Lady Buckit and the Motley Mopsters (LBMM), Nigeria’s first feature length animation movie, has proved that the future is indeed, very bright for stakeholders in the industry.
For a production that, according to its team, gulped about $1m and many years to bring to life, the animation movie tells a story that encapsulates education, family morals, adventure and has a fair share of humour. And with some funny and unusual names as Lady Buckit, Slipperhead, Pantylegs, Cupsticks, Dustee, and Mopps, the movie, going by the laudatory remarks received across varied cinema audiences, will surely pave way for new realities in an otherwise largely unexplored sector of the entertainment industry.

There are mainly two kinds of people you find in the arts and entertainment field: those who are art-inclined but studied a different course, and those who are talented and pursued a course in arts. Blessing Amidu falls in the first category.
As a young girl, she evinced an interest in arts but was stuck with the idea of studying medicine.
“I was an A student in my art subjects: literature, government, etc,” she explains. “But everyone in my family studied Law. From my siblings to my cousins, everyone is a lawyer in my family. I wanted to do something different so I stuck with sciences.”
