Deepa and Rupa: A Fairy Tale From India (English) was noted down in history as India's first animation with live action. It was nationally telecast in India and several times on PBS stations in USA. This classic fairy tale tells a story about two step sisters, Deepa (Deepa Reddy) and Rupa (Piya Sorcar). Their father, a weaver, had two wives and a daughter by each. The two sisters are very different in nature. Rupa is a kind and unselfish sister while Deepa is uncaring and greedy. The story begins with Rupa and her mother being thrown out of their home by Deepa and her mother immediately after the weaver passes away. We watch the story unravel as Rupa and her mother are cast away to make their own way in the world. As the story progresses, each sister makes a long journey to the Old Woman in the Moon. On the way they encounter magical creatures including a hungry cow, a thirsty horse and a tired old Banyan tree needing their help. The story teaches children a moral as each sister?s behavior in the world brings about a massive change in their fate. Winner of the Gold Plaque, Chicago International Film Festival
