Cartoon Network AsiaPac Orders Lamput Meets Tuzki

Cartoon Network has greenlit three new originals out of the Asia Pacific, including Lamput Meets Tuzki, a special starring two well-known characters hailing from India and China.

Lamput Meets Tuzki is a seven-minute special that brings together for the first time two legendary WarnerMedia IP. Tuzki, a Chinese rabbit, is a hit with young adults and has found a wide following on instant messaging apps, consumer products and through an animated series. Lamput, a gooey orange blob and master of disguise, is an Emmy-nominated Cartoon Network original property born in India.

In development is a short-form Tom and Jerry pilot, which sees for the first time the classic cat-and-mouse duo transplanted to the Asia-Pacific region.

Also in the works is the fourth season of Lamput.

Leslie Lee, head of kids APAC at WarnerMedia, commented: “Audiences have been laughing at Tom and Jerry’s chase antics for over 80 years. But this is the first time we’re looking at transporting the frenemies to our region, and reimagining their antics in an authentic and distinctly local context. We are working closely with Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank to bring these new adventures to life.”

Lee continued, “Guided by Carlene Tan, who heads up our original productions for Kids APAC, these two milestone projects are testament to our commitment to authentic storytelling. We look forward to continuing to champion Cartoon Network’s mission to unify our fans through more laughter and even bigger and bolder adventures!”
