In one of those idea that seems so obvious in retrospect, Bollywood animation company Dq Entertainment will be producing an initial series of 104 six-minute Charlie Chaplin animated adventures based on his silent movies. "Mr Bean has delighted everyone for a number of years... It's very, very clear that to tickle people's funny bones you don't really have to talk all the time and silent movies can work,” explains Tapaas Chakravarti, chairman of the company. “Chaplin did it for so many years."
Dq have been responsible for a wide range of hit animated series including the Iron Man animated series, The Jungle Book, Lassie, the excellent Tara Duncan as well as series broadly linked to Indian legend such as Omkar, Ravan and Balkand.
India’s growing animation industry is increasingly being used by overseas companies because of its cheap costs and India’s software expertise. Tamaas is confident the Chaplin series will sell worldwide.

Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp, one of cinema's most famous characters, is to become a 3D animated competitor to Mr Bean
Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp character, a true icon of cinema, is to be reborn in the 21st century as a computer-generated 3D avatar.
The absurd figure with the baggy trousers, bowler hat and cane was once the best known silhouette in the world, and is to be introduced to modern audiences in a series of short films following a multi-million-pound deal approved by the Chaplin family.
Almost a hundred years since Chaplin first appeared in front of Hollywood cameras, an Indian-French collaboration has been licensed to make a series of six-minute animated episodes for cinema and TV.
The silent films will be based on 70 original "shorts" that featured Chaplin as the Little Tramp. Visual gags and slapstick choreography from the films will be re-enacted by the new "stereoscopic" avatar,...
