First Spider-man ... now Sesame Street
While I'm waiting for my brother to get off his butt and go down to the local comic book store in Bangalore for the desi Spidey comics, I came across this story on the BBC that Sesame Street might be the next Indian-ized American product.
Something that did strike me: there's no mention of what language the show's going to be in. And given that India has dozens of major languages, it'd be interesting to see what puppets they come up with. Or would there be different versions - one English, one Hindi, one Bengali, one Gujju & one Tam? What alphabet would they teach?
