HA NOI — The first four episodes of the cartoon series Monta Trong Dai Ngan Ha Ki Cuc (Monta in a Weird Galaxy) will air on YouTube Sunday.
The cartoon is the brainchild of 70 painters and features the adventures of a monkey named Monta and his friends. It is the first made-in-Viet Nam cartoon using an international style with eye-catching images and characters.
Its theme song Hey Monta by composer Pham Toan Thang will be also featured. With simple lyrics, happy melodies and the sweet voice of singer Duc Phuc, the song is sure to be a hit with kids.
Three episodes of Monta in a Weird Galaxy premiered in cinemas in August this year.
The idea for the cartoon came from the team behind The Whale Hunters, which included Nguyen Hoang Vu (1993), Luong Vo Thanh Luan (1988), Sy Huu Vinh (1988) and Duong Minh Loc (1988). The team won first prize in screenwriting contest The Wanted Writer launched by Vintata last year.
The screenplay was developed by Jeffrey Scott, who has been nominated for five Emmy Awards.
Nearly 70 artists have worked for six months at a pace of 7,200 pictures per week for the three episodes, which is a record for Viet Nam. — VNS
