KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 16 — The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation will continue to support local companies which have excelled in producing animated films of a global standard. “The government’s continued support through MDEC to Les’ Copaque and animated films such as ‘Agent Ali’ and ‘BoBoiBoy: The Movie’, is in line with the policy to support the local animation industry, which also contributes to the country’s digital economy,” she said in a statement today.
Surina said MDEC was proud of the outstanding achievement of the local animation, explaining that although it failed to be in the final five for the Oscars, it paved the way for local animations when it became the nation’s first animated film to have been nominated for the prestigious award.
