The production of animated films
based on ancient Turkic legends has started in Kazakhstan. There are plans to
release a total of ten cartoons, each with a duration of over five minutes. It
bears noting that the selection of these animated movies was based on the
results of a competition in which 26 animation studios participated by
submitting their applications. In total, 40 scripts were received telling stories
of prominent figures, sacred animals, holidays, and national entertainment of
Turkic-speaking countries.
“The pilot animation projects,
launched into production, differ in both genre and subject matter, with each
one being uniquely distinct. This initiative will not only enhance cooperation among
Turkic-speaking states but also enable Kazakh animation studios to tap into new
markets and expand their audience. Additionally, it marks the first step
towards creating joint animation projects with fraternal countries in the
future,” Serik Abishev, acting President of Kazakhfilm studio, said.
