“JUMBO” Hits 2 Million Viewers: When a Local Story Becomes a National Movement with the Spirit of #IndonesiaPride

 

Jakarta, April 10, 2025 – After becoming the highest-grossing Indonesian animated film of all time and the first Indonesian animated film to hit the box office milestone of 1 million viewers in just 7 days, JUMBO continues to soar with its latest record of 2 million viewers! This achievement proves that JUMBO has transformed from a local story into a national pride and movement.

The film’s writer and director, Ryan Adriandhy, expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to share his story on the big screen. For Ryan, JUMBO is also a door opener for the future of Indonesian animation.

“Thank you to everyone who watched and celebrated this story in cinemas. JUMBO is our effort to share love, courage, and hope. It used to be just a dream, but you made it real. Every ticket bought, every laugh and tear in the theater—that’s magic to me. I hope many more dreams come true after JUMBO,” said Ryan Adriandhy.

Producer Anggia Kharisma also shared her appreciation:

“We’re deeply moved and thankful to the more than 2 million viewers who’ve become part of JUMBO’s journey. You’re not just an audience—you’re the soul of this film. From children to families, and the child within you, your love is so real and powerful. This is an extraordinary collective support.
Find yourself in JUMBO, because JUMBO is for everyone.”

JUMBO is living proof that a local story, when made with heart and a strong vision, can grow into a force that inspires millions. It is a film that unites, rekindles hope, and makes us all proudly say: We’re proud to be part of JUMBO.

Fueled by Indonesian audiences, JUMBO has become a symbol of shared national identity. The organic support from the public shows that JUMBO resonates deeply—bringing together families, friends, and generations.

That’s seen in how people flocked to cinemas and willingly stood in line for tickets. One example is a video posted by X user @wahyuuu1704, showing a long queue for JUMBO tickets at NSC Bojonegoro, East Java:

“Life in the regions… there’s only one cinema and it’s all JUMBO now. Please Don, don’t stop showing just yet—wait for me to get back to town. Look @Adriandhy, so many people love @jumbofilm_id.”

Fanart & Motivation for Animation Students

The excitement around JUMBO isn’t just in theaters. On social media, a wave of creativity has emerged—from a grassroots “Free Jumbo Buzzers” movement to fanart from local animators and illustrators, celebrating JUMBO as a symbol of Indonesian pride.

Characters like Don, Nurman, Meri, and even the goat trio have inspired a range of fan-made art.

“Just watched JUMBO and it was full of feels. Kudos to @Adriandhy and team for creating such a beautiful animation. Thank you for the experience,” said @fafayonara, along with fanart of the JUMBO gang.

JUMBO is also inspiring young animators and illustrators. X user @ifsleep_ shared the story of a cousin in elementary school who’s obsessed with the film:

“My cousin in elementary school is crazy about JUMBO—all they do is draw the characters. Already watched it twice! @jumbofilm_id”

Animation students have also found new motivation. @puttsartss posted:

“Two weeks ago I cried because I wanted to give up on my animation assignment that only produced 5 seconds of animation. But after seeing JUMBO, I’m more fired up to learn. Thank you JUMBO!”
