The new avatar imparts a more local flavour while retaining the ‘unapologetically fun loving, mischievous and boisterous’ character of the channel.The brand refresh has been three-pronged; replete with a new tagline - Hungama Machaya Kya?, a new on-air look and package, and a fresh interactive feel.Supplementing the new look for the channel is a music video featuring kids in a colourful, playful mood, bringing alive emotions they experience in everyday life. The new tagline is based on a recent survey by the channel where it emerged that there are always a few kids in every group who dictate the action and activities of the flock. Hungama decided to highlight these kids through its tagline while inspiring other children to follow their example and live life to the fullest. ==Current shows== Hungama TV airs popular kids [[anime]] Like [[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]] , [[Doraemon]], and [[Shin-Chan]] which are very popular among kids.

For certain foreign programs that have previously have been dubbed into Hindi, Tamil or Telugu from before, Disney was not able to use the original dubs of some of the programs, such as [[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]] for example, which was originally dubbed by [[Sound & Vision India]] in 2003. Disney could not afford the rights to broadcast the original Hindi dub of that anime on the channel, and also it's due to license rights and market competition. Therefore a new dub was created starting off with re-runs of the anime when it premiered on May 19, 2014. New dubs would have to be created for other foreign content as well, for the same reasons. The true reasons for having to create new dubs of foreign programs in-house, is clearly unknown. However, these examples shown can be a good possibility for the reason. ==Movies== Hungama TV has aired many movies, both anime and live-action, but has repeated only the movies of the popular [[Anime|animes]] [[Doraemon]] and [[Crayon Shin-chan|Shin Chan]] dubbed in [[Hindi]]- ===Doraemon Movies=== *[[Doraemon: Nobita's Little Star Wars|Doraemon in Nobita's Little Space War]](5 December 2010 Hungama TV; 26 December 2010 [[Disney Channel India]]) *[[Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure in the South Seas|Doraemon in Nobita's Great Adventure in the South Seas]](5 June 2011 Disney Channel India; 27 December 2012 Hungama TV) *[[Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops—Winged Angels|Doraemon in Nobita and The Steel Troops - The New Age]](6 October 2011 theaters; 6 May 2012 Disney Channel India; 3 May 2013 Hungama TV) *[[Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur]](27 November 2011 Disney Channel India; 10 January 2013 Hungama TV) *[[Doraemon: Nobita's Dorabian Nights|Doraemon The Movie Nobita's Dorabian Nights]](1 December 2012 Disney Channel India; 9 December 2012 Hungama TV) *[[Doraemon: Nobita's Three Visionary Swordsmen|Doraemon The Movie Nobita's 3 Magical Swordsmen]](23 March 2013 Disney Channel India; 25 July 2013 Hungama TV) *[[Doraemon: Nobita and the Island of Miracles—Animal Adventure|Doraemon The Movie Nobita Aur Jadooi Tapu]](24 May 2013 theaters; 29th June 2013 Disney Channel India; 1st October 2013 Hungama TV) *[[Doraemon: Nobita and the Tin Labyrinth|Doraemon The Movie Nobita Aur Khel Khilona Bhool Bhullaiya]](14 September 2013 Disney Channel India; 12 October 2013 Hungama TV) *[[Doraemon: Nobita and the Kingdom of Clouds|Doraemon The Movie Nobita In Jannat No. 1]](25 January 2014 Disney Channel India; 10 March 2014 Hungama TV) *[[Doraemon: Nobita's the Legend of the Sun King|Doraemon The Movie Ye Bhi Tha Nobita Wo Bhi Tha Nobita-King of the Sun]](28 June 2014 Disney Channel India) *[[Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld|Doraemon The Movie Jadoo Mantar Aur Jahnoom]](9 August 2014 Disney Channel India) ===Shin Chan Movies=== *[[Crayon Shin-chan: The Secret Treasure of Buri Buri Kingdom|Shin Chan in Treasures Of the Buri Buri Kingdom]] (17 October 2009) *[[Crayon Shin-chan: Action Kamen vs Leotard Devil|Shin Chan in Action Kamen vs Higure Rakshas]] (29 August 2010) *[[Crayon Shin-chan: The Storm Called The Jungle|Shinchan in Bungle In The Jungle]] (1 April 2011 theaters; 22 May 2011 TV) *[[Crayon Shin-chan: Adventure in Henderland|Shin Chan Movie: Adventures In Henderland]] (18 December 2011) *[[Crayon Shin-chan: Pursuit of the Balls of Darkness|Shin Chan in Dark Tama-Tama Thrilling Chase]] (June 17, 2012) *[[Crayon Shin-chan: The Storm Called: The Hero of Kinpoko|Shin Chan Movie: The Golden Sword]] (26 January 2013) * [[Crayon Shin-chan: The Storm Called: Operation Golden Spy|Shin Chan Movie: The Spy]] (8 June 2013) *[[Crayon Shin-chan: Super-Dimension!
