Many many years ago, they volunteered (or so I heard) to produce a short Saladin video demo, which our dear friends at MDeC raved as Malaysia’s next big project. Many years ago, was more than 10 years ago.
Though I have not heard of Saladin the hero ever since (UPDATE: they have apparently completed the series, but there was no mention of Silver Ant), I was pleasantly surprised by a video teaser on TV today. Silver Ant is alive and kicking, and they have produced a under seafaring story that look strikingly close to Pixar’s Finding Nemo.
Seefood has the look and feel of a Pixar film? Doesn’t matter if they copied any idea from Pixar, because this teaser looks good. Just hope originality will be Silver Ant’s next primary objective.
But for now, it will do.
