TEHRAN, April 16 (MNA) � The director of animation series �The Tales of Mubarak� has announced launching of the series to be serialized in Iran�s state TV children�s channel Pouya.
Mehdi Khorramian the director of the series told Mehr News that �The Tales of Mubarak� would be produced in 26 episodes of 10 minutes each. �The work has 12 characters, with Mubarak himself as the main character,� he added.

�The character developed according to tales in Saadi�s Golestan and other poets has been updated,� Khorramian said, and that �Masoud Alamdari wrote the scenario for the series.�

 



 

He lamented the neglect by the public of this traditional Iranian puppet character. �As Mubarak has been registered as an Iranian intellectual heritage, the series sought to depict it in picture, since I believe, this character has fallen to oblivion, and nowadays children do not know Mubarak,� he said.

Khorramian also said that they opted for a puppet show in a more modern manner and which would attract the eyes of the audience. �The preliminary work lasted 2 years. Now we are designing the puppets, and probably the main work would be launched in next 2 months,� he added.

 



 

He predicted that the photography and making of the series would last a year and half.

Some of the production crew are Saeed Ghanizadeh as designer, Maryam Zeinalzadeh as puppet maker, Omid Pilaram as photography and lighting, Mohammad Heidari as d�cor designer, and Mehdi Khorramian as director and producer.
