The broadcasting rights relate to 104 Chaplin and Co episodes, each 6 minutes long and will be broadcast across all of Cartoon Networks Asia Pacific markets in more than 26 countries from early 2012.

DQE, the animation, gaming, live action entertainment production and distribution Company has announced that it has sold the TV broadcast rights for certain Asian territories including India, of the popular animated 3D series Chaplin and Co, to Cartoon Network Asia.

The broadcasting rights relate to 104 Chaplin and Co episodes, each 6 minutes long and will be broadcast across all of Cartoon Networks Asia Pacific markets in more than 26 countries from early 2012.

Chaplin and Co is a co-production between DQE and Method Animation (based in France), and was developed in consultation with the Chaplin family, making the series truly representative of the world-famous screen icon.

Tapaas Chakravarti, Chairman & CEO of DQE said The legend of Charlie Chaplin will be brought back in hi-end animated short films to delight children and families. The legendary entertainer will once again entertain audiences in his new CGI Avatar .We believe Cartoon Network is the perfect partner for Chaplin and Co to bring this side-splitting series to audiences in this region.

Layla Lewis, Director, Programming, Acquisitions & Development, Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific, Inc, said, Chaplin and Co offers a contemporary take on Chaplins timeless humor and endearing charm. We are thrilled to introduce his comedic adventures to a whole new generation of Cartoon Network Asia Pacific fans.

In true Chaplin style, Chaplin and Co are a slapstick comedy without dialogue – reminiscent of his many famous films. Almost a century later, his most enduring traits have been transformed into a side-splittingly funny computer-generated animated series.
