MUMBAI: Tata Sky has inked a special content alliance with The Walt Disney Company India to bring Disney and its characters on its interactive platform – Actve Stories and Actve Wizkids.
Disney offers Tata Sky subscribers especially children of all age groups stories from fairy tales like Cindrella, Snow White and Winnie the Pooh to the new Disney favourites such as Cars and Lilo & Stitch on Actve Stories. On Actve Stories, children would be able to enjoy a brand new Disney story every day, anytime of the day.
On Actve Wizkids, children can enjoy a wide array of games featuring the most popular Mickey Mouse Tennis Challenge or simply go on a Holiday Hunt with Chip and Dale. Kids will be introduced to fun facts about the Disney stories and characters through interstitial pages on Actve Stories and Actve Wizkids. These pages will offer interesting factoids that will help boost their knowledge i.e. Chip and Dale are known as Tic and Tac in French and the fact that Mickey Mouse gas masks were made in England during World War II to help persuade children to carry them.
