Excellent animated interpretation of Ramayana
turbanhead says: Cartoonist Nina Paley is slowly turning the narrative of Ramayana (a Hindu Sanskrit epic) into a series of remarkable animations set to a soundtrack of scratchy old 78s. The result is Sita Sings the Blues, a "self-animated, unfunded, destined-to- drive-me-to- the-poorhouse feature-in-progress."
Nina describes the latest chapter, Hanuman Finds Sita: "Gags, gimmicks, AND narrative - hundreds of pages of text crammed into 3 minutes. Plus it contains all 4 main characters: Sita, Rama, Hanuman and Ravana, with extra added bonus demons ... People already familiar with the Ramayana will probably enjoy these musical bits more, but I'm trying to make the story understandable to anyone." Link
UPDATE: Anil Kandangath says: The link you posted to is unavailable since the site is down. However, the torrents for all four parts are available on Sepia Mutiny.
