Kingfisher Airlines takes Disney publishing on-board
MUMBAI: Kingfisher Airlines has forged a tie-up with Disney Publishing, the children‘s books and magazines publisher, to bring them on-board their kids programme, ‘Little Wings.’
Kingfisher Airlines Ltd marketing head Vikram Malhotra said, “Kingfisher Airlines is a family friendly airline and we believe that children are valuable guests. Keeping that thought in mind and to ensure that our young guests have an exciting and enjoyable flight, Kingfisher Airlines is proud to introduce ‘Little Wings’ in association with Disney Publishing.”
Kingfisher Airlines had introduced a slew of activities to keep its young guests occupied and entertained on-board with a specially designed in-flight activity magazine, in-flight entertainment and special Disney give-aways. Disney kids, comprehensive children’s magazine, will be made available to Kingfisher Airlines young guests, aged below 14 years, on all its schedule flights.
The contents for ‘Little Wings’ will be developed in-house with support from Disney Academia, Milan. It will have Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh for the younger guests and Cars, Princesses, High School Musical, Pirates of the Caribbean and Hannah Montana for its budding teenage guests.
The content of the magazine will consist of activities and fun things – from colouring pages, comic strips to little nuggets of information about the characters. There will be posters kids can pull-out, codes that they can crack, and other to-do stuff!
The cabin crew on every flight will ensure that the in-flight magazine is hand delivered to children on all its services – Kingfisher First, Kingfisher Class, Kingfisher Red and international operations.
As part of its Little Wings programme, by the end of the year, Kingfisher Airlines will also provide in-flight entertainment by showcasing movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Finding Nemo, Toy Story and television channel properties like Hannah Montana, Camp Rock, High School Musical on the personalised video screens available on every seat.

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.
