Kampung Boy (TV series) [SEP] Origins
In 1979, the autobiographical graphic novel "The Kampung Boy" was published. The story of a young Malay boy's childhood in a "kampung" (village) proved to be a commercial and critical success, establishing its author—Lat—as the "most renowned cartoonist in Malaysia". "The Kampung Boy"s success prompted Lat to consider using other media to reach out to the masses. The seeds for the animated adaptation of "The Kampung Boy" were sown in 1993 in a conversation between Lat and Ananda Krishman, founder of Measat Broadcast Network Systems. Western and Japanese cartoons flooded the local television channels during the 1990s, and Lat decried those productions for violence and jokes that he considered unsuitable for Malaysia and its youths.
