She further highlighted the strategic timing of SAC 2025, coinciding with the Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival. This creates a valuable opportunity for publishers and authors to collaborate with animation creators, allowing literary works to be transformed into compelling visual content for wider audiences.

Al Mujaini also spoke about the power of animation as a universal language that transcends cultures, generations, and borders. She noted that the industry has produced iconic works that remain deeply embedded in the memory of audiences around the world, showcasing animation’s remarkable ability to craft stories that resonate across diverse backgrounds.

Through SAC 2025, the SBA aims to celebrate the art of animation, inspire the next generation of creatives, and provide a dynamic space where industry leaders can connect, collaborate, and push the boundaries of storytelling. With Sharjah’s growing prominence as a global hub for visual arts, SAC 2025 is set to reinforce the city’s position as a destination for animation talent and innovation.
