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,).
