While Aladdin may still be the most famous young animated Arabic man on international screens, there is a new contender in town. Mansour, a cartoon about a young boy who dreams big, will start in the United Arab Emirates this month.

Funded by the Mubadala Development Company, Mansour has signed on with Abu Dhabi Media and Dubai Media Incorporated, which means that both organisations will have the rights to broadcast the cartoon’s first season.
