Ugandan filmmaker Raymond Malinga, whose work will feature in the upcoming Disney anthology of animated films from across Africa, hopes the project will bring African animation to the world.

“Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire”, a ten-part collection of short animations by makers from six African countries, is set to premiere on the Disney Plus streaming platform later this year.

“The narrative in Africa has been, you just turn on the news, I’m sure it’s something bad,” Malinga toldThe positivity gets lost in the story, Malinga says, and that must be changed.Malinga, 32, who has an animation and visual effects degree from a Malaysian university, started his company, Creatures Animation Studio, in 2015.

His team, which has grown to 10 people over the years, works from a small dark studio, into a makeshift innovation village made of shipping containers sandwiched between the cubicles of other startups. As Malinga’s studio brand and talent pool grows, he said, he is venturing into gaming and also exploring opportunities in virtual and augmented reality.
