Upin & Ipin
Upin & Ipin (Jawi: اوڤين دان ايڤين) is a Malaysian children's animated television series and media franchise created by Burhanuddin Md Radzi and his wife, Ainon Ariff and is produced by Les' Copaque Production, based in Shah Alam, Selangor. The series made its premiere on TV9 for 11 seasons and on Astro Ceria, Astro Prima and TV2 simultaneously from season 12 onwards. It subsequently made its premiere in Indonesia on MNCTV (formerly TPI) and RCTI. The series also released widely for online streaming on both Disney+ and Netflix.
The series follows Upin and Ipin, the five-year-old (later six-year-old) twin brothers, both of whom are characterised by their abundance of energy, imagination and curiosity about the world. Both twins, who lost their parents while they were still babies, live with their older sister Ros and grandmother, whom they call Opah, at the fictional Kampung Durian Runtuh. Overarching themes include the focus on family, growing up, and Malaysian culture. The Malaysian traditional kampung environment inspires the show's setting.
Originally a side project for the Malaysian animated film Geng: The Adventure Begins (2009), Upin & Ipin premiered on 14 September 2007 on TV9 as a six episode Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr special, to teach children the significance of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and Shawwal. A second season, also centered on Ramadan, aired in 2008 spanning 12 episodes. From the third season onwards, the series is produced as a year-long season with 42 episodes. It is the longest running animated series on Malaysian television.
Upin & Ipin has received consistently high viewership in Malaysia on both broadcast television and video-on-demand services. It has influenced the development of merchandise, a feature film and a stage show featuring its characters. The program has been recognised by The Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR) thrice and has won numerous awards, including the 2007 Kuala Lumpur International Film Festival 2007 for Best Animation and the 26th Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian for Most Popular Local Animation Character. Critics have praised the series for its modern and positive depiction of cultural heritage and everyday family life.
Upin and Ipin, the titular characters, are five-year-old twin brothers who are curious and energetic. They live with their 17-year-old sister, Ros, and their 68-year-old grandmother Uda (whom they call Opah) in a village called Kampung Durian Runtuh in an unspecified location in Malaysia. Their parents died during their infancy. Upin and Ipin study in the village's kindergarten, Tadika Mesra with a group of classmates, including the adorable and right-thinking Mei Mei, the poetic joker Jarjit Singh, the clumsy and short-tempered Ehsan, the easygoing and sarcastic Fizi, and the entrepreneurial and meticulous Mail.
The headman of Kampung Durian Runtuh is 72-year-old Isnin bin Khamis, better known as Tok Dalang, the wayang kulit puppeteer. Tok Dalang owns a cluster of rambutan trees for commercial purposes. He has a grandson named Badrol who first appears in Geng: The Adventure Begins, and a rooster named Rembo. Among the village's other notable residents are Muthu, owner of the village's only food stall, who lives with his animal whisperer son Rajoo and family pet cow Sapy; Salleh (Sally), a feminine-apparent who owns a mobile library, works as a radio announcer, and also an online seller, and Ah Tong, a strident-voiced vegetable farmer.
Additionally, new characters were introduced in later seasons: an Indonesian girl named Susanti who moved to Kampung Durian Runtuh with her family in season 3, Ijat (who often faints), Dzul, Devi, and an unmentioned and rarely appearing girl student named Nurul. The titular characters are voiced by Nur Fathiah Diaz for the first three seasons; from season 4 onwards, both twins are voiced by Asyiela Putri, while supporting and additional characters are voiced by the series' production staff and are referred to by their first names.
"I wanted to prove a few points with Upin & Ipin, to gauge the Malaysian reaction to an animation series by a local company ... But once out, everyone fell in love with Upin and Ipin. Those who were used to typical Western animation like the Disney characters, found the lovable Upin and Ipin very refreshing ... I believe that good story telling is what makes Upin & Ipin popular."
