Tokyo Disneyland unveils new ride based on Monsters Inc
MUMBAI: Tokyo Disneyland has unveiled its new ride, ‘Monsters Inc Ride and Go Seek!‘ which is based on Walt Disney‘s animation blockbuster Monsters Inc.
To be made on an estimated budget of approximately $139 million, the four-minute ride is the first addition to the Tokyo Bay area theme park after a period of five years.
The last addition to the theme park was Buzz Lightyear‘s Astro Blasters that was introduced in 2004 and was based on Disney-Pixar‘s Toy Story.
Located at the park‘s Tomorrow Land, visitors are taken to the world of monsters in a tram during the course of the ride.
In the film Monsters Inc, monsters generate power from the screams of frightened children in the city ‘Monstropolis‘ while later they generate power using children‘s laughter.

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.
