Cartoon Network Enterprises, part of the Turner Entertainment group, is to open more branded visitor attractions across Asia Pacific.

The attractions will include family entertainment centres, themed zones and learning spaces and will feature characters from the company's cartoon portfolio - including Ben 10 and The Powerpuff Girls.

The news comes as Cartoon Network Asia Pacific acquired the rights to Chaplin and Co. - a popular animated series created by India-based DQ Entertainment and French company Method Animation.

• The company's Korean arm has partnered with YBM Sisa - which offers English language training in the country - to launch young children's leadership playschools called Learning Tree.

With three currently open in Korea, there are plans to open more than a dozen across the region by the end of 2012. Details: www.turner.com/
