On the Nationalization Construction and Aesthetic Capacity Cultivation of Chinese Animation

Since the completion of the first independently produced Chinese animated short film "Studio Scene" by the Wan brothers in 1926, which gradually acquired a distinctively Chinese style, to the international acclaim of the first color animated film "Wu Ya Wei Shen Mo Shi Hei De?" in 1955, numerous outstanding animated films such as "The Princess of Iron Fan", "The Monkey King", "Little Tadpoles", and "Ne Zha Conquers the Dragon King" have emerged. These works are all characterized by drawing materials from Chinese mythological stories and folklore, and featuring a distinct national artistic style. Collectively, they have forged the Chinese animation style with a sense of patriotism and family values.
