    Warner Media greenlights new ‘Titoo’ episodes for Pogo

    Mumbai: Warner Media has greenlit more episodes of the Indian animated comedy series “Titoo: Har Jawaab Ka Sawaal Hu” for its kids entertainment channel, Pogo. Produced by Cosmos-Maya, the original series premiered in July 2020.

    After four successful seasons, the latest commission of this local production includes a further 52 half-hour episodes as well as four 80-minute TV specials, said the channel in a statement On Monday.

    Commenting on the development, South Asia network head for Pogo and Cartoon Network, Abhishek Dutta said, “After we received so much love for ‘Titoo’ from Pogo fans over the past year, it was in many ways an easy decision to greenlight new episodes. It’s such a great show and is clearly making an impression on kids and families.”

    “We continue to put faith in locally-made shows that demonstrate India’s burgeoning creativity and talent within the animation industry. In addition to ‘Titoo’, Pogo’s line-up for the rest of 2021 is looking really impressive, with a steady rollout of new episodes, specials and fan-favourites,” he added.

    Cosmos-Maya CEO, Anish Mehta stated, “We are elated to see the love that has been showered on ‘Titoo’ since his debut. With his unique quirks and funny antics, he embodies the ‘novelty with familiarity’ mantra and is clearly a hit with the viewers. We’re certain that young fans will enjoy these brand-new escapades of ‘Titoo’. This is one of India’s fastest growing IPs and, together with Pogo, we are pushing all creative boundaries to make this a mega show.”

    Since early 2020, Warner Media has premiered a number of new local titles like “Lambu-G Tingu-G” and “Smashing Simmba” on Pogo and “Bandbudh aur Budbak” and Bollywood-inspired show “Dabangg – The Animated Series” on Cartoon Network. More recently, it launched its first-ever Indian CGI superhero series, “Ekans – Ek Se Badhkar Snake”.

    Cosmos-Maya starts 2021 with new seasons of hit shows

    MUMBAI: It’s just the second week of the new year, and animation studio Cosmos-Maya is already looking to outperform its own stellar run in 2020.

    By mid-2021, among a bevy of numerous upcoming projects, the studio plans to release second seasons of audience favourites Titoo, Gadget Guru Ganesha (GGG) and Bapu. The former two have reached this milestone merely six months into their preliminary release. Titoo has been a top performer on Turner-owned Pogo, consistently being in the top five viewed kids’ animated programs on Indian TV. Bapu and GGG are streaming on Indian OTT platform Zee5 and have been consistent top performers on TV as well, with GGG contributing strongly to gross channel viewership of Disney Channel India.

    The studio launched Titoo on Pogo in July 2020, a show about the eponymous schoolboy who likes to help people but always ends up causing trouble in the process. Bapu originally debuted in May 2020 and is a show about the Mahatma in a fun rendition of his social principles. Ganesh Chaturthi’20 saw the release of Gadget Guru Ganesha, a fantasy animated show about a group of orphans and their friendship with a little Ganesha who employs mystical gadgets to solve problems with them.

    Cosmos-Maya has unwaveringly adhered to strict production and release timelines in the past year, and it has reflected in the best way for the quality and performance of the eight shows they’ve released. The new announcements are just the beginning of a long line-up planned in 2021, with big names such as Dabangg and Tenali Rama also in the offering.

    Cosmos-Maya CEO Anish Mehta said the studio is creating new projects, and it's just the start of a great set of offerings lined up this year. 

    "Disney India and Turner (Warner Media) have played an integral part in our shows achieving the level of success that they see today. The domestic and international markets are opening up to a large cultural and creative diversity of animated content from every corner of the globe, and Indian homegrown kids’ content is here to make a mark deeper than ever. Our terrific creative heads Suhas Kadav (Bapu) and Dheeraj Berry (Titoo and Gadget Guru Ganesha) have helmed the projects with utmost ingenuity and have met the bar for success as with every Cosmos-Maya produced project. We have our finger on the pulse of audience demands and the media business landscape and 2021 will see the best of it,” added Mehta.

    MUMBAI: POGO and Cartoon Network, channels under WarnerMedia Entertainment Networks Asia Pacific, are ramping up original India productions with three new home-grown animation comedies.

    POGO has commissioned both ‘Titoo’ and ‘Lambuji Tinguji’, produced by Cosmos Maya, and Cartoon Network will air ‘Bandbudh Aur Budbak’, from Paperboat Studios.

    Cartoon Network and POGO in South Asia senior director and network head Abhishek Dutta 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 humour. 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.”

    Entertainment Networks in South Asia managing director Siddharth Jain 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.”

    As original productions, ‘Titoo’ and ‘Lambuji Tinguji’ offer myriad advertising opportunities including brand association and licensing partnerships. Even before the launch of these tentpole shows, brand integration and branded content production are being explored.

    Partners could also be a part of POGO’s nationwide promotional launch activities including mall events, digital promotions and on-air activations. These start in the months leading up to the launch and carry on during the initial airing on the channel, with additional sustaining tactics to maintain the excitement.
