What happens

Usop Sontorian is a Malaysian animated cartoon series aired on TV1 from 1996 to 1997. The country's first animated series, it was created by Ujang and produced by Kharisma Pictures. The series was directed by Kamn Ismail, who was also the voice actor for one of the series' characters. Ismail was the managing director of Quest Animations until his death in 2019. Ujang, the series' creator, was not permitted to create any cartoon characters which have similarities to Usop Sontorian, after a failed legal battle to acquire rights to the character. After the series demise and Kharisma Pictures' closure in 1997, many of the production team were switched to different animation companies while others become full-time cartoonist for magazines Ujang and APO?, both under Kharisma Publications (renamed to MOY Publications). A feature film based on the series was originally planned in 1996 and slated for 2000 release, which eventually cancelled. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
