The animation seemed rushed and not polished enough - typical thing for a TV series, I'm not too fond of the rendering style they went for too. On the other hand, the ppl behind this project are going for something ambitious and I congratulate them for what they have accomplished so far. Hmm ..

It kind of reminded me of the 4400. I don’t see how this fits under the Islamic category. It kind of reminded me of the 4400.

THE 99 has grown out of Kuwait, has launched all over the world and is now a major animated series by Endemol. We have received awards from the UN and the WEF as well as countless awards from ajor univesities for the thinking behind the concept. This was a trailer that we produced that we finally made public but there are 26 episodes in production. We are finances by an Islamic Investment Bank and have created the first ever intellectual property that has gone global out of our neck of the desert. Thank you all for the criticism which I consider as advice and support. And please feel free to send them to me directly if you like. I can answer that.

This is just the video they were using when they were shopping around for a buyer. Now that they've been given a green light I am sure they will have the facilities and budget to improve on the animation and graphics. I dont think this is the final graphics.
