MUMBAI: Kids channel Pogo is all set to reacquaint kids of
Gen Y with the biggest comic hero of all time in an all new
animated avatar in Chaplin & Co every Saturday at 9 am,
starting 7 July.
Based
on the hilarious escapades of Charlie Chaplin, Chaplin and
Co is a co-production between Hyderabad-based DQ Entertainment
and France-based Method Animation, and was developed in consultation
with the Chaplin family.
Turner International India General Manager, Entertainment
Networks, South Asia Monica Tata said, “Our aim at Pogo
is to strike the perfect balance between Indian and international
shows that will enthrall kids and families.By launching a
show based on the biggest comic icon in the world, Charlie
Chaplin, we hope to entertain not only kids who never got
to witness his brilliance but also adults who grew up admiring
him. In addition, to remain relevant to today’s generation
and broaden its appeal, the show has been made in colour and
animation."
Cartoon
Network Asia had in 2010 acquired the TV broadcast rights
of the popular animated series for certain Asian territories
including India.
The
broadcasting rights relate to 104 Chaplin and Co episodes,
each 6 minutes long and will be broadcast across all of Cartoon
Network’s Asia Pacific markets in more than 26 countries
from early 2012.
