iCarly videogame available for Wii(TM) & Nintendo DS(TM) in North America
MUMBAI: Nickelodeon and Activision Publishing have announced that iCarly videogame will now be available for Wii(TM) and Nintendo DS(TM)/ Nintendo DSi(TM) in North America.
The game lets fans of Nickelodeon‘s television series join the cast of iCarly in a virtual experience. Inspired by the show‘s theme of using technology to be creative, iCarly has special features for the Nintendo DSi(TM) that let players interact with their surroundings using the system‘s camera and microphone.
Said Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group EVP digital media Steve Youngwood, “Part of what has made iCarly the top show with kids and teens is allowing them to participate in their viewing experience through the website. This game extends that concept even further by tapping into kids‘ creativity to provide them with endless fun.”
In the iCarly video game, players help Carly, Sam, Freddie and the other characters from the TV series craft all-new “webisodes” of the show in an original storyline written exclusively for the game. Over 80 challenges – presented as show segments – capture the creativity of the series, and allow players to collaborate with the show‘s main characters through new adventures.
The innovative iCreate mode provides opportunities for gamers to add their own unique touches to the webisodes by swapping out props, characters, colour schemes, audio, intros and outros. Up to four players can either compete or cooperate together on Wii to complete the skits and earn Web-Cred, which can then be used to purchase new items, props, accessories and locations from in-game virtual websites.

Mukta Arts and Green Gold ink MOU to animate iconic film IPs
Kalicharan, Karz, Hero, Karma, Ram Lakhan to spawn animated shows plus features.
MUMBAI: When classic hindi movie meets animation, the result is a fresh reel of nostalgia with a cartoon twist. Mukta Arts Ltd. and Green Gold Animation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on animated shows and feature films drawn from Mukta Arts’ four-decade treasure trove of iconic IPs. The partnership taps Mukta’s SGM Animation Studio launched in 2025 as its dedicated animation and games arm and Green Gold’s proven track record in building scalable, homegrown franchises. Creative teams from both sides have already kicked off discussions, with the first project currently in development.
The slate will draw inspiration from landmark Mukta films including Kalicharan, Karz, Hero, Karma, Ram Lakhan, Khalnayak, Saudagar and Iqbal, plus character-led spin-offs from those universes. The aim is to reimagine these stories for today’s young, global audiences while preserving their emotional core.
Green Gold Animation (home of Chhota Bheem) founder and CEO Rajiv Chilaka said, “This partnership with SGM Studios allows us to apply our experience in building long-lasting animation IPs to a truly iconic film catalogue. Together, we aim to create animated worlds that are rooted in these legendary stories, yet designed to connect with today’s young, global audiences.”
Mukta Arts Ltd. filmmaker and founder Subhash Ghai added, “Mukta Arts has always believed in creating stories with lasting emotional value. Through animation, we are extending our IP into a new medium for the next generation.”
In an industry where timeless tales never go out of fashion, this collaboration promises to bring beloved characters back to life with a modern, animated glow proving that some stories are too good to stay in live-action. Stay tuned for the first animated frame to drop.
