Jakarta, March 4, 2025 — Marhaban Ya Ramadan! In celebration of the holy month of Ramadan, the voice cast of the animated film JUMBO shared kindness with hundreds of students from various schools ranging from Kindergarten to Elementary School in the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek). As part of “JUMBO” Goes to School, the JUMBO crew brought the warmth of Ramadan to schools through storytelling sessions.
Among those who participated in the storytelling sessions during “JUMBO” Goes to School were Prince Poetiray (voice of Don), Quinn Salman (voice of Meri), and Yusuf Ozkan (voice of Nurman). In addition to storytelling “The Bubble Island Knight” from the JUMBO film, the “JUMBO” Goes to School program also featured exciting activities such as anti-bullying campaigns, various games, and even a sneak peek of the JUMBO movie.
Some of the schools visited by Don and his friends included Al Jabr Islamic School, SDN 15 Duren Sawit, SD Bani Saleh 1 Bekasi, Kinderland Preschool Pulomas, Sekolah Cakra Buana, SDN Kalideres 12, and 13 early childhood education (PAUD) centers in Pondok Pinang.
Anggia Kharisma, Chief of Content Officer at Visinema Studios and Producer of the JUMBO animated film, said, “JUMBO is not just an animated film, it is a story about courage, friendship, and how to embrace differences. Don, the main character, experiences bullying because of his appearance, and through his journey, we want to encourage children to understand that every individual is valuable just as they are. Through the “JUMBO Goes to School” program, we are not only introducing the film but also bringing important values about tolerance and empathy directly to the schools. We have collaborated with experts to help children understand the importance of respecting each other. This program has been running since late February and continues with great enthusiasm. Our hope is that every child participating in this activity not only has fun but also feels closer to Don and his friends and, most importantly, becomes more confident in being themselves and loving themselves, their parents, teachers, and friends better.”
The JUMBO animated film is directed by Ryan Adriandhy, with production by Anggia Kharisma and Novia Puspa Sari. The voice cast includes Prince Poetiray, Quinn Salman, Yusuf Ozkan, Ariel NOAH, Ratna Riantiarno, Ariyo Wahab, Bunga Citra Lestari, Angga Yunanda, M. Adhiyat, Graciella Abigail, and Cinta Laura Kiehl.
JUMBO tells the story of Don, who often feels underestimated by his peers. To prove he is more than just a big-bodied kid who never wins at anything, Don is determined to participate in a talent show by performing a stage play inspired by a storybook passed down by his parents.
However, everything changes when a bully steals the book, and Don meets a young child who asks for his help to reunite with their parents. Together with his new friend, Don embarks on a heartwarming adventure that teaches the meaning of courage, self-confidence, and true friendship.
Join Don and his friends on their adventure, and become part of #JUMBOuntukSemua, which will be released this Eid! Get the latest updates on the JUMBO animated film through the official social media accounts @visinemastudios and @jumbofilm_id.
