MUMBAI: After the success of James Cameron’s Avataar, the pace of making 3D stereoscopic films has been growing across the world. In India too, the pace has picked up after audiences took a liking for Vikram Bhatt’s 3D stereoscopic film Haunted.

Among many other filmmakers who have announced 3D films is a group of ten animation enthusiasts hailing from Kozhikode district who are busy making the first stereoscopic 3D animation film in Malayalam.

The one-hour film titled Circus Kaduva, specially meant for children, is being produced under the banner of Carrot Creations. It also sheds light on the importance of protecting the environment.

Said to be the first-of-its-kind venture in the state, the advantage of viewing the animation film is that it can be watched in the normal mini screens and computer monitors using the Red-blue stereoscopic glasses, according to director Razak Vazhiyoram.

The film is being produced using the Maya 3D software. "It is a one-hour film and will generate lot of fun for the children," Vazhiyoram said.

The team is planning to market the film by releasing the home video along with the Red-Blue stereoscopic glasses that will be imported from China
