Thanks to the various cartoon channels for telecasting these stories and many more thanks to the animation teams that are working on these. I was watching Sree Krishna animation movie in one of the cartoon channels and the language is soo great that kids can understand them very easily. Mythology which was at one time a boring rather uninteresting stuff for kids, is now made ready made and easy to understand. I was watching it with my Googlee, though he is too small to watch TV continuously I was in love with the movie. He was being fascinated now and then, when he was watching it.
If things are made so easy, why would someone not want it.
