What is FREEJ?
Brainchild of UAE national Mohammed Saeed Harib and supported by du, FREEJ is the name of the Middle East's first 3D animated series that debuted on UAE television in 2006. FREEJ is the tale of four old national women living in a secluded neighbourhood in modern day Dubai. The show's main characters - Um Saeed, Um Saloom, Um Allawi and Um Khammas - try to live a peaceful life in the midst of the ever-expanding city around them, but the city's boom creates new social issues every day that they have to tackle in their own simple way. For those four old women, there is no issue too hard to crack with a good cup of coffee at Um Saeed's house. A new character Abood' was introduced in FREEJ Season 2 (2007).
FREEJ has seen unprecedented success and popularity since its debut. It was voted the number one Arabic TV show in both 2006 and 2007 and is the first UAE TV show to be broadcast on an English TV channel – Dubai One. It is also offered by du as 'Mobisodes' on Mobile TV and is the first ever UAE TV series to be available on flights operated by Emirates Airlines, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways. More than 20,000 DVDs of FREEJ Season One have been sold in 11 countries and by the end of 2008 'FREEJ' is expected to have over 200 product lines.
