Dante's Inferno Animated is a film created with grown up children in mind to give them the opportunity to learn Dante Alighieri's teachings about life while they grow up. The images in this film are as compelling as the story itself. The film is about Dante's journey through the first part of the afterlife, Inferno. It is organized circle by circle in a chronological descent. Dante is guided by his hero Virgil through each circle of Hell and its subdivisions until they reach the center of the Earth and emerged to the other hemisphere into Purgatory. It features over 50 original color illustrations from the upcoming Dante's Inferno comic book and magazine series, put together in a series of animation clips that will delight a young as well as an older audience. All the images used in this animation film were originally created by Dino Di Durante with the help of Avetik Balaian and Dantologist Riccardo Pratesi. It is worth clarifying that this film is not a cartoon, but an "animation", which is recited or narrated, instead of spoken by the animated characters. In other words, there are no speaking characters, but only their motion with the recitation (Italian version) or narrated (English version) that follows the action seen in the film. There are three versions of this film according to the languages in which the narrators speak, primitive Italian in Dante's own words and English.
