MUMBAI: Cartoon Network in India will air the 'network premiere' of the Academy award winning animated movie - Shrek during its Sunday movie block Cartoon Network Theatre on 17 June at 12 noon.

The movie will be aired in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu and has roped in Cyrus Broacha to lend his voice to the donkey in the Hindi version.

Turner International India, Pvt. Ltd., VP advertising sales and networks across India and South Asia Monica Tata said, "The adaptation of Shrek in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu is yet another milestone effort to reach out to as wide an audience as possible. We are especially delighted to have Cyrus on board as the voice of one of the key characters - Donkey in the Hindi version. Cyrus, with his spontaneous witty delivery and quirky humour, has particularly been a great fit. I am sure kids across the country will enjoy this fantastic movie as part of Cartoon Network's summer bonanza."

Shrek is about a big green ogre who lives alone in the woods, feared by all the people in the land of Duloc. When Lord Farquaad, exiles all the fairy-tale beings in the woods, he sets to find Lord Farquaad to convince him to take the fairy-tale beings back where they belong. Lord Farquaad agrees, but forces Shrek to rescue Princess Fiona from an enormous dragon, who will become Farquaad's bride. Along the way, Shrek befriends a talking Donkey (the voice of Cyrus Broacha), and falls in love with Fiona.

The month of June will also witness other movie premieres on Cartoon Network such as - The Powerpuff Girls: The Movie; The Land before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Secret Origins.
