Just in time for opening ceremonies in Beijing, Cheerland Entertainment and Itscartoon Animation Studios have joined forces to deliver an Olympic themed animated series. Olympics Is In Our Family combines Flash animation with 3D environments to delivery a rich looking world. If your Mandarin is rusty, I recommend more Ni Hao, Kai-Lan.

Its Cartoon, an animation studio in Hangzhou, China, recently posted a new animated short. I believe the title translates to Sidamingzhu. The studio has also posted some stills from the Flash production on their blog.

There’s already been several posts here on CHF about the work of the Chinese studio Its Cartoon. Here we see many types of animals competing for the love one woman. And in the end, a frog punches her in the face. Wha?

Chinese Flash Flips the Bird

The Chinese cartoon studio Its Cartoon has been mentioned here before, more recently in September for their short ‘Donghua,’ or what we called ‘The Lusty Troll.’ They’re released a new short, which we’ll call ‘That Flipping Bird,’ and it’s equally as enjoyable. The use of ‘bullet time’ and no actual dialogue makes this a short that can be enjoyed the world over.

Thanks to Gil Crows website for the tip.

The Lusty Flash Troll

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2005 15:31:00 +0000

The Chinese animation company Its Cartoon have cooked up the first installment in a series that I believe is titled either ‘Donghua’ or ‘Xuanyuan.’ The plot seems very similar to ‘PUCCA,’ the Korean Flash-animated show that will soon air on the European Jetix network. It’s a tale of failed romance, much like in ‘Donghua,’ but here we follow a green troll in pursuit of a cute, furry-esque girl. In this first installment, we see our troll suitor fail and fail again – all nested between some fairly adult humor. It’s a trend I’ve seen from the Chinese, Japanese and Korean animation markets – shows that, on the surface, appear young-skewing, but the addition of adult themes like sex and romance seem to hint of an older target. The show is hosted at the Chinese animation portal Joypark, which currently shows 4 vacant slots, leading me to believe that we can expect several more installments from this horny, love-struck troll.
