MUMBAI: As Cartoon Network sashays towards its 20th anniversary; the channel adds yet another accolade to its legacy. The channel has been bestowed with two awards at the EEMAX Awards 2014 for its CN Super Toons campaign undertaken last December.
Cartoon Network Super Toons won the Gold Award in the category – Best School Contact Program and the Bronze Award in the category – Best New IP – Event / Activation at EEMAX.
During November – December 2013, Cartoon Network organized a mammoth and unique campaign called CN Super Toons. This first of its kind award show gave children the opportunity to vote for their favourite characters, shows, gags and other iconic moments from Cartoon Network. The month-long campaign included on-air promotions, digital voting via cartoonnetworkindia.com and on-ground road shows across 3 cities culminating in a 9000-people mega award show in Mumbai.
Commenting on this victory, Krishna Desai, Executive Director & Network Head – Kids, South Asia, Turner International India Pvt. Ltd. said, “We are extremely honoured to have been felicitated with these awards for the CN Super Toons campaign. It is a great recognition that proves that a strong concept with a multiplatform approach not only enthrals kids and parents but also gains industry acclaim. It will be our endeavour to continue to provide innovative and engaging content for our viewers.”
Organized by EEMA (Events and Entertainment Management Association), EEMAX recognizes outstanding contributions made in the Events and Entertainment industry in India.
The popularity of Cartoon Network extends well beyond television. Cartoon Network’s website, mobile games and customized back-to-school merchandize are equally popular with children. On-ground events such as the School Contact Programme and CN Super Toons awards also engage with thousands of fans from across the country. It is for these reasons and many more that Cartoon Network is India’s leading kids’ entertainment channel today!

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.
