Production on the animation, financed by the Ministry of Culture, launched back in 2010, scheduled to be completed in 2012 but delayed over additional episodes that required filming. The stellar voice cast of Anahit includes Rafael Kotanjyan, Hrant Tokhatyan, Shushan Petrosyan, Nazeni Hovhannisyan, Mkrtich Arzumanyan, David Babayan, Vardan Zadoyan, Khoren Levonyan. The film soundtrack includes songs by Shushan Petrosyan, Gor Sujyan, Tigran Petrosyan, Nick Egibyan, Hasmik Karapetyan and Akunq ethnographic ensemble.
“Upon completion of production, we’ll apply to a number of festivals for participation. After dubbing, the film will be screened in Russia, with the authors planning an English-language version as well,” Sahakyants said.
