Viacom18 Raises The Bar For Kid’s Content In India; Launches Maiden Animation Theatrical, "Motu Patlu King of Kings"
Original Viacom18 Press Release via ViaBuzz:
Viacom18 raises the bar for kid’s content in India;
Launches its maiden animation theatrical, Motu Patlu King of Kings
~ Partners with MAYA to tap into the burgeoning animation industry ~
Mumbai, September 8, 2016: Viacom18 is set to take the Indian animation industry to greater heights with the release of Motu Patlu King of Kings – the network’s maiden 3D stereoscopic animation theatrical. Two hugely successful divisions from the Viacom18 Network – Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Nickelodeon have joined hands to create the movie based on the very popular Lotpot characters Motu Patlu. The movie, produced by MAYA, will create a new milestone for Indian animation by promoting India’s vision of ‘Made In India’ content. The movie is slated to release on 14th October 2016, in Hindi and Tamil in over 700 screens across India.
Since its inception, Motu and Patlu have enjoyed a sweet spot in the minds of children and have over time become a phenomenal success for Viacom18 across television, digital and consumer products business lines. The network had previously released 10 Motu Patlu movies in the ‘made for TV’ format that received an overwhelming response, and the 11th movie marks the characters’ big screen debut. Post the theatrical release, the movie will also be aired on Nickelodeon and Viacom18’s digital platform, VOOT.
“An interesting confluence of 2 major developments has led to Motu Patlu’s silver screen debut. Firstly, the animation industry in India is rapidly evolving with a growth rate of ~13.8%, with over 15000 professionals working to create content for industries across the globe. Secondly, with an estimated 400mn kids in the country today, the kids category is the third largest in the Indian broadcast sector, after the GECs and Movies categories, with a sizeable headroom for growth in terms of both viewership and revenues.” Observed Sudhanshu Vats, Group CEO, Viacom18, before adding, “The 10 Motu Patlu ‘made-for-television’ movies have contributed ~10% of Nick’s ratings, being amongst the top 5 every time we released one such movie. The science behind the art of moviemaking, a core philosophy of Viacom18 Motion Pictures, demanded that the characters debuted on the silver screen. In that sense Motu Patlu has had an interesting journey – starting with television, then moving into digital, capitalizing on their growing brand value through Viacom18 Consumer Products and now starring in their own movie.”
Nina Elavia Jaipuria, Business Head, Kids Entertainment, Viacom18 added, “We have created a vibrant ecosystem around the Motu Patlu franchise that keeps growing in scale and reach by the day. From being the leading show across the kids category on television and digital; creating brand licensing opportunities across product categories, curating a great merchandising line, to now taking the franchise to the silver screen – our endearing Motu Patlu have further deepened and strengthened our bond with kids across the country.
Some of the leading names from the Indian film industry have been roped for the movie. The film is directed by Suhas Kadav and veteran lyricist Gulzar has penned lyrics of the title track. Vishal Bharadwaj has composed the music and Sukhwinder has lent his voice for the soundtrack.
Ajit Andhare, COO, Viacom18 Motion Pictures said, “Viacom18 Motion Pictures has stood for a distinctive kind of cinema and consistently delivered on that promise. Animation movies is an under-explored category in the Indian movie business and the success of the Motu Patlu ‘made for television’ movies clearly indicated that there was a demand for both the format and the characters to be introduced on a much larger scale. With our first foray into the the 3D stereoscopic animation segment, I hope the children across the country have special memories of Motu Patlu King of Kings, to take cherish.”
Talking about the film Ketan Mehta, Chairman & Managing Director, Maya Digital Studios, said “The launch of Motu Patlu King of Kings is a big step for the animation industry at large. Given that Motu Patlu is the most popular kids’ brand in the country today, we were inspired to create this magnum opus suitable for the big screen. This is a film that will be driven by children, but one that will be equally enjoyed by adults.”
A 360 degree marketing and activation plan has been crafted for the movie. Apart from being promoted on Viacom18’s network, the movie will also be promoted across other network groups. A promotion drive across 30 cities of the Hindi and Tamil speaking belts has also been planned for the movie. Marketing alliances with more than 20 brands across categories such as Confectionery, Toys, FMCG, Milk supplement products et al, is being tapped.
A story about a runaway circus lion, a lion king trying to protect his kingdom, a greedy poacher and Motu Patlu caught up in one final battle to save the life of the jungle; Motu Patlu King of Kings, releasing on October 14, 2016 is sure to capture the imagination of the children and adults across the nation.

Nickelodeon Turkey To Premiere "Lost In The West" In September 2016
Nickelodeon Turkey has announced the exciting news in their latest cover photo and a series of posts on their official Facebook profile page, Facebook.com/NickelodeonTurkey, that Nickelodeon Turkey (Türkiye) will be premiering Lost in the West, Nickelodeon's brand-new three-part original TV movie, locally titled Vahşi Batı, about two time-traveling stepbrothers who saddle up for a crazy Wild West adventure after they get transported back in time to 1885 when one of them accidentally invents a time machine, over three weeks in September 2016!
Nickelodeon Turkey will debut Lost in the West "Part 1" on Friday 16th September 2016 (16 Eylül Cuma) at 17.45. Following the premiere of Lost in the West part one, Nick Türkiye will premiere Lost in the West "Part 2" on Friday 23rd September 2016 at 17.45. Nickelodeon Turkey will then debut the concluding part of Nickelodeon's brand-new Wild West adventure, "Part 3", on Friday 30th September 2016 at 17.45.
Saddle up for a Wild West adventure in Nickelodeon's all-new three-part original TV movie, Lost in the West! The film centres on polar opposite stepbrothers, Chip, an all-around tech genius who lacks self-confidence, and Dave, a charismatic ladies' man with more brawn than brains. Their otherwise ordinary lives take an extraordinary turn when Chip's latest invention accidently lands them back in time to 1885 - the Wild West - the age of cowboys, cattle ranching and evil outlaws. The duo soon become entangled in a thrilling adventure as they fight off evil outlaws to save their hometown. When their actions in the past have time-altering repercussions, Chip and Dave enlist the help of friends from both time periods, including Luna, Lisa and Texas Jane, so they can avoid changing the future and make it back to the present in time for their school's Homecoming Dance. The boys will need to master the ways of the west, from horse riding to lassoing, to find their way back home!
Lost in the West stars Caleb Thomas (Chase Champion, Modern Family) as Chip, Niko Guardado (Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn) as Dave, Fallon Smythe as Lisa and Morgan Higgins as Texas Jane, and features an appearance by House of Anubis star Alex Sawyer.
Lost in the West is produced by Galdo Media and directed by Carlos Gonzalez (Big Time Rush). The TV movie is written by Kevin M. Brennan and Doug Manley.
