Trailer of first Bangla 3D animation series for children released

It’s a tough job for a parent to find a suitable online video programme for children, especially in Bangla. Sorry to say, there is not much out there.

Keeping this challenge in mind, a team of creative people came forward to make a 3D animated adventure series in Bangla language exclusively for children, and it is the first of its kind.

And to do it, they are collecting money from people online with an intension to "help children develop critical thinking, empathy and an appreciation for the rich heritage of Bengali culture."

You can enjoy a trailer (embedded above) released this month of the future series titled 'Chacha Bahinir Ajob Kahini'.

Maverick Studios came forward to introduce children classics, including fairytales of Bangla literature to the new generation in the form of an "adventure of a lifetime" with the adventure series.

"... on the wings of Chacha's fascinating stories, Jhumjhumi and Babu travel to a fantastic world of exotic creatures, magical realms and exhilarating conquests," the studio says in its project page.

This very first 3D animated children adventure will be made based on crowd funding in a much bigger platform with a world class quality.

"Be a part of a historic project - the first of its kind 3d animated series in Bangla. Play your part in bringing this series to life!" the makers of the animation said to encourage people to provide them with funds for the first three episodes of the series.

Each of the three episodes will be 10 minutes long.
