Believe it or not, the idea of building a quality animation studio in the Middle East was born by observing a little boy called Tariq (Ayman Jamal’s son)! As he dressed up in costumes imitating the characters that he admired, the image got Ayman thinking.

The movie Bilal: A New Breed of Hero premiered around the world, becoming the first animated action-adventure film depicting a real life hero.

The company which was created to produce this film ended up opening a channel for the animation industry to further develop In the MENA region! Seven years later, a wonder of daring ambition and will to achieve the impossible… Against all odds stands! Stands in the form of Barajoun Entertainment!
