The
movies that will be shown as part of the Sabse Bada
Film Festival are: Jungle Book, Aladdin and the
King of Thieves, Tarzan, Pocahontas, Atlantis, Return
of Jaffar, Lilo and Stitch, Mulan, Lion King II and
Lion King III.
The
channel has given the Sabse Bada Film Festival a huge
marketing push in all medium - television, outdoor,
print, internet coupled with some interesting in-office
promotions with trade and media houses.
A
five-feet tall popcorn box was sent to as many as
150 offices in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore. Walt Disney
Television International (India) director marketing
and communications Tushar Shah said, "We thought
of this innovation wherein we sent out the huge popcorn
box to clients', agencies and media houses. Popcorn's
connection with movies is seamless and what better
way than this to bring about a perfect fit."
As
far as the creatives for the campaign is concerned,
Shah informed that the biggest challenge was to transform
the largeness of the offer in terms of the creative.
The ad campaign selectively uses the magnetism of
Mowgli (from Jungle Book), the swiftness of
Tarzan and the charisma of Kovu (Simbas daughter
in Lion King 2) to build the magic and mood
of the festival.
"To
showcase platinum titles in a simple but effective
communication is always a challenge. The characters
are larger than life in the campaign and that creates
a 'wow' factor. The maximum reach is achieved by buzz
marketing and that's what we focussed on. The campaign
has been designed as the start-point for the goose-bumps
to follow on-air."
Disney
Channel has been cross-promoting the Sabse Bada Film
Festivals on channels like Star Plus (during KBC
2), Star One (during Nach Baliye and The
Great Indian Laughter Champions), Star Gold and
also on local cable channels.
