A TRUE REFLECTION OF A SOULFUL PAST:

It all began with a dream.  As an animation enthusiast, we have always envied the genius and a phenomenon called Walt Disney who created ripples across the globe, by dishing out one magical timeless creation after another.  History bears testimony to the fact that all of his creations stood the real test of time.  The aura of his creations left an indelible impression on our mind.  We were spell bound and mesmerized by the sharp witted antics of his cartoon characters.  It ignited in us a spark of true love for animation, which consciously or unconsciously raged in us for years.  "Times have changed".  The ignited spark developed into a blazing passion in us. We took to animation, as a young bird takes to sky and a fish to water.  After some deep contemplation, the ground reality of animation in India hit us really hard.  There were hardly any animators in India and animation was entirely an alien concept.  People across the nation were content applauding the breathtaking magical Creations in Animation from the west.  Nobody dared to take animation as a career, as they perceived it to be too complicated and something, which is absolutely beyond their reach.  We mustered courage and seriously plunged to take Animation.  Criticism came from all quarters and branded us crazy and our initiatives as juvenile fantasies.  It takes a lot of nerve to break from the regular mainstream as we had no back support.  We braved all the odds and decided to battle it out on our own.

Meticulous strategizing our far-sighted priorities immensely helped us and we all put our heart and soul into educating ourselves about the technology behind.  The enriching experience at other Recognized animation studios made us thoroughbred professional in our chosen domain.  But we always nurtured a secret quest to form an ecstatic liaison with Animation, which would remain inseparable for the rest of our life and envisioned a dream to float a Animation Company and elevate it to the status of a trend setting corporate leader in Animation. The dreams got transformed into a reality when Tooni Arks was floated in collaboration with a mentor and a good friend Mr. Sunil Sanku CEO (who is an MS in computer from USA also a US Resident) and other counterpart Mr. A Y Prasad Partner Business Development (with a vast experience in Health care sector for about 2 decades) and Mr. Pradeep’s J N Managing Partner (a creative Director and team leader in erstwhile Animation Production Company).  Tooni Arks strongly believes in the notion that Innovation is Boundless and its official principle is to glorify the “Celebration of Innocent Child hood".
