''The Buddha'' ((タイ語:ประวัติพระพุทธเจ้า), ''Prawat Phra Phuttajao'', or simply ''The Buddha'') is a 2007 Thai animated feature film about the life of Gautama Buddha, based on the ''Tripitaka''. The film was released on December 5, 2007, in celebration of Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej's 80th birthday. ==Production== Production of the film started in 2004 as a personal project by Thai businesswoman Wallapa Phimtong, who was beset by financial difficulties and delays. Initially, Wallapa sought backing and expertise through a Thai government agency, but the funding never came through, and Wallapa become embroiled in a lawsuit over the production.〔 Wallapa continued with the financing of the film on her own, and at first estimated the cost of making the film at 50 million baht, but those costs doubled. She then sold off her cars, land and personal assets to make the film.〔 Wallapa said a businessman offered to buy the rights to film for 200 million baht but she refused the offer. "My ultimate goal, after the film has been screened in theatres, is to distribute free copies to schools nationwide. If I sell the project to the firm, that won't be possible," she said in an interview.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Life of Buddha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
