Ramadan Mubarak

Today is the first day of the Holy Month of Ramadan. I wish all Muslims of the world a happy and blessed month.

Ramadan always has this special thing about it. Other than the spiritual side of it; witnessing more and more Muslims becoming more aware of their religion, and seeing them actually have fun while practicing their religion… there is the social side of Ramadan, since it’s a great chance for us to gather with family members and friends to thank God for his blisses and to have loads and loads of fun while enjoying mouthwatering meals prepared with lots of love, and watching the various TV channels offering different shows from religious, to documentaries, to movies, series, comedies and last but not least cartoons, and 3D animations… MY FAVORITE!
Last year I discovered the first 3D Animation Series in the Gulf, that’s how they call it, although I believe it’s the 1st 3D animated series in the whole Arab World. Anyway, it’s called FREEJ. I fell in love with it from the very first episode I got to watch. It’s AMAZING. This year they’ll be airing season 2, so make sure you wont miss it!

The number of Arabic cartoons and 3D animations is increasing, no doubt about that, and the good news is, each productions is totally different than the other. All are so creative, and all reflect our Arabic communities, way of life, and mentality.
This Ramadan, a lot of new animated series will be offered, I’m looking forward to watch as much as I can, especially a Tunisian animated series called “Al 3eesha Maqrouna”. All I know is that it’s going to be aired on Hannibal TV daily at 20:00.
Another one that looks interesting is a UAE production called: Mizna & Family on MBC.

Anyway, better go rescue whatever it is that Adam’s try to break this time :) Happy Ramadan everyone!
