YEREVAN, AUGUST 29, NOYAN TAPAN. At the request of one of its Russian
partners, the Armenian IT company Bi Line has started production
of 15 cartoons based on Russian fairy tales. Each cartoon will last
13 minutes.
The president of Bi Line Hayk Khanjyan told NT correspondent that
the production of the first cartoon has finished and the work on the
second one is underway.
According to him, a few years ago Bi Line released laser discs of
cartoons based on three Armenian fairy tales – dubbed in various
languages.
"Unfortunately, we failed to sell them, and one reason is that
Diasporan Armenians do not trust Armenian products, preferring foreign
ones," Bi Line’s president noted.
He expressed confidence that animation multimedia production is one of
the promising directions of the Armenian IT sector’s development. It
was mentioned that e-content demand is great now, and such production
should exist in Armenia so that trust in the country will form through
the sale of these products and foreigners will recognize the Armenian
culture.
