band in a variety of ways with the new movie, animated special and Nat and Alex's upcoming live national tour."

The Naked Brothers Band also gets animated with their first-ever half-hour cartoon special, "The Supetastic 6", produced by digital entertainment studio Worldwide Biggies. When a jazz-playing criminal genius, jealous of the band's success, threatens to steal the world's hair supply, the Naked Brothers know that the only ones who can stop Global Balding are their superhero alter egos, The Supetastic 6.

The cross-country weekend tour, "Nat & Alex Wolff: Fully Clothed & On Tour," will hit multiple cities across the country and feature the brothers performing songs from their first and second albums, including, "I Don't Want To Go To School," "Crazy Car" and "Mystery Girl."

Fans of the hit series can purchase "The Naked Brothers Band: Season 2" DVD in stores now. The two-disc set includes 10 episodes featuring rehearsals, performances from the band and guest appearances.

Inspired by the Wolff siblings' real-life, preschool-born band, The Naked Brothers Band follows a world-famous rock group, chronicling their fame, friendship, temporary break-up and adolescent experiences. The series is created, executive produced, written and directed by Polly Draper (thirtysomething) who doubles as off-camera mom to Nat Wolff and Alex Wolff. She was nominated for a 2008 Writers Guild Award in the category of Children's Episodic & Specials for the episode titled "Nat is a Stand Up Guy." Celebrated jazz musician/composer Michael Wolff (The Arsenio Hall Show) -- the stars' real-life dad and Draper's husband -- keeps it all in the family but plays against type as the screen tweens' musically inept father and serves as the series' music supervisor/co-executive producer.
