Charlie Chaplin being animated for TV

Mumbai: Legendary comedian and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin is all set to be animated for a kids show on television. Kids channel POGO is all set to reacquaint Gen Y with the iconic comic actor in an animated avatar in their new show 'Chaplin & Co.' to be aired next month.

The show will have Chaplin in his signature look -toothbrush moustache, cane stick and bowler hat - dealing with the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Every little mundane event is transformed into side-splitting hilarity, showing how he deals with an irritable boss, persuades the neighbour that Chaplin's house is not the local garbage dump and tries to shake off a bunch

of over-zealous cops.
