Characters

[edit]
Main article: List of Upin & Ipin characters

Upin and Ipin, the titular characters,[1][2] are five-year-old twin brothers who are curious and energetic.[3][1] They live with their 17-year-old older sister, Ros and their 68-year-old grandmother Uda (whom they call Opah) in a village called Kampung Durian Runtuh in an unspecified location in Malaysia. Their parents died during their infancy. Upin and Ipin studied in the village's kindergarten, Tadika Mesra with a group of classmates, including the adorable and right-thinking Mei Mei, the poetic joker Jarjit Singh, the clumsy and short-tempered Ehsan, the easygoing and sarcastic Fizi, and the entrepreneurial and meticulous Mail.

The headman of Kampung Durian Runtuh is 72-year-old Isnin bin Khamis, better known as Tok Dalang Ranggi, the Wayang Kulit champion. Tok Dalang owns a cluster of rambutan trees for commercial purposes. He has a grandson named Badrol who first appears in Geng: The Adventure Begins, and a rooster named Rembo. Among the village's other notable residents are Muthu, owner of the village's only food stall who lives with his animal whisperer son Rajoo and family pet cattle Sapy; Salleh (Sally), a feminine-apparent who owns a mobile library, a radio announcer, and also an online seller and Ah Tong, a strident-voiced vegetable farmer.

Additionally, new characters were introduced in later seasons: an Indonesian girl named Susanti who moved to Kampung Durian Runtuh with her family in season 3. There are also fainter Ijat, Dzul, Devi, and an unmentioned and rarely appearing girl student named Nurul. The titular characters are voiced by Nur Fathiah Diaz for the first three seasons,[4] and from season 4 onwards, both twins are voiced by Asyiela Putri,[5][6] while supporting and additional characters are voiced by the series' production staff and are referred by their first names.[6]

Development

[edit]

Conception

[edit]

"I wanted to prove a few points with Upin & Ipin, to gauge the Malaysian reaction to an animation series by a local company ... But once out, everyone fell in love with Upin and Ipin. Those who were used to typical Western animation like the Disney characters, found the lovable Upin and Ipin very refreshing ... I believe that good story telling is what makes Upin & Ipin popular."

—Burhanuddin Md Radzi, 2014[7]
A typical Malaysian kampung house, in which the Kampung Durian Runtuh is modelled after.

Upin & Ipin originally created as a supporting characters for Geng: The Adventure Begins, produced by Shah Alam-based animation studio, Les' Copaque Production, co-founded in December 2005 by Burhanuddin Md Radzi and his wife, Ainon Ariff. Prior to Les' Copaque, Burhanuddin spent 20 years in the oil and gas industry.[8][7] The series was inspired by his experience grewing up in the kampung.[9] Burhanuddin's wife, Ainon conceived the idea for the show, despite having no professional qualifications in the animation or film industry.[9] When he expressed his idea to produced Upin & Ipin, he recalled some people doubting the idea, saying it would not work. He said: "They told me that the audience would not accept this idea because it was set in a kampung. I was laughed at for my kampung idea".[10] Malaysian TV network, TV9 acquired the series, but in France instead of Malaysia. He then brought the Upin & Ipin video clip to the Cannes Film Festival in 2006.[8] After returned to Malaysia from Cannes,[7] Burhanuddin and his team conducted a research process and said: "We found that the Asian continent is looking for animation that is adapted to our culture and will benefit children". The creation of Upin & Ipin went through four important processes before being selected for technical reasons.[11]

Series animator, Safwan Karim said: "We started this four-minute animated series to test the local market's acceptance and gauge how the reaction to our storytelling abilities would be". Series director, Nizam Razak said, for the series, aspects of Malaysian culture set in a relaxed village are highlighted to attract the interest of the international market, citing the Japanese animated series, Doraemon, which is a bestseller worldwide despite being set in local culture rather than international culture.[12] In 2009, Nizam, Safwan, and Anas Abdul Aziz leaving Les' Copaque and set up their own animation studio Animonsta Studios, but the production of Upin & Ipin continued with Usamah Zaid Yasin serving as its director until 2013 when the latter left the company to established WAU Animation.[13]

When asked about Upin and Ipin's bald image,[9] Burhanuddin said that the twin brothers were deliberately portrayed with bald image as the hair dyeing process is quite expensive,[14][7] while the names Upin and Ipin were inspired by U and I, before it was decided to become 'Upin and Ipin'.[8][15] Initially, the twin's parents wanted to be created in the series. However, due to time constraints and dateline, Les' Copaque decided to make Upin and Ipin as an orphans.[9][16] While telling the story behind the making of Upin & Ipin in a morning chat session held in Cyberjaya on February 24, 2022, Burhanuddin revealed that the characters of Upin and Ipin's parents were not created by coincidence because they had to chase the deadline for the broadcast which pretty very faster at the time.[15] He also admitted that Upin and Ipin were not originally created to be orphans. He said: "However, the situation at that time caused the characters of their parents to not be completed and instead, the next episode began with a scene of visiting the graves of the twins' parents".[17]

Production

[edit]

The stories featured in Upin & Ipin depict the twin brothers engaging in imaginative play.[18] Nur Naquyah Burhanuddin, Les' Copaque Production's Creative Content Director and Burhanuddin's daughter, explained that there was no particular reason why the twin brothers were featured in their first animated series. Initially, Les' Copaque only planned to produce a story about a naughty boy in a family and having no friends. However, it was difficult to be certain about whether a boy would communicate on his own and how far a boy could be naughty.[18]

Much like any other animated series in the world with a shorter running time, the duration for each of the series' episode is only seven minutes. From this process, the scriptwriter will determine the story's momentum to create a climax in each episode, which is part of the elements that make the story of Upin & Ipin proved to be successful in addition to ensuring that the storyline has momentum or builds to a climax and resolution. In each episode, it consists of three parts with a duration of 7 minutes for each episode. This is similar to the three-act structure; beginning, middle, end, where each episode has its own beginning, middle and end before reaching the third episode which also has its own three-act structure.[18]

Upin & Ipin (and also Geng) is animated using the Autodesk Maya software. In a press conference on the animation software in 2009, Les' Copaque's Chief Designer, Fuad Md. Din, said: "One of the reasons we chose this software was because it was easy. Moreover, we have experience using it before."[19]

Casting

[edit]

The titular characters, Upin and Ipin is voiced by Nur Fathiah Diaz for the first three seasons. From season four onwards, Asyiela Putri lent her voice of Upin and Ipin, replacing Nur Fathiah, who left the series to provide her voice for BoBoiBoy.[6] The series' supporting and recurring characters were voiced by Les' Copaque staffs throughout the season and they referred by their first names. Series producer, Burhanuddin provide his voice for Tok Dalang, while his wife, Ainon, as the voice of Opah.[8]

Les' Copaque, according to Burhanuddin, will usually held an audition to find the right voice cast for each character. This is to ensure that they will find voice actors who know how to portray their characters and not just read the script. The series' production team will also prioritise quality. Before the animation production begins, they will conduct a voice recording sessions beforehand.[20][21]

The series also features special/cameo appearances by well-known Malaysian celebrities in some episodes, like Aziz Sattar, Jamali Shadat and Afdlin Shauki as well as former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and wife, Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, and cartoonist Lat.[1]

In 2011, Les' Copaque partnered with Nova Muzik to produced an Eid-ul-Fitr album, Seronoknya Raya Bersama Upin & Ipin which features vocals from Asyiela Putri as the voices of Upin and Ipin.[23][24][25][26] A year later, in 2012, Asyiela collaborated with Najwa Latif for the song "Terima Kasih Cikgu" in conjunction with the Teachers' Day and an accompanying episode of the same title.[27]

While season two was on air on Ramadan 2008, it was reportedly watched by 1.5 million viewers on TV9,[103] making it the second most-watched animated series on all of Malaysian television, right behind Doraemon (1.6 mil), yet ahead of SpongeBob SquarePants (800,000).[104] The popularity of Upin & Ipin could have attributed to the commercial success of Malaysia's first CGI-animated feature film, Geng: The Adventure Begins (2009), which featured the twin characters Upin and Ipin, propelling it into the RM 6.31 million mark throughout its seven-week run in Malaysian cinemas as one of the highest-grossing Malay-language films in history.[104]

As the third season reaches its conclusion in late 2009, TV9 reports that Upin & Ipin was viewed by 1.6 million, making it the second most-viewed programme on the channel, just behind the free TV premiere of Geng which was watched by 2.45 million (scoring TVR 12.8).[105] The series' season 14 episode, "Barang Baik, Barang Kita" has achieved 2.9 million views in 48 hours on YouTube, setting a separate record for both Upin & Ipin and Les' Copaque.[106][107][108]

Controversies

[edit]

Throughout its run, Upin & Ipin also drews many criticisms and controversies. In December 2019, many of few netizens had asked Les' Copaque to improve the morals depicted in the series which allegedly drews controversy among fans. They were asked to "stop allowing their characters to use foul language as it is feared that it could have a bad influence on children" and "increase content with noble values or simply cancel their show if they fail to do so" as well as asking for the character of Sally to be removed immediately.[109]

In 2020, Fizi, one of the series' characters, has drawn criticism from Indonesian viewers when he making fun of Upin and Ipin in the episode "Syahdunya Syawal" where he responded by saying "Takdelah Syurga!" ("There is no Heaven!") when relating to the phrase 'Heaven under the mother's feet'. Les' Copaque's Creative Content Director, Nur Naquyah Burhanuddin, said that was among their requests after the scene broke the hearts of many viewers.[110] Few days later, Fizi apologized through a video uploaded on their YouTube channel. In the four-minute video, Fizi admitted that he regretted the outburst he had said to Upin and Ipin.[111][112]

Criticism of Upin & Ipin continues as some parents are concerned about their sexy appearance in the music video "Goyang Upin & Ipin" which is inspired by Indonesian Dangdut. Although comments have been removed on YouTube, the criticism continues on Twitter.[113]

Popularity in Indonesia

[edit]

Indonesia has been the most obvious export market for Upin & Ipin.[114] In 2009, MNCTV which airs the series in the country reported a TVR of 10.5.[115] Upin & Ipin has also been praised by the Indonesian press; for instance, Fadil Abidin for Analisa who remarked on the vastness of moral content and Islamic values, such as respect for those of different ethnic or religious backgrounds, in a communal setting consisting not only of Malays, Chinese and Indian Malaysians, but also Indonesians.[116]

In March 2010, as the Balinese Hindu community prepare for Nyepi, images of ogoh-ogoh (demonic effigies used for the famed ngrupuk ritual on the eve of Nyepi) which largely resemble Upin & Ipin were exposed on Indonesian media. The effigy reportedly cost 4 million rupiah.[117]

In January 2022, rumors emerged that Upin and Ipin were based on a true story in a village in Indonesia after a TikTok video went viral on social media. Les' Copaque, via its statement on Twitter, explained that the claim was completely untrue as all the stories depicted in the series are purely fictional and are not taken or inspired by the stories of any person either living or dead.[118][119]

The Harian Waspada Medan editor, Muhammad Faisal Jayadi said the use of simple and easy-to-understand language was one of the main factors that Upin & Ipin had succeeded in gaining a place among Indonesians regardless of age. He also described the series as "rich in positive messages besides its cute characters".[120][121]

Upin & Ipin's popularity in Indonesia was slightly affected when on August 19, 2023, Indonesian media reported that the Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster, urged students on the resort island not to watch Upin & Ipin and prioritize local films and cartoons. Wayan also emphasized that it is important to preserve the Balinese culture despite technological advances and modernization.[122][123][94] Les' Copaque's Managing Director, Burhanuddin released a statement in response, stating that Upin & Ipin continues to be well-received by fans in the republic, while admitting that Wayan's remarks did not affect the series' popularity in Indonesia.[124][114]
