Guest guest Posted January 18, 2001 Report Share Posted January 18, 2001 Big players have already launched ambitious home film projects. Pentamedia's Sinbad: Beyond the Veil of Mists has already been screened globally including on the Fox Network, US. Its Pandavas: The Five Warriors, replete with complicated war scenes, is also ready for the theatres. Other films include Ali Baba and Forty Thieves and The Story of Buddha. Silvertoon's 135-minute-long 2D animated feature Hanuman, which is expected to be ready in a couple of months, will be one of the most complex animation films made in India. Crest, which flagged off India's animation industry 15 years ago with the Kawasaki Bajaj "Leopard" ad film, is also making a full-length 3D feature film on the lines of Toy Story and A Bug's Life. Toonz Animation in Thiruvananthapuram is also developing an Indian folklore-based film. Why is it so difficult for Bollywood producers to understand that what Indian audiences truly want to see on screen is their own indigenous culture. There is no dearth of marvelous and profound Hindu folklore, history or literature from all over India to choose. The astounding success of the Mahabharat, Ramayan and other religious teleserials is testament to the audience's interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
