<div class="yiv813898667MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;background:white;"><span style="font-family:'Arial', 'sans-serif';font-size:12pt;">India's ancient epic Ramayana gets a fresh, funny makeover in this award-winning animated film. With song and humor, director Nina
Paley juxtaposes the split between Rama and Sita with her own divorce to tell "the greatest break-up story ever told." Original 1920s recordings of singer Annette Hanshaw give musical voice to Sita, while amusing shadow puppets provide the narration for the
colorful story. --Netflix </span></div>
