Disney will be giving out special Teacher’s Day cards to kids during a specially conducted school contact programme – ‘Mazey Ki Class’. This distribution was done in close to 230 schools across six cities and reached approximately 180,000 kids through this exercise. The kids were given one card each as well as a leaflet with a simple contest. The contest will ask kids to write in the name of their favourite teacher – and ask why they would want to take their teacher out for dinner. Twenty five lucky kids whose answers are most interesting will get to take his/her favourite teacher for dinner.
Kids can also contact Disney through snail mail, SMS, website and the channel will send a special Disney Teacher’s Day card to their favourite teachers before 5 September. The card will have the name of the teacher as well as the name of the kid the from whom it has been sent. Cards will also be sent to school principals. Apart from this, the channel will also air a special movie on Teacher’s Day at 6 pm called Recess: School’s Out.  On the other hand, Nick will have a special Teacher’s month, which will have one hour of a Double-Decker ride every weekend! Nick will drive kids to school even on Saturdays and Sundays in a series of weekend programming that would highlight the importance of the role of a teacher and the joys of being a student.
From 1 – 2 pm, Nick will introduce kids to life’s sweetest, nicest and scariest teachers. The special programmes that will be aired are given below:

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.
