Chalawan, the monstrous crocodile, dwells in a cavern with his beloved, the gorgeous Tapao. Yet, the arrival of a mercenary named Kraithong, who desires to vanquish the beast, compels Chalawan to defend his loved one and confront this looming threat with all of his might.
“Chalawan” is a 3d animated short film that reimagines the traditional Thai folklore, the legend of Chalawan. The original tale is about Chalawan, the mythical crocodile king, and Kraithong, a traveler merchant who seeks to kill Chalawan to save a missing girl. In this version, the roles of Chalawan and Kraithong are intriguingly reversed, offering a fresh perspective on the well-known legend by presenting a unique twist on the classic narrative.
In this version, Chalawan, a kind and wise crocodile, who lives happily with his wife in their peaceful cave. Their peaceful life is disrupted by Kraithong, a misguided hero who believes he must rescue Chalawan’s wife from captivity. Ignoring her protests that she loves Chalawan and wants to stay, Kraithong insists on taking her away. This leads to a dramatic battle between Kraithong and Chalawan, who must fight to protect his family. “Chalawan” challenges traditional notions of heroism and villainy, exploring themes of love, misunderstanding, and true bravery.
