"India has the manpower and the technology to achieve this," said Phil Mitchell, vice president of Canada's Mainframe Entertainment, a leading entertainment studios and maker of the hit Spiderman 3D television series.

According to a recent study, the Indian animation industry is currently pegged at $550 million.
