‘Loupetoo’ has ability to compete internationally: director

Abbas Askari, the director of popular Iranian animation ‘Loupetoo’ has told to the media that the animated piece can compete with foreign animations.

Askari said that when the film could stay at the top of cinema’s box office for over a month, then it has the ability to compete with foreign films.

‘Loupetoo’took near seven years and 30 animators to be ready for screening.

The film’s name is inspired by the word Kermani people of Iran use to refer to handmade toys that mothers used to make for their children in the past.

The animation is about a hospital where Dr. Saeed Kamali treats his mental patients through letting them make toys.

“A person disguised as a patient vandalizes the workshop and causes its closure. The doctor’s son, Ali, tries to help his father to solve the problem,” a synopsis for the film reads.

‘Loupetoo’ previously took part in various festivals in Iran and across the world, including the Universal Kids Film Festival in Turkey.

It was also awarded at the 4th edition of Ahmedabad International Children Film Festival (AICFF) in India.
