POGO & Cartoon Network Unveil Three New Indian Comedies

POGO and Cartoon Network India, under WarnerMedia Entertainment Networks Asia Pacific, are ramping up original Indian productions with three new homegrown animated comedies, including Titoo.

POGO has commissioned both Titoo and Lambuji Tinguji, produced by Cosmos Maya, and Cartoon Network will air Bandbudh Aur Budbak from Paperboat Studios. Titoo is a comedy that follows the daily escapades of 8-year-old Titoo, a good-hearted, intelligent kid who loves to help everyone but inadvertently manages to brew even more trouble.

A slapstick buddy comedy, Lambuji Tinguji explores the funny escapades of the inseparable eponymous duo in Buddy Badi Valley. Whether it’s fighting crime or eating at a fancy new place or helping a citizen, they are always together in every adventure.

Cartoon Network welcomes Bandbudh Aur Budbak to its portfolio of cartoons. The award-winning animation features the amusing capers of two 10-year-old boys, Budhdeb and Badrinath. Thick as thieves, the two pranksters are inexplicably at the center of every ruckus, usually getting away scot-free with a stroke of luck or with an irrational argument.

Abhishek Dutta, senior director and network head of Cartoon Network and POGO in South Asia, said, “Our top priority is our fans and they love characters and great stories. These quintessentially Indian shows will resonate strongly with them. We commissioned Titoo and Lambuji Tinguji, and acquired Bandbudh Aur Budbak, for their clever use of comedy and humor.

“They all feature visual richness and robust characters, embedded in unique animated worlds and stories. The creativity and talent now seen in the Indian animation industry has developed tremendously and the commitment made to three homegrown IPs is testament to our belief in the industry to create world-class entertainment.”

Siddharth Jain, managing director of WarnerMedia Entertainment Networks South Asia, added, “India continues to be a priority market for WarnerMedia Entertainment Networks in Asia Pacific. Investing in three new shows for POGO and Cartoon Network in 2020 further demonstrates our commitment to scaling up and sustaining the quality of our kids entertainment.”
