Big Buck Bunny is far more worthy of an international broadcast.

I'm fully aware that this isn't the place for political discussions, but I really need to correct some of your facts.

"Guess what country used it against civilians in a war that was already won."

War that was already won? Shame you weren't there to let the Japanese know that. If you knew anything about WWII and the Japanese mentality at the time, you would know that they were training women and children to fight to the death once the American forces reached the mainland. This would have resulted in huge casualties on both sides, far exceeding the death toll in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bomb was in fact a necessity that ended up saving thousands of lives in the long run. Read up on history before making uneducated comments.

"I know that everyone has the right to be ignorant, but you seem to abuse that right."

Right back at you.

Back on topic, this is great news for the foundation, as Iran has a history of great independent Cinema.

Hmmm. About time!
World of Warcraft had five million subscribers China, two or three years ago.

When I look at Elephants Dream, I have to marvel at the fact that this was done with Blender version 2.42 !

By comparison, Big Buck Bunny seems underwhelming (forgive me).

That gets a work by Blender to a very large group of people who would not normally see it.

There is Iranian people spread all over the middle east, US and Europe, so that will massively increase the audience for a film created by Blender.

Most Iranians are very poor. Knowledge of Belnder will help some realise they can access free software for there own cartoons, advertising, medical demonstration and to use for teaching, as has alwready been demonostrated on these forums.

Virtually everything that is shown on Iranian TV usually ends up on TV in the entire middle east, parts of Africa and on the European Islamic broadcasts, which incidentially are broadcast by the owners of Fox, the Murdock group.

On a personal note, the film is nothing to do with oil or weaponary, so I don't really think some of the comments above were appropiate.

Humour and laughter is a great way to bring people together and to build bridges between people. Trust me I know, I was raised in Northern Ireland.

I think dubbing it into Chinese and Hindu if you have not already, would be a step towards getting a truly global market.

I personally think that to get compelte workdwide coverage, that dubbing into Chinese, Hindu, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and English, would literally get you a large part of planetary coverage. It would be a true sep towards a truly global market.

Once again, well down Blender people.
