ApplaToon has launched ‘Kiya & Kayaan’, a vibrant animated series now streaming on YouTube under the ACK Junior banner. Inspired by Amar Chitra Katha’s celebrated storytelling legacy, this fresh digital offering is packed with colour, culture, and creativity — tailor-made for the next generation of Indian viewers.

The series follows the imaginative adventures of two spirited siblings — ‘Kiya and Kayaan’ as they journey through fantastical worlds, learning life lessons while solving everyday challenges. With themes revolving around friendship, family, self-discovery, and Indian heritage, ‘Kiya & Kayaan’ brings together moral storytelling and contemporary animation to make learning fun and immersive, IANS reported from New Delhi.

ApplaToon, a joint animation venture by Applause Entertainment and ACK Media, is determined to bring high-quality, culturally rooted Indian animation to global platforms.

This new show is a bold step in that direction. The series fuses engaging visuals, memorable characters, and rich Indian narratives to offer kids an alternative to global content — all while keeping it accessible and entertaining.

ACK Junior, Amar Chitra Katha’s kids-first initiative, aims to nurture curiosity and creativity through digital-first storytelling. With ‘Kiya & Kayaan’, it continues its mission of transforming legendary tales and relatable characters into exciting modern formats. The series is designed especially for early learners and school-goers who want to explore stories that reflect their world — complete with local festivals, classroom drama, and sibling bonding.

Streaming free on YouTube, the show leverages the platform’s reach to connect with young audiences across India and beyond. The first episodes are already live and have started receiving praise for their vibrant storytelling, animation quality, and culturally resonant themes.

The makers have also hinted at a long-term roadmap for ‘Kiya & Kayaan’, which may include games, activity books, regional language dubs, and cross-platform extensions. Given the rising demand for safe, engaging, and educational content for children, this launch is being seen as a timely entry into a space that’s ripe for innovation and growth.

In a world dominated by global animation giants, ‘Kiya & Kayaan’ brings homegrown imagination to the forefront. With ApplaToon’s creative push and ACK Junior’s storytelling legacy, this animated series is set to become a staple in the digital lives of Indian kids.
