Mumbai / India, 1st March 2025: Today at GAFX 2025, Green Gold Animation Private Limited and UK-based TG Entertainment Limited have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore business opportunities for The Brilliant World of Tom Gates franchise in India. This strategic partnership aims to expand the beloved franchise in the areas of licensing, merchandising, series animation production. Under the MoU, both companies will collaborate to develop market opportunities in India and wider South Asian markets.
At the heart of this success is Tom Gates himself—a doodler extraordinaire, master of making up excuses, and a beloved figure among young readers and viewers worldwide. Since 2011, author and illustrator Liz Pichon has built a phenomenon with 23 award-winning, multi-million-copy-bestselling books and an EPIC award-winning, globally recognized 3-season TV series, plus two holiday specials, all inspiring creativity and fun. Now, expanding beyond screens and pages, Tom Gates is set to captivate live audiences with a stage show launching in the UK in April 2025, touring 45 venues nationwide. With over 16.5 million books sold and 26+ awards, this franchise continues to engage and entertain kids aged 6+, reinforcing its status as a global favorite published by Scholastic UK.
