HISTORY & FUTURE

OF INDIAN ANIMATION

The first film by the Indian Animation Industry was produced in 1957!! Yes, even before the Indian Market introduced the color television! ‘The Banyan Deer’ (1957) was made by a group of Indian animators under the guidance of Disney Animator Clair Weeks, who had worked on ‘Bambi’ (1942) and was on a mission to establish and train India’s first animation studio as part of the American Technical Cooperation mission.

Out of this group, 2 people went on to be animation pioneers in India. Ram Mohan, known as the veteran in the Indian animation industry today, worked as an animator till the late 1960’s, thereafter , es tabl i shing a production of his own in 1972. Bhimsain Khurana, known as the father of Indian animation, became independent in 1971 and made another animated film ‘Ek Anek aur Ekta’ (1974), which was the first animation film aired on the famous local channel, Doordarshan. His son Kireet Khurana would go on to walk in his father’s footsteps.

Most animated series and short movies in the 1980’s were dedicated to teaching lessons mainly to the

younger generation. The Hindi version, of Aesop’s Fables, was one of them. Children love cartoons, and this seemed the best way to get through to them in an educational way. Some folk tales in the form of short films were also transformed into animations for entertainment purpose. Animated characters along side actors, was first seen in the movie ‘Raja Chinna Roja’ (1989). A director ’s wish took animation to the

next level. Bringing actors into the animation world not only entertained kids but also got the older generation intrigued. Later on, actors started voicing cartoons in the late 1990’s. Initially, car toons were dubbed by non-actors but soon a new trend hit the market where actors were lending their voices to dub m a n y c a r t

o o n cha ra c t e r s . Thi s i s probably as India is obsessed with the Bollywood film industry, because the actor is known, these cartoons are also enjoyed by adults. Yes! It is all about knowing your audience and making them grow. Another advantage is that the dubbing, of national and international animated films, had created a notable scope of employment for Indian mimicry artists.

In 2010, the Indian animation industry was expected to

to produce a lot of local animated content in the Indian market. Most of the shows watched by children are either from America or Japan and only dubbed in India. Skilled labor in this industry is in plenty but professionalism has yet to hit us. Today, animation has found itself expressive and communicative in various fields like e-education, medical/mechanical information, architecture visualization, web designing

be worth 2.5 billion dollars! And it was predicted that it will grow by 23% in the next four years. The three main factors that were to push animation in India to grow were low cost of production, highly skilled labor and of course, the government’s support in producing original content locally. But because there are no tax breaks or subsidies by the government with regards to this industry, it is impossible

and various segments of enter tainment such as TV broadcast, animated movies, cartoons, computer games, directto-DVD and VFX. Many of these are now being done with the help of computer animation where animated images are generated by using computer graphics.
