Animation, the market of the future
Children and adolescents are the nominal audience of animations, but the number of adults who follow these works is probably greater than that of children. Rango, Frozen, Shrek, Kung Fu Panda and many other Western animations have conquered billion-dollar peaks (read: several tens of thousands of billion tomans), and this shows the very large global market for these works.
Iranian young people who probably remember Kolah Ghermezi and Madreseh-ye Mushha as animation or cartoon have now taken the initiative and make computer animations.
This chart shows the highest-grossing animations of each year in Iran. The strong sales of these animations show how prominent a role they will have in the future of Iranian cinema.
This chart well illustrates the large animation market. Iranian animations have been very well received at home and abroad in these few years; for example, Filshah, with 8 billion in sales, is the 9th highest-grossing film of year 97 (2018/19)!
Do you think a day will come when an Iranian animation has a worthy theatrical release in the global market?
