Cartoon Network celebrates 20 years in India

The channel is bringing back classic shows, both international and Indian, and is giving fans a chance to win a trip to Thailand

May 6, 2015:

cartoon-networkOver the years, Cartoon Network has become every child's one-stop destination for fun, laughter, adventure, best friends, superheroes, cartoons, entertainment and much more. This year, the iconic brand celebrates its 20th anniversary in India. Cartoon Network is pulling out all stops to showcase shows, movies and contests in a month-long stunt that will enthrall fans across generations.

The Happy Birthday Cartoon Network programming line-up not only includes current favourites such as 'Horrid Henry' and 'Oggy and the Cockroaches', but also reinvigorated versions of classic series such as 'The Flintstones', 'The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy' and 'Courage the Cowardly Dog'. Starting May 4, the shows are being aired at 11 am from Monday to Friday.

To make the celebrations even more rewarding, Cartoon Network is giving one child and his/ her family a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to the recently launched Cartoon Network Amazone waterpark in Thailand. All kids have to do is watch the Happy Birthday Cartoon Network block at 11 am throughout May and answer some questions. Other prizes include tablets and PSPs.

Cartoon Network is launching new content not only from its international portfolio, but also from its stable of local Indian shows such as 'Roll No 21' and movies such as 'Mighty Raju: Superhero School', 'Sonic Boom Dhamaal Aur Dhoom', and 'Sholay Adventures'. Cartoon Network Originals' global hit franchises – 'Steven Universe' and 'The Amazing World of Gumball' – are back with new episodes and the channel will be launching two new Cartoon Network Original series, called 'Uncle Grandpa' (in May) and 'Clarence' (in June).

Speaking on the occasion, Siddharth Jain, Managing Director, South Asia, Turner International India, said, “Since its inception in 1995, Cartoon Network has been the leading channel in the genre thanks to the adulation and loyalty of our fans across generations. We look forward to the future with innovative and engaging content forming our cornerstone to success.”
