The movie [as of now] seems to be in Hindi - sorry non-Indian folks.Disney sure loves to buy companies. They own Pixar, they own Marvel and earlier this year they bought UTV, one of the largest media companies in India. A trailer for the first film under this new regime, Arjun: The Warrior Prince, has just been released. The film will be released May 25 in India and is “the untold story of India’s greatest warrior.” While the animation isn’t quite up to Disney standards, it’s interesting to see what the Mouse has their finger on in different countries. Check out the trailer after the jump.
Thanks to Cartoon Brew (via Bleeding Cool) for the heads up on this trailer. It’s in Hindi, but there are some rough translations below.
While I don’t exactly have an idea what’s going on specifically, Arjun certainly seems to have a ton of action and beautiful visuals. In some cases, they could be mistaken for classic Disney stuff. In others, such as the hunting scene early on, it looks a layer or two less detailed from the kind of animation we’re used to seeing. The blend of CG elements with animation also isn’t as clean as we usually see in Disney films, which makes sense as the film has been in production for four years, well before Disney took control of UTV. Still, slap some English subtitles on this thing and I’d check it out.
Methinks it will not be a bad idea to dub it in English for non-Indian Hindus.
We can get Julia Roberts to do the voice over for Draupadi...dont know other non-Indian Hindus who may like to be a part of this though.
