Denver – November 20, 2025 – Milo Productions Inc., the creator of Muslim Kids TV, the first and largest streaming service for Muslim children, and Fathom Entertainment, the leading specialty distributor of content to theatrical partners worldwide will bring the highly-anticipated new feature film Time Hoppers: The Silk Road, adapted from the popular mobile game and upcoming animated streaming series on Muslim Kids TV, to theatres nationwide on February 7-8, 2026.
Time Hoppers: The Silk Road marks Milo Productions’ inaugural feature film and represents the first-ever Muslim animation property to receive a nationwide theatrical release. “Time Hoppers” is expected to premiere on Muslim Kids TV in 2026 on the fast-growing streaming video subscription service.
Set against the historic backdrop of the Silk Road, Time Hoppers: The Silk Road honors the rich heritage of Muslim culture during the “Golden Age of Islam.” Time Hoppers highlights remarkable Muslim thinkers whose contributions have shaped our world, including Al-Khwarizmi, the father of algebra; Ibn Al-Haytham, the pioneer of optics; Maryam Al-Astrolabi, the groundbreaking astronomer; and Mansa Musa, the tremendous patron of science, education, and arts.

Bringing authenticity to the heart of the project, Time Hoppers: The Silk Road features the voices of prominent Muslim-American academics and community members, including Omar Suleiman, Dalia Mogahed, and Omar Regan (Rush Hour 2, Five Thirteen). The diverse team of Muslim artists, educators, and storytellers on the feature film is part of the landmark, industry-first project and reflects a growing movement to elevate Muslim creativity on the global stage.
“Our partnership with Fathom marks a momentous milestone for Muslim storytellers,” said Milo Productions CEO, Michael Milo. “This film is the realization of a decade-long dream—to give our community the opportunity to see themselves and our shared histories reflected on the big screen. The US release is following a highly successful theatrical run across the Middle East and Africa in early November 2025, where we saw the enthusiastic response from children and families, especially Muslim kids who were thrilled to see heroes who look like them. We hope Time Hoppers: The Silk Road paves the way for more Muslim voices to be seen and heard in cinemas worldwide, and we’re grateful for partners like Fathom whose remarkable work continues to bring diverse stories to audiences everywhere.”
“Fathom Entertainment is very proud to partner with Milo Productions and make history in bringing to U.S. theatres, Time Hoppers: The Silk Road, an authentic, family-friendly Muslim-American themed animated film from Muslim-American content creators,” said Ray Nutt, Fathom Entertainment Chief Executive Officer. “With a growing population of approximately 4.5 million nationwide by some estimates, Muslim-Americans are an important, but underrepresented part of our country’s melting pot of culture and faith.
Nutt continued, “With Time Hoppers: The Silk Road, Fathom Entertainment sees a tremendous marketplace opportunity to build on its leadership position in the faith space and continue its historical success in identifying quality family-friendly content that resonates with specific audiences. Fathom is thrilled to partner with Milo Productions, on Time Hoppers: The Silk Road, created by impressive talents in the Muslim-American community.”
Time Hoppers: The Silk Road will also offer exclusive bonus behind-the-scenes footage, offering audiences a rare glimpse into the journey that allowed them to bring this project to life.
Tickets for Time Hoppers: The Silk Road will be available on January 9 at Fathom Entertainment and participating theatre box offices (theatre locations are subject to change). Fans can sign up now for more information and to be among the first notified when tickets go on sale.
More on Time Hoppers: The Silk Road
In 2050, a prestigious school for the gifted known as Aqli Academy accepts its newest student — 12-year-old Layla.
Following a raid by the shadowy Zoola, Inc. at Layla’s home, she and her father Habib are forced to relocate to Aqli, where they take on secret identities. Upon arrival at Aqli, Layla reunites with Khalid, her cousin. She also makes two new friends: Aysha and Abdullah. The four are recruited by Dean Hafsa (also Habib’s sister) to participate in a secret project to record data from Aqli’s time travel drones.
In an accident in the lab, the children are thrust back in time, landing in 825 Baghdad at the House of Wisdom. In a terrible twist, the children inadvertently provoke an aggrieved alchemist named Fasid who has just been expelled from the House of Wisdom. Fasid acquires time travel abilities from the children, vowing to destroy the history of science.
The four children become “Time Hoppers,” attempting to foil Fasid’s evil design — jumping through time and the amazing places along the historic Silk Road to save the heroes that gave the world modern science.
