Magic Vessels – Karadi World

Usha Uthup

Description

Muthu, a poor playwright, his wife Chellam and six children live in a banyan tree. Chellam cooks and cleans in other people’s homes while Muthu writes plays and sometimes doesn’t get paid – life is hard for them. One day, Muthu goes in search of a job. He loses his way in the jungle and falls asleep under a tree. What happens then in this story from Tamil Nadu? The Ayyanar style of sculpture from which the illustrations are adapted is rich with colour and form. This animation episode from Karadi Tales is a must watch for your child.
