What are animated movies or film?-

| |-| An animated film is a type of motion picture in which the images are created through animation rather than being recorded live with real actors. Instead of capturing real-life scenes, animated films use drawings, computer graphics, or models to create characters and settings. Key characteristics of animated films: ![Screenshot (66).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmazKVd38zABnf5aSygEFLyLiZm1gFXRWsEgzDUNjqrrGs/Screenshot%20(66).png) Non-live-action: The characters and environments are created by artists or software. Frame-by-frame production: The sequence of images (frames) is displayed rapidly to simulate movement. Stylized visuals: Depending on the style, they can be realistic or cartoonish.

UNICEF undertook a program with the noble aim of raising public awareness about various social inequalities in South Asian countries, focusing on the care and education of children, addressing common misconceptions about children, and eliminating societal prejudices and ignorance. As part of this, UNICEF and donor countries took the initiative to create an awareness-raising animation cartoon series. A new awakening against the prejudices of society was created. The main character of which is a 10–12-year-old girl named Meena. In the early 1990s, a team led by Neil Mackey, Head of UNICEF's Communications Department, created the character of Meena. The famous Indian cartoonist Ram Mohan, Indian Dr. Mira Aghi and a group of smart people from Bangladesh created the historically famous animation series Meena. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_lv-SMvLow ***Meena film on complementary feeding*** >>***Meena Animation Series: -***

UNICEF created this cartoon to enlighten everyone in South Asia with the light of modern education. A great program to create public awareness among everyone was created by a girl named Meena. The awareness created through Meena Animation includes stopping child marriage prevalent in the society, encouraging the construction and use of hygienic toilets, awakening the interest of girls in going to school, giving more importance to education than marriage in the society, stopping the dowry system known as the cancer of the society, the need to provide equal nutrition and opportunities for boys and girls, and various issues related to social and family reforms are included in this animation series. The series gained so much popularity that even today, in some countries of South Asia, Meena Day is celebrated every year on September 24th. The series received a great response from everyone. The common people enjoy the series with great interest and can understand their traditional mistakes. Later, when its demand increased, it was broadcast in English, Bengali, Hindi, Nepali, Urdu, Odia and Dari languages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkUopuFBx3c ***Meena on the rights of children's play***

Which age group prefers the animated film you have seen above and say why?

| |-|

The animated film Meena I saw is an educational film. Although the central character of the film is a girl of 10-12 years old, this film is mainly made to give a correct education to our parents and elders. Through the main character Meena, various prejudices of the society are removed, and the right education is provided. Animation is very dear to children; they like any animation, especially when another child of the same age is seen on the screen. So this animated film has been able to win the hearts of everyone, young and old. And the burning proof of that is that this animated film is dubbed in several languages of South Asia and broadcast on national channels of different countries. The main reason for this choice was that each character of the animated film was simple, all the characters shown in the animated film are familiar to us. We see them around us, so when we see our character on the screen, we can easily adopt him. The animated series gained more popularity due to its excellent presentation. The series did not look at illiteracy or superstition with hatred. Rather, if there was a mistake, it would be corrected with a smile.

It has become normal for Mina's picture to be on the cover page of various school notebooks, for everyone, Mia is the name of an ideal. Mia is the name of a reform; Mia is the name of entertainment. |

Mention the challenges you had to go through while watching animated films. If there are no challenges, then tell us about the things that interested you in the film. I have seen Meena animated many times. There are many episodes of this series. Each episode contains a different educational topic. Sometimes there is an important discussion on sanitation, sometimes there is an educational talk on how to get a proper education, and sometimes animations are shown on the need for children to play. ![Screenshot (70).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmX8Ck3QGBTxGnyGkvtF99pWKPihbnSzvUWtJPLPfC7cnx/Screenshot%20(70).png) In short, each episode of this series contains educational topics. In addition, its simple presentation, its own way of speaking, all seem to be its own. I don't feel like I am watching complicated animations, as if someone is teaching me. I am learning from there. These things are very enjoyable to me, so whenever I watch this series, it doesn't seem old to me. As if I too become a Meena.
