It's cartoon extravaganza for kids in Bengal with launch of MOOPLE TV
Kolkata, Nov 15 (IBNS) What could have been a more apt gift to kids on the Children's Day than a channel beaming animated cartoons?
To commemorate 14 November, Kolkata-based Hi-Tech Animation, an animation and multi-media education and training hub, launched MOOPLE TV for kids.
Film actor Dev and Koel Mullick inaugurated the channel in the presence of children.
This opened up a world of newly created Bengali animated cartoon characters like Neel, Pari, Rex, Packi, Stegy, Tops and Tero under the title “Dhinchak Dino”.
The channel flagged off with Bengali cartoons. However, plans are on to beam series in Hindi and other Indian languages.
Subrata Roy, founder and Managing Director of Hi-Tech Animation said, “We work for kids who are the moodiest people in the world and also our super heroes.
"We have thus tried to make the content according to their various moods. Hence the name MOOPLE."
Hi-Tech Animation has plans of investing Rs 8 crores initially in MOOPLE TV for content creation in Bengali and other regional languages.
The company also plans to launch a full fledged Bengali Satellite Cartoon Channel within two years.
Said Roy, “We thought of starting in YouTube because it is a free channel and would be easily accessible to the children over mobile phones and other handheld gadgets.
"Also, we thought of starting with Bengali animated cartoons because besides Bangladesh and India, there is a huge Bengali diaspora across the world".
Three additional directors of Moople TV - Prashant Chopra, Saurav Duggar and Anurag Chirimar - are also brains behind this unique venture.
