Animation firm DQ Entertainment has signed a deal with Disney channel for telecast of The Jungle Book in the United States.
This is a first for DQE in the US television market.
The 52-weeks of Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book will now be telecast on the cable and satellite channels beginning June 11.
The story revolves round the man cub Mowgli who was raised in the Indian jungles by a pack of wolves since he was born.
His adventures open out in the forest of Seeonee amid royal forts, temples, waterfalls, the Waigunga river and many other locales.
“Jungle Book has generated interest in Europe for broadcasting and home entertainment. We are working with co-producers Moon Scoop France, ZDF Group Germany and TF1 France for this,” Mr Tapaas Chakravarti Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DQE Group, said.
He said: “We are honoured that The Jungle Book will soon be on Disney channels in USA. We are confident that they will continue to enthral audiences in their new CGI avatars.”
SMC Entertainment, a division of Sun-Mate, has the television, home video, licensing and merchandising rights in North America for The Jungle Book based on an earlier agreement with DQE.
