Indian animation has grown in size and production volume over the last few years. One of the most important trends that we see emerging is an effort toward making animation for adults rather than simply narrative fiction for children. India's young animators are creating thought-provoking, mature films on the state of the world around them. Animators are moving from animated shorts to full animation serials, plus a whole range of animated commercials is by now a very important part of the industry.
An interesting phenomenon is also happening -- animation is being handed down from father to son as an art form, comparable, in the Indian tradition, to so many other art forms such as music and theatre.
