Asia’s Animation Revolution Drives Upbeat Outlook


The animation industry in Asia has expanded significantly in recent years and has a key role to play in boosting the entertainment sector.

Mia Angelia Santosa, chief of staff of Visinema Group, presented the Indonesian animation “Jumbo” which is coming to cinemas in two weeks after five years in the making. She said a lot of hopes in the industry were banking on the toon, which is helmed by Ryan Adriandhy and features the voice of Prince Poetiray as Don, a boy who attempts to stage a play in a local talent show. Indonesia and other Southeast Asian studios are particularly benefitting from this rising demand since they can offer high-quality products with much lower labor costs than places like Japan and South Korea.
