"It is a moment of great pride that one of Turner kids' "Desi Toons" ' "Tripura ' The three cities of Maya' won this industry accolade. It was developed as part of our over arching "Desi Toons" strategy which is focused on promoting and developing homegrown animation. It is also an example of a great strategic partnership with ACK, to bring the entertainer of generations, the tales of Amar Chitra Katha, to life on Cartoon Network. The creative teams across have done a fabulous job on giving the feature a fresh new look and the results are here for us to see" said, Mark Eyers, Chief Content Officer, Turner Broadcasting Systems, Asia Pacific.
Samir Patil, CEO, ACK Media, said, "We are very delighted at "Tripura- The three cities of Maya' winning the best animated film at the FICCI BAF Awards. Our partnership with Cartoon Network in reinventing Amar Chitra Katha for today's audience in an animation avatar with a new look, has reaped great results. "Tripura - The three cities of Maya' is important for us not only because we created a nuanced tale that we hope can keep both parents and kids interested but also because it is the first of the ACK films that we have developed with Cartoon Network."
Chetan Sharma, Director, Animagic Studios, said "Winning at FICCI BAF has come as a huge validation of our convictions. Both Turner and ACK had the faith in our vision and provided us with the freedom to assert our ideas! It was a positively forward looking step for creating original animation from India"
