Universal Children's Day in Ukraine: UNICEF, FILM.UA Group and Animagrad studio held ANIMADAY for children with disabilities, children-refugees and Kiev schoolchildren

On November 25 UNICEF, FILM.UA Group and Animagrad with the support of the magazine "Your Kid", greeted the children with the Universal Children's Day and the 16th birthday of UNICEF in Ukraine, making a fabulous trip to the magical world of animation. Children not only watched new cartoons, but also looked behind the scenes of animation production, as well as tried their hands in dubbing cartoons.

The celebration began with the premiere of new episodes of the animated series Eskimo Girl. When the children left the room, they met the real Eskimo girl and her friend the Polar Bear!   

"Cooperation with UNICEF has become a good tradition for FILM.UA Group. And we are very glad that these children were the first to see "Eskimo girl". And they loved it", - said Sergey Sozanovsky, FILM.UA Group.

Company Sweet Factory has treated young guests with the most delicious macaroons in Kiev. Our little guests waited an exciting program. Eduard Pristupa regaled children by the pancakes. Then, he  took a guitar and sang a few songs for children. They joyfully sang and danced.

Eduard Pristupa: "I took part in this event because I love children. That's it. And I decided to share with them what I can and love to do: cook and sing".

The host of the event actress Alyona Serdyuk also sang a lot. She sang and danced in a ring together with the children, told them about the secrets of modern animation, carried contests and quizzes. So the day was a success, and kids did not get bored.

Children swirled and danced all time. Even when they are a bit tired, then took up the pencils and participated in a master class of calligraphy — wrote own name on 9 languages​​, including Japanese. Master class was held by Yukie Mokuo, UNICEF representative in Ukraine and her little daughter Pari. 

"Traditionally, UNICEF celebrates its birthday and the World Children's Day together with our main friends - children. It is a holiday that they are looking forward to and we are very grateful to our partners FILM.UA Group, who for the second year open the doors of the studio for children", - said the head of UNICEF, Yukie Mokuo. "Because children's smiles and laughter are the best shots of our lives!".

Everything about dubbing of the cartoons children can learn at the studio TakTreba Production zone. The most active could participate in voice acting, making the first steps in their career as the dubbing actors. A man in a black suit with a lot of lighters and surrounded by cameras seemed very mysterious until the kids came closer. They found out that he is the Motion Capture actor. He living the animation heroes up in the modern 3D-animation. 

More happiness to the children brings the dancing group Master Class. And in the end our little guests got toys of the Eskimo Girl.
