Right from the style of animation, the lyrics, the music, the little nuances, the film has struck a chord with the target group. We’re happy that the many hours of hard work and fun has resulted in recognition from the industry. We would like to thank the team at Fairy Cows for the brilliant animation and Oxigen for giving us the opportunity.” Says John Francis, Director, Carbon Black Films.
