Opening the web page for the animated works produced over the decades by the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, it is easy to find many classic cartoon characters that are familiar to Chinese people across generations such as the Monkey King, Nezha and the Calabash Brothers.
As a child, Liu Shuai often sat in front of the TV after school excitedly waiting to watch cartoons from Japan such as Captain Tsubasa and Dragon Ball. Now he has become a producer of Chinese animated works. Recently, he has introduced the animated TV series Kung FuWa to overseas markets. The show has debuted on the Pop TV channel in Britain and is set to be released on Discovery Kids in the Latin America in July.
