Dragon Tales in Hindi was a hit from day one. Though Western cartoons had began dubbing in Hindi way back in the early Nineties, it took a couple of dragons to really get the trend going. If you can do a good voice over, or mimic the voice of a Shah Rukh or a Sunny Deol, why, there is now enough work to keep you busy - and well-heeled. The result: the demand for dubbing artistes has shot through the sky. It's an inspired move, no less, and it's been a great hit with the kids. What's more, many of the characters sound like Bollywood stars - a Shah Ruth Khan, an Akshay Kumar, a Sunny Deol or a Paresh Rawal. So you can watch Penguins of Madagascar in Tamil, or Ninja Hattori in Telugu and numerous others in Hindi. A raft of foreign films and cartoons is being made India-ready - and dubbed in local languages. Needless to say, Indian children are lapping up the antics of Shaun and his flock in their very own desi lingo.īut it's not just Shaun the Sheep.
Shaun and his flock live in Shaunpur, the sheep have such names as Sarju, Birju and Mausi, and they speak in - what else - Hindi.
Shaun the Sheep, the British children's animated television series that has been running since 2007, is now as desi as it gets.
