Pakistani animated character takes Mexico by storm ​

LAHORE (September 27 2007): Commander Safeguard, the first animated superhero of Pakistan and the mascot of P&G's brand Safeguard, has taken Mexico by storm. Developed by Post Amazers, the largest animation house in Pakistan and the first with a truly global clientele, the hit series started a semi-revolution amongst Pakistani kids who just could not get enough of it.

After its success in Pakistan, the series was adapted to fit the culture and lifestyle of kids in Mexico. Going by the name 'EI XXXXX', the commander has succeeded in breaking all records to date, coming even ahead of 'SpongeBob SquarePants', currently the most popular character world-wide, with a rating of 6.2 as compared to SpongeBob's 5.5.

According to Pakistan Software Exports Board, Post Amazers CEO Asif Iqbal talking about these developments said:" The success of Commander Safeguard only proves the point that there is a lot of raw talent in Pakistan, which if directed properly can compete on international level.

I remember in Pakistan seeing, Commander Safeguard advertisements. It annoyed the **** out of me, while the kids loved it.

Single opinion:
"Commander Safeguard it is!!

Yes... I just always stick to the TV whenever this ad campaign or the cartoons of Safeguard come. When I first saw this campaign, from that teaser song "Darham Barham" till the Mission Cleanup, I was totally amazed, and in fact Proud of the efforts that were put in it. From the 3d animations to the characters [Malkah Dirty, Kachra Rani, Dirtoo..] , and the dialogues [Main houn Jaraseem ki Malkah Dirty, Jo kisi say Nahi darti!!! ] , it totally rocks!! Only the " tick tick tick tick tick tick tick " is a lil irritating, but overall cartoon does leave an impression on the viewer. Even the Commander Safeguard himself is so cute, beats any Superman or Spiderman!! Uptill now I assume its all Pakistanis' efforts and ideas, if anyone has more information about it, do let us know.

As compared to Safeguard, Lifebuoy has been trying to gain attention by their campaign "Koii Darr Nahi", but blv. me... by this idea of Safeguard's, they've taken over the soap market [I myself have started using Safeguard more] and the hearts of Pakistanis, by involving them completely in this campaign emotionally and practically."

HAHA....the hero's costume looks like a detergent bottle...or maybe a bandaid box~~

Oh I didn't read Neo's post....its a soap brand after all!!

I remember this charachter from those annoying TV ads. Are they showing it in Mexico too? And is the soap company showing this in Mexico the same as in Pakistan?

Oh, and I'm pretty sure even commander safeguard cannot beat Dora the Explorer. In my opinion she tries to turn kids into illegal immigrant sympathisers by teaching them Spanish and Mexican culture.

It is one of the best animations put forward by the Pakistanis yet. Well younger bro really love it & it is good to see that Pakistan is changing alot.
