Sat Sri Akal Ji,

i have been going through the discussion n youth forums on this site for some time now and it has been pretty intigruing. i have been having a doubt for a long time already for i have been imagining and wondering how cool would a sikh animation movie of some historical events look like when they come out. By animation movies i mean.. movies using graphics like 'Final Fantasy' (very realistic computer graphics)..somewhat like 'Shrek' also. I have heard that in movies and plays one cannot personify the Guru, but can 'voice' His speeches/dialogues..so i was just wondering whether if an animation movie ..say about an event in Guru gobind Singh Ji's life was made, can the movie put in the character of the Guru Himself? (since nobody would be personifying Him except for voice).
An almost-realistic graphics animation movie on Sikh history with inspiring shabads as background music and using special-effects to bring out the magic of Guru Gobind Singh Ji has been something that I have been dreaming about (though i m not qualified or educated much about computers n stuff)but the doubt of the Guru's character has been bothering me, and moreover i m asking this question also to give anyone who is good in computers n animations..some ideas that can inspire the people.
*'Final Fantasy' is the best example of a realistic animation movie.
Hoping for some responses...Thank you.

I think it is a wonderful idea, but I don't know if the impersonation of Guru Gobind Singh in animation form would be acceptable. You would have to contact someone who is knowledgable in such matters. I will post this on the Youth Forum and we'll see if anyone responds to you. Blessings. GTKK
