HANUMAN: Bored of American superhero icons like Superman and Spiderman?
Then Hanuman is here. It is based on the adventures of Hanuman, the hero from the Ramayana.
Hanuman has been created by the Kerala-based animation company, Toonz Animation. Three-year-old Toonz animation was rated by California-based Animation magazine as among the 'Top Ten' in its segment last year.
The Adventures of Hanuman, is shown on Cartoon Network, which has the distribution rights for India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Pakistan.
Toonz also feels that the 13-episode Hanuman series will have an edge as the Hanuman legend is known not just in India, but throughout Asia. In China, he is called Shun Wu Kong, the wind monkey; while in Thailand, he is the central character in Ramakiya, the country's most popular folk tale.
