About the Industry:
The animation industry is an art form in which a world of dynamic image and sound may be synthesized completely out of nothing but a thought. The industry in Malaysia only started to grow around 15 years ago. At that time, the Malaysian animation industry was not known to anyone, but today, Malaysian animations like Upin & Ipin and Mustang Mama can be found on channels like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.
