EK ANEK AUR EKTHA - the first and the best

The "ek anek aur ekta", the first small step of india to cartoons. Though the giant leap is yet to come, "ek anek aur ekta" is a must see for animation aspirants as well as all the indians.

The animation is quite straight forward, a sister teaches her brother the strength of unity.

Directed by Vijaya Mulay and released by Films Division of India (Government of India),the show first aired on Doordarshan.Thanks to their hardworks, the show quickly got to the children(i suppose that time would be when my father was a kid).This  1974-animated show was animated by bhimsain* using traditional 2d techniques.the details were very beautiful and presents a natural indian style drawing.For a hand-drawn animation,it was pretty fluid(considering the time ),way better than some currently aired indian animations.

note:thanks to  shantanuy for uploading this video.(when i was born,dooradarsan was pretty much dead,).

Wishing a hopeful future-the intro

I've spent most of my precious time watching cartoons and i was waiting for india to come into the bigstage.(SOMETHING so similiar to our south-eat asian neighbours).
Practicaly drooling over anime,i thought....MAY BE INDIA CAN DO THIS TOO.....

leaving hopes aside, can i ever see from India that's not from mythology?
Then i thought," what could be the reason for the absence of a good full length feature film from India"?

Upon further searching the net, i found archives of D'source and there, i learned about a lot of talented Indian animators.It is that feature films needs a lot of budget and lack of  more skilled animators.(a full length feature animation is always hardwork of many animators).

I wish india can overcome this in future.i'm starting this blog to write some points on
indian ANIMATION,animation concepts and some related topics.Also i'll be adding something of my own...
