Waiting for `Hanuman'

`Hanuman' release today

Children in the city are eagerly awaiting the worldwide release of the animation film `Hanuman' on Friday, the promos of which have been flashing on the television screens for the past several days.

The 90-minute production of Sahara One and Silvertoon has officially entered the Limca Book of Records as India's first ever full-length animation feature film. Directed by V.G. Samant, the national award-winning animator and former head of animation division of Films Division, Pune, the movie promises to be a classic like `Lion King' and has a cache of songs and some excellent animation.

Hanuman has piqued the imagination of animators earlier also and the city-based animation firm, Toonz Animation, too had earlier launched a project to feature a 13-episode television series of this mythical superhero.

According to the promos, the exploits of baby Hanuman, a mischief maker and miracle-worker, forms a chunk of the movie, while the rest deals with his journey into adulthood as the ultimate warrior-disciple of Prince Ram. The movie has been dubbed in both Hindi and English.
