Denver: The tales of wise told by Vishnu Sharma in beautiful animal fables has always reflected the moral value of ancient Indian culture. Now with a U.S. Indian to bring it to animation, Panchatantra will soon replace traditional TV fare of Sesame Street or Harry Potter as Colorado will ring in the new year of 2011 with a brand new telecast, reports India Tribune. The Rocky Mountain PBS station of Denver has announced that the animation classics of Manick Sorcar would be telecast across the state at all its affiliate stations on New Year's Day. Manick Sorcar, son of the legendary Indian magician P.C. Sorcar has been elementary in making films which are acknowledged as cultural bridges between the East and the West. The approximate two-hour program will include Deepa and Rupa: A Fairy Tale from India, winner of the Gold Plaque at the Chicago International Film Festival, The Sage and the Mouse, Sniff, Rule of Twenty One, 'Bronze Plaque' and The Woodcutter's Daughter.
