The Adventures of Tenali Raman
This is just weird.
My in-laws returned from a visit to the homeland with two DVDs for the kids. One was animated tales from the Panchatantra. Scared the shit out of the Drama Queen. And me, too.
The second one, she's kind of into. It's called The Adventures of Tenali Raman. And it's weird. Weird in so many different ways.
Not the least of which is that the lead character bears a striking resemblance to the Jon Lovitz character, The Critic
. Except he has no nipples.
Also disturbing: He lives in a kingdom called Vijayanagara, which when said fast, sounds a lot like Vagina Agra. His court rival, Raj Guru, sounds like he is moaning in pleasure when he is supposed to be growling with disgruntled rage. And his little minion is a blue critter with a Hitler moustache. And just about every episode revolves around attempted murder or warfare.
But other than all that, it's kind of funny.
