“Amazon Prime Video India is delighted to partner with Xilam

20 years”, said Nitesh Kripalani, Director and Country Head,
Amazon Video India. “This is an important milestone in the
journey to offering the best kids’ entertainment to our Prime
members.”
"Xilam is proud of the growing success of its animated
characters in India, with Oggy leading the pack for many years now.
As we prepare for the future, and the new ways content is used
within the family, it is essential that we find the right partners

are so thrilled to be entering into this agreement with Amazon
Prime Video since we value so highly their expertise in

First aired in 1998, ‘Oggy & the Cockroaches’ is a French
animated comedy series tracking the prankish misadventures and
confrontations between a chubby cat named Oggy and three pesky
roaches: Joey, Dee Dee and Marky. The fifth season will explore the
ongoing rivalry in a new way by tracking Oggy through the ages for
historical hilarity. Seasons 6 and 7 will comprise a mix of brand
new episodes along with full remakes of classic stories from
Seasons 1 and 2.
‘Zig & Sharko’ is about a hyena named Zig who lives on a
volcano island with his crab pal, Bernie, and plots against a
beautiful mermaid, Marina, whom he wants to eat. Sharko is a shark
with a lot of muscle and who loves to sabotage the hyena’s every
move.
