Once again, another column devoted to the constantly growing animation industry (and fandom) in India. These stories are culled from the October 2013 posts of India’s online industry newsletter, Animation Xpress<\/em><\/a>. I monitor this site so you don’t have to:<\/p>\n

October 4<\/strong>. Gulliver and the Lilliputs<\/em>, a 72-minute 3D movie, is announced for this December by Chennai-based Pentamedia Graphics. Judging by the two ugly theatrical posters shown with the press release, it will be horrible. Let\u2019s hope that they hearken back to the American animation releases of the 1930s and 1940s, when studios had their best artists work on the movies and assigned their worst artists to do the posters. <\/p>\n\"gulliver-india\"\n

\u201cAnimationXpress.com had a conversation with V.Chandrasekaran, Chief Managing Director of Pentamedia to know more this movie. Please shed light on the story line of Gulliver and Lilliputs?<\/strong>\u2028 This story line is based on the original story written by Jonathan Swift. Lemuel Gulliver is a doctor who longs for adventure. A shipwreck leaves him swept ashore on the land of Lilliput \u2013 inhabited by people no bigger than his finger. Gulliver is taken captive by the Lilliputians who present him before the emperor. A series of interesting events takes place after that.\u2028 Who are the protagonists and antagonists in this movie?<\/strong>\u2028 Gulliver is the protagonist in this film and is having a giant-like appearance of the hero which is unbelievable to the little Lilliputians, who are just six inches tall. Antagonists in this film are Flimnap and Skyresh. Ferocious by look, Skyresh is a magician by nature who always thinks of ways to put an end to Gulliver. Seeking the help of Flimnap \u2013 this Admiral of Lilliput, knots up a plan against Gulliver yet he has no particular reason to hate Gulliver. The emperor is forced to give Death sentence to Gulliver as per the plan hooked up by Skyresh Bolgolam and Flimnap.\u2028 Why did you choose this story line?<\/strong> \u2028We started the work in 2012 and completed the same by mid 2013.Gulliver is quite popular among the teenagers as his story is a part of their English non-detailed in schools. And as such it will be appealing for them to see this Giant hero and the six inch people on screen, that too through the 3D glass. [\u2026] Can you share the key credits of the film?<\/em> \u2028The movie is directed by Anita Udeep, Produced by Pentamedia, Writing was stylized to suit the international audience by the American script writer Alexandria and Music is given by Rob Reich.\u2028 What are your upcoming projects?<\/strong> \u2028Pentamedia has completed the pre-production of another digital 3D animation film \u2018Mustafa Vs The Magician\u2019 and the production is in progress using Blender. This film is expected to be completed in Jan 2014. Pentamedia is coming out with new courses on how to make animated \/ VFX\/ CG films with the features of Pre-production, Production, Post-production, VFX, Marketing and Distribution. Among the trained students, the skilled ones will get an opportunity to work in our current project, \u2018Mustafa Vs the Magician\u2019.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
