‘Little Krishna’, the maiden high-end 3D animated TV Series from BIG Animation, a Reliance Big Entertainment Group Company, is all set to grace the small screen .The 13-episode series is a co-creation between BIG Animation and The Indian Heritage Foundation (promoted by ISKCON Bangalore). The show boasts of world class & never-seen-before quality of animation on Indian TV screens.
Ashish S.K., CEO, BIG Animation, says, “Little Krishna is a fitting tribute to our legendary ‘prank-star’ that not only has a huge fan following within India, but is also extremely popular internationally. We are proud to associate with Nick and we could not have got a better platform for this series in India. The series represents a seamless blend of Global standards of technology with creative excellence. It has the true potential of becoming a turning point for Indian animation industry, in earning the patronage of International buyers.”
Each episode delivers 23 minutes of enthralling
entertainment, showcasing an amalgamation of both, the lighter humorous
antics of Krishna as well as his prowess as a warrior. Using the
traditional tales of Krishna’s childhood adventures as a foundation for
morally inspiring children’s entertainment, the tonality of the stories
is light-hearted, energetic and gripping.
Under the able
leadership of Prafull Gade (Associate Producer), who diligently married
economics with creativity and Ravi Mahapatro (Line Producer) who was
responsible for managing the day-to-day operations, the series was
scripted by Emmy Award ® winner Jeffrey Scott, directed by Vincent
Edwards and R. Balasubramaniam, and the music was given by J.V
Varaprasad.
Adds Nina Elavia Jaipuria, Sr. VP & GM – Nick India, “Nick’s biggest strength is its endearing characters that have created a lasting bond with kids. We have been looking for the right local animation show over the last 2 years and our search has now ended with Little Krishna. Through naughtiness and magical powers, the series has the potential to engage kids not only through world class animation, but also a compelling narrative. Kudos to BIG Animation, for finally taking the local Indian animation, to international standards. ”
Chanchalapathi Dasa, Vice Chairman, The India Heritage Foundation, says, “Krishna is one of the most enchanting and captivating characters out of the Indian heritage. Our involvement in the research corroborated the authenticity and selection of some of the most interesting stories. The objective was not to develop ‘yet another content’ around Krishna, but to serve the audience with a masterpiece which was historically correct and authentic. At the same time we also wanted the kids to enjoy the series. Interesting stories of Krishna in his younger days allow the kids to form an immediate association with our legendary character”
One of the leading and fastest growing animation studios in India, BIG Animation has established and tested pipelines for Design & Pre-production, 2D, 3D and Post-Production. With one of the finest IT backend setup, running on AMD Opteron 64 Bit Quad Core Processors and Foundry Big Iron RX laying the bedrock for its network, the studio boasts of infrastructure, technology and creativity that matches Global standards of deliveries. With the right blend of expertise in traditional as well as modern technical skills and exceptional artistic and managerial abilities, the studio is creating the next-generation animation, from ‘ideation-to-script’, and ‘script-to screen’, all under one roof.
The studio team has no doubt that ‘Little Krishna’ will emerge as a beacon which shall throw its light to embellish the Indian content in the Global market and shall leave an indelible impression in the minds of the Global audience. In the endeavors to establish Indian Animation’s footprint in the Global markets, the journey for BIG Animation, and stylized Indian animation, has just begun.

My Dear Caruhasa das;
Please accept my blessings. I have received your letter undated and
also seen the picture book. You should know it that Krsna is not a
plaything. These things should strictly not be done.* If you do this,
then Krsna will become a fairy tale. Please drop this matter.
I hope this meets you in good health.
Your ever well wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

*About trying to have karmis make a movie on Krsna Book.
Right on July9th! So few can SEERCB
Krsna as a plaything/cartoon and Krsna seriously depicted on film is not exactly the same thing.Plus one side of the case is archived as a letter and the other is a memory(easily mistaken). The letter in question and the subject would appear to be applicable for all and not just this one devotee.I think opinion on this(letter vs. memory) would be good.Hare KrsnaRCB
Hare Krsna Pratyatosa dasI personally hold no stock in karmi's opinions on Krsna conscious standards.

What is the point of this discussion. Is it expected to influence Caruhasa Das somehow? Are you planning to contact him and exert some move him to abandon the project because some dispute it's value or bonafides? Much like some did with the devotees in the archives? Just asking. PSent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
Are these letters relating exclusively to cartoon characterizations or all filming, live action or not?
Dear Pratyatosa Prabhu PAMHO AGTSP Hare Krsna My reason for asking for the "point" in this discussion is that any such venture as the one cited below - or any by Caru Hasa et al - have been heavily invested in with both labor and money and any discussion by those not directly connected with the projects - would be viewed more than likely as nothing less than annoyance at this stage of their development. Would it not be best to just leave it all alone since what has been produced will find its way and be whatever it will be? Were you yourself or anyone in this forum to embark upon any such project - no doubt - you might invoke the suggestions or counsel of anyone you saw as helpful. But since it is probably not in the realm of anyone's capacity or inclination within this group to take up such a project - then why imagine that what this group or that group IS in fact doing - and paying for in labor and money - is anyone's concern but for the men and women so engaged? I offered the example of the archives and all the commotion stirred up by Bhakta Phillip, Rocan Das and all the banter generated by it all within this forum and elsewhere. At the end of the day - the archives devotees are simply moving forward at the same pace as they were - with the same determination to accomplish the task "at hand" with the resources, money, talent and labor available to them and not a single word expressed or written by anyone - anywhere - has had - nor could have - the slightest impact on their program. They are to this very day - doing exactly what they were doing prior to all the commotion and have no reason or capacity to do otherwise. The internet often provides us an illusion of connection to the real world that is quite convincing - but in the end - it is just a means to communicate and the means itself - is never the end nor capable of accessing the end. Even if you were to find Caru Hasa's email address - do you imagine that he has not deeply considered every word Srila Prabhupada told him on this subject matter that appears to have informed his deepest desires to serve Krsna and Prabhupada from day one? I am loath to imagine that he has done otherwise. Troubling oneself with this and similar issues appears - at least to myself - to simply generate distraction from the real opportunities to be and share KC all around us - whilst we concern ourselves with what OTHERS are or IN OUR OPINION ONLY - are not doing correctly. This was the reason for my saying what I did prabhu. If you recall - in the aftermath of all the back and forth generated IN THIS FORUM on the subject of the archives - some of its members actually and by incremental steps - actually descended into the strangest quarrels; all of which had literaly nothing to do with the archives etc. I can see this subject matter - "what Caru Hasa should be doing" devolving quickly in the same way. Just my opinion though. Respectfully Praghosa --- On Sun, 4/25/10, Pratyatosa <praty...@gmail.com> wrote: |

I have just watched the clip ..
It is very well done, also... "Little Krishna is an exciting new 3D
"You can take a look at the full episode "Deadly Donkey", aka
Denukasura, 22 minutes, online:
http://www.evergreenentertainment.tv/projects.php#movie30
(click "view clip" in the 7th line) "
animation" .. So it is also very up to date to say the least.
I was staying in the Bangalore guest house in 2002. When the
construction of the studio was taking place. Unfortunately I was
staying in the floor below the studio construction site which was on
the top floor. The construction work was continual 24/7 and the
constant noise was a disturbance. However the memory of that
disturbance has been mitigated by seeing some of the the fruits which
are being produced from the now finished studio.
You quoted and then interpeted/interpolated. Thus your mistake. I
carefully dissected the anatomy of your mistake on the thread in
question to illustrate your error in a post at 6:03pm. I won't
discuss your Deity worship mistake anymore under this topic.
Moderator Prabhu, if you had read what I wrote, you would have seen
that I stated I would not discuss this anymore under this topic, and
referred him to my answer on the proper thread.
Wish I had a faster connection. I would love to see them myself.
Haribol dear Pratyatosa Prabhu,
all glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Thanks for your kind welcome.
DVD 1 is 1:24h, DVD 2 is 1:20h and DVD 3 is 1:34h long.
I am downloading another one right now. So far, I've downloaded 5 out of 12 files.
Not only fascinating, but very impressive!

Before you can play them, you have to download all 4 files and then use FFSJ-Lite to join them into one big (336MB) .avi file.
