‘Roobi and Chickens’ Will Vie at Annecy Festival

An Iranian animated series ‘Roobi and Chickens’ has made it to the 58th Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France. 
Co-directed by Babak and Behnoud Nekooei, the animation is to represent Iran in the TV Films Competition section, slated for June 11-16, IRNA reported.
The story is about an alien that comes into a forest in a spaceship in search of food and ends up in the house of a fox named Roobi who realizes that the alien can help him solve his problem involving a rooster living nearby.
The 26-episode series is produced by the Tehran-based Gonbad Caboud Studio. Its animation was earlier featured at the 10th Tehran International Animation Festival in February and the 4th edition of Jam-e-Jam TV Festival in early March.
