Well if you know me from the Ultimus days, and you hear “Saladin” from me, the first thing you gonna catch will probably be “Call of Duty”
but naaa, this post isn’t about that. Its new & different.
This time its an animated series on Salah-ud-Din Ayubi. Its named Saladin : The Animated Series and is produced by Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) in Malaysia. I have seen only the first episode yet, and I found it quite amusing. I think its worth watching the whole series. And its a good initiative as well, remembering our heroes. We do need a lot of such works to get our heroes to our children’s minds.
About Saladin: The Animated Series Wikipedia says:
“Saladin is be a 13-part animated TV series. Production started in May 2004 and a six-minute trailer was previewed during the Multimedia Super Corridor’s 10th Anniversary celebration in April 2005. The first (new) episode will air in late 2009.”
