Chinese animation:from shadow puppets to 3D films
Chinese animation has a history of more than 100 years. This art form combines modern technology with traditional art techniques, such as paper-cutting, shadow puppet performances and ink-wash painting. Films in this style often contain many themes from Chinese art, literature and culture.
Pigsy Eats Warermelon from 1958 was the first paper-cut animation. In this groundbreaking short film, Zhu Bajie and the other characters come to life on screen just like shadow puppets. The film amazed audiences across China with its bright colours and lively animation style.
