Premiering on Voot Kids for the 1st time in India, these 21 Pokémon movies is a landmark content initiative to bring anime franchise closer to its fans. Voot Kids is all set to provide an immersive Pokémon experience to its fans in India with 21 global blockbuster movies from Pokémon added to its robust and diverse content library. The hook for this one kind of content initiative in the kids segment spins around “Chuno Voot Kids. Chuno Pokemon” with Voot Kids being confident that every Pokémon fan will choose Voot Kids as its favourite digital destination to enjoy it at their own discretion.
