Talking about animation, Disney's and Japanese anime will be the first which come out in our heads. Those animations are from foreign but have many big fans in Indonesia.

Kemal Hassan, manager of UMN Pictures, said that Candy Monster production process took up to two years, from 2017 to 2019. The long production time was due to several obstacles. However, the hard work for two years is finally paid off. Candy Monster was screened at the international movie festival. Candy Monster successfully passed the selection of the international animated short movie competition at the 60th Zlin Film Festival for the children's category.
The Zlin Film Festival is one of the largest festivals for children and youth in Europe. Of course, our film passed because Candy Monster talks about children's issues, so it relates to the festival theme.
Kuku Rock You
In the midst of the onslaught of foreign animated movies, Kuku Rock You made an achievement. The quality of this movie could be compared with foreign movie as this won in the Asiagraph competition in 2008 in Japan, which is the center of animation movie industry, and had aired on a private television station ahead of Shaun The Sheep, but was unfortunately discontinued.
