The film JUMBO is very suitable for all ages because it contains many good values. The messages and values in this film are not only for children but also applicable to parents.

"This work of ours is for us, for our children, and for the children within ourselves because one thing we sometimes forget is to learn to listen. We listen to answer, but we forget when we can listen to understand. That is one of the values we want to highlight in the film JUMBO," said Anggia Kharisma in the Senayan area, South Jakarta, Wednesday (12/02/2025).

The production process of the animated film JUMBO is very lengthy due to various challenges. The making of this film started in late 2019 and was completed this year. Ryan Adriandhy explained the challenges they faced when creating an animated film.

"If it's live action, it's about recording, so the people are already there, the world is already there, while animation starts from nothing at all and has to be created. This means that if you record one second, you get a one-second video, while in animation, to create one second of film, you need to create 24 frames, which takes time. In addition, we have to create storyboard sketches, design the world, concept art, and fill it with sound, so the process is very layered," said Ryan Adriandhy.

Bunga Citra Lestari is one of the voice actors in this animated film. Bunga shared that she was moved and felt proud of the film JUMBO.

"I was contacted by Anggia, there is an animated film and I became Don's mother. At that time, I listened to the outline of the story and I thought it was a good story, valuable and beautiful. However, what I didn't expect was that when I recorded my voice and saw just a little bit, I cried because there was perhaps a sense of pride, wow, a child of the nation created something like this," said Bunga.

In addition to Bunga Citra Lestari, the voice actors in this film include Ariel Noah, Cinta Laura Kiehl, Angga Yunanda Ariyo Wahab, Ratna Riantiarno, Prince Poetiray, Quinn Salman, Graciella Abigail, M. Adhiyat, Yusuf Ozka, and Den Bagus Sasono.

The animated film JUMBO will soon be released in Indonesian theaters during Eid 2025. Anggia Kharisma, as the producer, hopes that this film can be an interesting way to gather and discuss with family.

"The hope is not only for the warmth and excitement of this film but to become something interesting for gathering and discussing with family in any form. Because sometimes we forget our presence as parents for our children to educate them to become better parents themselves," said Anggia Kharisma.
