2010 – The year Indian Animation proves itself?

Well, out of ALL of the Indian animation features announced to release in 2009, NONE got released.Can’t blame Indian animation for that. 2009 was just BLACK. Period. Projects got postponed, paused or canceled due to the global economic crisis. It was probably the worst year Bollywood ever had – ever.

BUT: The good news is several Indian animation features are NOW – April 2010 – ready for release:

- Kireet Khurana’s TOONPUR KA SUPERHERO (Eros/Climb)

- Chetan Desai’s RAMAYANA (Maya Entertainment Ltd)

- Nikhil Advani’s DELHI SAFARI (Krayon Pictures)

- Arnab Chaudhury’s ARJUN (UTV)

2009 – The Year Indian Animation matured?

2009 will be a year in which not less than 15 (in words: fifteen) Indian full-length animation films are expected to hit the theatres. Since Percept Picture & Sahara One released HANUMAN directed by veteran director V. G. Samant and director Milind Ukey in 2005, not a single great film has followed.
