Sniff (Bengali; subtitled in English) is
adapted from Sukumar Ray’s classic poem ‘Gandhabichar’.
It is a story of an era when perfume was still an unknown
object. So when the minister of the king wore some perfume
before the court resumed, he created quite a commotion.
Manick Sorcar is credited for accomplishing several FIRSTS
with this production. Sniff is the FIRST animation that
was created in Bengali language, the FIRST Bengali animation
to ever be shown on Indian television and also the very
FIRST animation from Sukumar Ray's Abol Tabol.
|
Sorcar took the original version of Sukumar Ray's
nonsensical poem and created a screenplay, a storyboard,
which led to the award winning
animation. In 1993, it received the CINE Golden Eagle from Washington D.C.
All of Sorcar’s animated
classics are shown yearly on television in the United
States and popular in schools and libraries. |
