Selected Media Comments...

"Animation magic of Manick Sorcar...Manick Sorcar hypnotizes the press with his animation "The Woodcutter's Daughter"... There is a gold mine of fairy tales scattered all over our country, by transferring those onto screen Manick Sorcar honored our country, particularly the State of Bengal"

-Aaj Kaal, June10, 1999

"A return to roots....The real significance of Sorcar's work lies in a kind of two-way traffic. While the producer-director himself returns again and again to his roots to rediscover the Indian tradition of literature and lore, his work takes a little of Bengal to different parts of America and Europe. All his animation films are based on Indian fables but present the skill and sensitivity that make them acceptable abroad."

-The Statesman, June 25, 1999

"Animation wand! He has arrived in the city, not with his father's magic wand but with a new wonder in his pouch!"

-The Times of India, June 7, 1999

"Manick Sorcar, the animation magician"

-Ganashakti, June 13, 1999

"Manick Sorcar- the engineer outside and artist inside.....extraordinary scenery and ambiance, together with skillfully combined animation and live action are simply superb".

-Cold Field Times, June 14-20, 1999

"The PC magic. He, too, is a P.C. But Prafulla Chandra is not a sorcerer in the mold of his legendary father Protul....Still, if there is a Sorcar around, there must be magic in the air. So Prafulla Sorcar, known as "Manick" to friends, put the family wand in the closet and picked up a mouse - the kind a computer entails- and started making his own brand of magic"

-Ganashakti, June 13, 1999
