9X Media to launch YouTube channel Loppipops on Childrens’ Day
Mumbai: Music television network 9X Media is all set for the launch of its kids’ learning channel Loppipops on 14 November. The channel will bring together learning and music through a specially designed and curated playlist of kids’ rhymes and videos, presented by the popular duo Bade-Chote and their gang of animated characters, it said in a statement.
Loppipops is intended as a destination for preschoolers to learn with music. It will ease the learning process for them through the effective use of engaging audio-visual content, bringing together the best of factual knowledge and playful animation.
In the colourful land of Loppipops toddlers will learn letters, numbers, phonics, sing-along songs, moral values, and manners with Bade-Chote and their friends in child-safe screen-time. Bade-Chote will help them in creating an emotional connection with the characters, thus boosting their powers of grasping and further building their interest in learning, said the statement.
Loppipops will be widely promoted across 9X Media Network and its social media handles. The channel will also be available across all audio and video streaming platforms in addition to YouTube, it added.
“Loppipops will captivate the interest of its young audience in a fun and memorable manner. Over the years, Bade-Chote and their friends have become iconic household names. Extending the IP into the kids’ space was a natural progression with the ever-increasing demand for kid’s content,” stated 9X Media chief programming officer Amar Tidke.
“Music is the building block of early learning and as a music network, we have over the years experimented in various ways to entertain our audiences through music. The endeavour here is to entertain and make learning fun. The Loppipops gang will engage the kids in ‘Child-safe’ screen time by providing them with the right edutainment,” he further added.

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.
