19: State of animation in India with Vaibhav Kumaresh

Today I have Vaibhav Kumaresh with us on Audiogyan. Vaibhav is an animator; the creator of the timeless animated angry maths teacher Simpoo, the cheerful Chulbuli and the amazing Amaron claymation commercials . The founder of Vaibhav Studios along with few of his power packed team members have been successfully producing some interesting Indian animation. 1\. Can you tell us history of animation films in India? How long we have been doing this commercially? 2\. Why is animation dominantly perceived as children’s thing? 3\. Inspite of us, Indians having a strong tradition of story telling, do you think we are trapped inn this narrow view of animation? If yes why? 4\. How do you see future of animation in India. What can we expect in the next 2 decades?
