Cartoons, capes and catchy tunes light up kids TV this September
MUMBAI: Holy binge-fest, Batman! September is shaping up to be a supercharged month on kids’ TV as Warner Bros. Discovery’s Cartoon Network, Pogo and Discovery Kids roll out a line-up brimming with caped crusaders, festival adventures and musical sing-alongs.
Cartoon Network is flying high with Batman Day celebrations on 20–21 September. Mornings will kick off with Batwheels, where Batman, Robin and Batgirl zoom through Gotham with their sentient vehicles. Come evening, fans can tune in at 6:30 pm for Bat-centric specials of Teen Titans Go!, including Batman v Teen Titans: Dark Injustice, a prank war gone too far until Raven restores order.
Over on Pogo, Sundays are reserved for epic heroics. From 14 to 28 September at 1 pm, Little Singham & Chhota Bheem: Olympus Ke Yoddha will pit the pint-sized superheroes against villains Kaal and Kirmada, armed with solar weapons powerful enough to threaten entire universes. With help from Little Krishna and a Golden Dragon hatchling, balance must be restored.
As festivals approach, Pogo kicks off its Superheroes Ka Superutsav from 22 September to 3 October, spotlighting 10 villains across premieres. The highlight? Chhota Bheem VS Rangda: The Battle for Bali on 28 September, where Bheem and friends fight to save the island from slipping into darkness.
For younger viewers (and parents who hum along), Discovery Kids keeps things tuneful with Cocomelon. Every Saturday and Sunday at 9:30 am, Baby JJ and siblings turn ordinary moments into musical memories, from school days to family time.
With superheroes, classic characters and cheerful tunes, the trio of kids’ channels promise week-after-week action, adventure and music to keep children (and quite possibly their parents) glued to the screen.
