The popularity of children's films in Iranian cinema is not a marginal product suitable for a few limited screenings, which made up a serious share of the box office; "Rat City" brought more than a million viewers to the cinema, "Golner" reached the top of the general release sales chart, and a few years later, "Red Riding Hood and Fes Khal" set a record that is still referred to when talking about the most famous works of Iranian cinema.

The popularity of children's films in Iranian cinema is not a marginal product suitable for a few limited screenings, which made up a serious share of the box office; "Rat City" brought more than a million viewers to the cinema, "Golner" reached the top of the general release sales chart, and a few years later, "Red Riding Hood and Fes Khal" set a record that is still referred to when talking about the most famous works of Iranian cinema.

It is enough to put together a few words for those born in the 60s and even part of the 70s; "Kepel", "Dambrik", "Naranji", "Golner", "Aunt Dov", "Fatal", "Red Riding Hood" and "Aunt".

For many of them, these names are not just the characters of some movies and TV series. Everyone is a door to some childhood; To the small televisions in the homes, to the movie line, to the songs that the children sang by heart and to the movies that were sometimes watched over and over and became a part of everyday life.
