MANJADI

Manjadi-Twinkle,twinkle...volumes I,II,III and Poopi....

The most popular animation video CD for children in Malayalam has been launched by a group of youngsters under the company name "Hibiscus Design"in 2005. As per their own advertisment, its a "cartoon get together" based on stories from the Panchatantra- the real treasure house for kids and most familiar traditional folk songs. The quality of animation is really admirable. The concept is visualised so beautifully and creatively, that the animated anchor doll "Twinkle"is like a friend to most kids. Reasonably priced at a range of Rs.99 to Rs.199 per disc, they have already completed 3 volumes of Manjadi and another one with "Poopi"the inquisitive dog!@ a CD per year... Even kids at playschool level are so fascinated by these songs, the rhythm and the stories that they are glued to their seats, stuck up for ever...It would be nice if a small printed booklet of the songs in each compilation is also enclosed in this series...
