What is Happy Eid about?
Happy Eid is an Islamic animated video for children aged 4 to 9 that answers young children's questions about Eid: what it is, when it starts and how Muslims celebrate it.
The Moon Fame friends, two children and their little robot companion, are going on an out-of-this-world adventure. Their rocket flies across the globe and lands in a desert town with a mosque, because they are going to celebrate Eid.
First, they wait for the new moon, which tells everyone that Eid has begun. When the thin crescent appears in the evening sky, the next day is Eid! Then there is the fun of choosing a new outfit from a rail of clothes. On the day of Eid, in the early morning, people go to the mosque for the Eid prayer, and the video shows rows of worshippers praying together. After the prayer comes a lovely meal with family and friends, and the friends wish everyone Eid Mubarak. Children get lots of sweets, and presents, and a trip to the fair with a big lit-up wheel.
At the end, the friends climb back into their rocket and fly home, looking forward to the next Eid.
The cartoon characters are set into real photographs, and the video moves quickly from one part of the day to the next. It is a cheerful first introduction to Eid for young children, and a good one to watch in the last days of Ramadan, so they know what to look forward to.
