Ramayana : The Legend of Prince Rama Movie Story :
The fantastic story of Rama, a young prince who has been banished to the forest by his mother-in-law. He is under the protection of his wife Sita and his brother Lakshman. When a powerful demon king Ravan abducts Sita, Rama reduces into tears and sorrow but he stays strong and fights. He must fight warrior demons, control his sorrow and fight until his wife is free.
Production :
In 1983, while working on “The Ramayana Relics” a documentary film about excavations by Dr. B. B. Lal near Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh (India) Yugo Sako came to know about the story of Ramayana. He liked the story of the Ramayana so much that he researched deeper into the topic and went on to read 10 versions of Ramayana in Japanese. After reading the Ramayana he wanted to adapt it into animation as he didn’t think a live-action movie could capture the true essence of Ramayana,”Because Ram is God, I felt it was best to depict him in animation, rather than by an actor.”Yugo Sako wanted to remain true to the original epic so he came to India and met with scholars, archaeologists, historians and started working out on the details, during this he met Ram Mohan and collaborated with him on the film. Krishna Shah got involved in the production later in 1993.The story was simplified to a great extent in order to appeal to the international audience.A new production studio Nippon Ramayana Film Co. was set up and the principal animation of the film began in 1990 with 450 artists on board.Indian animators guided their Japanese teammates with Indian customs and traditions depicted in the film like how dhotis are worn and how the children receive blessings from their elders.
