Bukari Issam, CEO of Mangers Products: Over the years, we grew up watching anime movies. I am very happy to be able to shoot a feature-length film in Japan and Saudi Arabia this time. Johnny is an example of the result of an investment and an infusion of the talents of artists in Saudi Arabia. Young men and women from Saudi Arabia were sent to Toei Animation's studio for training. After that, he entered the comic exhibition and engaged in the creative creation of films.

Shinji Shimizu, Producer of Toei Animation Co., Ltd.: The production of a long-form animated film based on the history of the ancient Arabian Peninsula is a very big challenge for us Japanese people who are completely different in culture, customs and habits, and with the help of the young staff of mangaproduction, it is the first cooperative animation film in Saudi Arabia that is full of Japanese anime flavor. Stay tuned.

Director Shizuno: I think this is the first time that a Japanese director has worked with Saudi Arabia to make a film. Having made a Saudi film, I feel very honored. Jonny was fully completed by staff from Saudi Arabia and Japan. Whether it is video or music, it is a work that integrates the cultures of the two countries.
