Major companies like Walt Disney, Imax and Sony are continuously outsourcing cartoon characters and special effects to India that is enjoying its newfound status as a preferred destination for outsourcing thanks to low production costs. In fact it is steadily overtaking the Philippines, Korea and Taipei.
With the big studios having state-of-the-art facilities equipped with SGI, 3DMax and SoftImage, Maya, SFX and processing motion capture facilities in Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and Trivandrum, India is now a global player in this industry. Today there are a number of animation training studios in Mumbai and students have plenty to choose from.
Hanuman, a 2D animation movie, was a major success in the country. However, the honour of being the first animated film in India goes to Ashok Kaul's Bhaggmati: The Queen of Fortunes (2005). Hanuman's success story lies, perhaps in its simple storyline. The film traces the journey of this mythical God — superhero, from his days as a cute miracle-working baby to his ultimate triumph in the army of Lord Ram.
