Abstract
This article deals with the animation films being produced
these days in India, mostly portraying mythological
characters like Lord Ganesha, Hanumana, Krishna, Arjuna,
etc. In this age of industrialisation and globalised world,
these characters are put in modern context, i.e., riding a
bike, dressed in modern day clothes, and using modern day
phrases and words in the dialogue. Also different modern
day issues of the society are shown being tackled by the
Gods, like environmental issues, terrorism, unity in
diversity, etc. So these films are putting forward the
modern day issues which are important for the human
existence and societal development among the children
and teenagers who are the future of the world. At the same
time these films reflect and comment on the different sociocultural
issues of present times. While discussing this
aspect of the animation films a background on the
development of this genre is being considered.
