The film produced by Visinema Studios, broke records as the highest-grossing Indonesian animated film of all time, selling over 10.2 million tickets. The result of a five-year collaboration by over 420 Indonesian animators, "Jumbo" became a cultural touchstone, sparking a grassroots social media movement called "Jumbo's Free Buzzers".
