Watched so many animations
Do you know what the first chinese animation was called?
Now let's review the history of domestic animation
Recall the joy of those classic domestic animations
Animation Introduction Animation first originated in the United Kingdom in the first half of the 19th century, flourishing in the United States, when foreign animations such as "Short And Fat Man", "Tailor Inbart", "Charming Pictures" can be described as rolling up the wave of animation production, and Chinese animation originated in the 1920s. Some of the domestic "antique" cartoons we are familiar with are "Huluwa" and "Black Cat Sheriff", but these are not the origins of Chinese animation, and "Shu Zhendong Chinese Typewriter" is the origin.
01
The earliest animation in China
The earliest animation in China was an advertisement "Shu Zhendong Chinese Typewriter" produced by the Wan brothers in 1922, although this is only a commercial film, only one minute long, no sound, rough picture quality, only black and white, but it is undeniable that it is indeed the first animation in China, which has since opened the door to the history of Chinese animation.
02
China's first cartoon
China's first animation film was also produced by the Wan brothers, called "The Big Trouble Studio", completed in 1926, it is different from "Shu Zhendong Chinese Typewriter", is an animation with the nature of ornamental entertainment, so it is called animation. The film is 12 minutes long, although it is also black and white, but it is the first live-action and animation animation in China, the black and white cat in the film originates from the American animation "Cat's Farce", although the plot is simple, but the production process is difficult.
03
China's first sound animation
The first sound animation in China was "Camel Dance" produced by the Wan Brothers in 1935, which was produced by the Star Pictures Company, and surprisingly, the writers, directors, producers, photographs, and recordings were all written by the Wan Brothers, and the film was based on the story of Aesop's Fables. Its successful development has opened a new page in the history of Chinese art films and marked the beginning of the maturity of Chinese animation films.
04
China's first featured cartoon
China's first ministerial animation film "Iron Fan Princess" was produced by the Wan brothers in 1941, and its story was based on the story of Sun Wukong San borrowing a banana fan in "Journey to the West", this animation film lasted 80 minutes, but it was released in 3 cinemas in Shanghai at the same time, the response was enthusiastic, and it caused a great sensation in Asia, becoming a masterpiece of the world animation film at that time, and the Japanese animation giant Osamu Tezuka decided to devote himself to animation under the influence of "Princess Iron Fan".
