My answer to Why are most of the Indian animation movies and series story line is around religious characters? quora.com/Why-are-most-o… #animation #films #movies #cinema #3danimation #religion

Marvel comics was founded in 1939. DC comics was founded in 1934. The character Batman and Joker from DC comics have been produced in so many comics, tv series, movies and 2d animations. Every time it has been produced, the story line and

the character have been through improvisation. The results clearly reflect on the screen in recent DC Movies.

Making a movie in Bollywood is a high risk business due to huge commitments. This is the reason we often seen successful regional movies are

re-shot with improvisation for Indian Global Audience by Bollywood because success lower down the risk on returns and build confidence in investors.

Folk tales have been narrated over ages. Folk character provides an instant clarity around the archetype. The folk story and

character have matured plots. Animation is a team effort. Familiar archetype and stories have less communication gap. This extricate Movie Producer from spending on pre-production to cultivate the environment with role play acting sessions and asset exploration that would be

in case of a new and authentic story. Animation producers are playing it safe by taking small steps of improvisation of a folk tale and folk character, than taking leap of faith and coming up with an authentic story.

Another reason could be that the source of funding is

Religious institution. Religious institutions encompassing around preaching through culture rich folk tales. They would be the obvious choice for Animation Producers to pitch, during the early days of 3d Animation in India. Now a self sustaining ecosystem has

build around it that results in continuing the trend.

The next trend could be exploring Indian Society and slice of life locally.
