Turkish series are now available on the Russian kids’ TV Channel “Sun”!
This summer, Russian TV Channel “Sun” hosted the exclusive premiere of the popular Turkish animated series “King Shakir”, which follows the adventures of a lion cub and his friends. Behind the absurd humor is a sweet and cheerful family story where both adults and children can see themselves.
Russian TV Channel “Sun” is a channel aimed at children and family programming. It features a variety of animated series, educational content, and entertainment for younger audiences. Turkish animation has become a significant addition to TV Channel Sun’s broadcasting schedule.
“King Shakir” (“Kral Sakir”), consisting of seven seasons, is filled with characters with vibrant personalities, engaging episode plots, and humor that appeals to both children and adults. The series is formatted as a sketch comedy, so you can start watching from any episode.
The story centers around the lion cub Shakir and his unusual family, who demonstrate how wonderful it is to be a child, no matter your age. Shakir’s dad is also a lion, his mom and sister are cats, his grandfather is a turtle, and the family friend is a purple elephant. They love adventures and constantly find themselves in ridiculous yet very funny and captivating situations. For example, they travel through time, journey to different worlds on a giant shawarma, battle a robot uprising, and that’s just a small part of their escapades… Otherwise, Shakir’s family is just like any other. While watching, every dad will recognize himself sneaking to the fridge at night, and every mom will recall moments when her patience runs out and the “siren mode” kicks in due to the household’s antics. Meanwhile, kids will see how a family can have fun in a way that’s not just for kids.
The animated series from Grafi2000 has already won the hearts of many young viewers. It has been broadcast in over 20 countries, reaching millions of children in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
