Literally - based on one of the indian epics.
This is a cartoon that came to talk when i was chatting with Saphroneth - it was shown a bunch of times in TV when i was a kid.
Somewhat furry related- there's a massive army of monkeys and some talking vultures.
I guess it'd help counteract the MLP craze.
Warning for length - it's two hours and something long.

Watch and enjoy , folks!
Have you seen this before?
It's called Sita Sings the Blues. It's a mix of several animation styles, and i find it pretty funny, but it's still the Ramayana. The songs all come from the 1920s.
