Comics[edit]
Since December 2009, Upin & Ipin have been adapted into a
monthly comic magazine series, aptly titled Majalah Komik Upin &
Ipin to be circulated all over Malaysia, published by Nyla Sdn Bhd.[12]
Targeted at young readers, the magazine features screenshot comics of
the Upin & Ipin TV series and the Geng: Pengembaraan
Bermula film, voice actor and production
crew profiles, and learning and activity sections.
Reception and influence[edit]
The Upin & Ipin franchise has wielded its influence in
countries of the Malay archipelago, notably in Malaysia and Indonesia
which share linguistic and cultural similarities. Its first season
landed its first award, for Best Animation in KLIFF 2007.[13]
While season two was on air on Ramadan 2008, it was reportedly
watched by 1.5 million viewers on TV9,[14]
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).[15]
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.[15]
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).[16]
Indonesia has been the most obvious export market for Upin &
Ipin. In 2009, MNCTV which airs the series in the republic reported a
TVR of 10.5.[17]
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.[18]
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.[19]
