Chinese Animation: A Century

Chinese Animation: A Century (中国动画100年) is a feature documentary scheduled for release on June 1, 2026. The film surveys one hundred years of Chinese animation history, presenting archival materials, first-person narratives, and historical analysis on the big screen in a single panoramic work. The documentary traces the medium from its origins through successive periods of development, covering the industry's early formation, its periods of experimentation, and its later commercial and artistic growth. June 1 is International Children's Day, a date that carries particular resonance given the subject matter's ties to generational memory in China.
