Personally, I don't like the characterization of Hindu divinity as cartoon characters in the sense that they are portrayed as clownish figures. That Hanuman cartoon is a good example of this. However, certain animated films like the Japanese production of Ramayana came out very well.

Bodhiji, would you happen to have any youtube clips of the Krishna animation you mentioned.
Anyway, about epics being translated into film. It should be done in a very cautious way and serious manner. For example, each of the 10 books of the Mahabharata could be made into a film in the scale of LOTR. That would be very nice. But considering things at hand now, I don't think it will happen. Just look at a photo promo of this Mahabharata movie.

Since when did Hindus wear capes? While they're at it, why don't they introduce batman type outer-underwear also? Also saw the trailer for this movie. Volley of arrows scene looks like a total rip-off from 300, Hero, etc. Can't they do anything original?
