Nickelodeon India to Premiere 'Munki And Trunk' on Monday 24th December 2018 on Sonic

Nickelodeon Sonic, India's first channel for the action-loving generation, will premiere Munki and Trunk, a brand-new dialogue-free South African CG-animated TV series from Cape Town based animation studio Sunrise Productions, on Monday 24th December 2018 at 4:20pm! The series follows best friends Munki, a bold, banana-juggling adventurer, and Trunk, a big-hearted and optimistic elephant. They do everything together - swinging, stomping and somersaulting as they explore their jungle world, hatching plans, solving problems, having fun and helping friends along the way.


Munki and Trunk (52 x 7’) is a tree-crashing, rock-smashing, water-splashing, fruit-mashing, knock-about comedy adventure for kids aged 4-7 years - and animals of all ages. Munki is a vine-swinging force of nature, hungry for bananas and adventure. Trunk is a big-hearted but crafty elephant who loves to nurture and play. Throughout the series, these unlikely best friends explore their world together, facing fears and helping friends along the way. No matter if they are facing rolling boulders, bouncing mushrooms or grumpy hedgehogs, they do it together giggling all the way. It’s the most fun you can have in the jungle!


Sunrise Productions is the 3D CG company behind the award-winning show Jungle Beat and it is also well-known for creating animated characters for prestigious sports brands such as the Welsh Rugby Union, England Rugby’s Football Union and Juventus Football Club.



Munki and Trunk is distributed worldwide by Aardman Rights, and has been licensed to 75 territories, with deals including Amazon India, moores in China, MBC3 across the Middle East, SVT in Sweden, YLE in Finland, NRK in Norway, ANTV in Indonesia, RSI in Switzerland and LTV in Latvia. The series also airs on Nicktoons Africa, where it debuted in April 2018 as the first South African animation acquisition for the channel.

Alison Taylor, head of sales and acquisitions at Aardman, said: “We are delighted to have had such a positive response to Munki and Trunkin such a short time. It’s heart-warming to know that this charming series will be seen by such a wide audience, and we will look to finalise further licenses following a successful MIPCOM Junior, where potential partners will be able to view the show at the screenings.”

The series made its debut at MIP Junior 2016.
