Classic film gets animation upgrade

"Sparkling Red Star", an animation adaptation of a well-known film about a boy during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, will open October the 1st - the National Day in China.

The August 1st Film Studio which shot the live action version cooperated with Puzzle Animation Studio in Shenzhen to adapt the story. It was a big hit among both children and adults three decades ago. The animated picture focuses on how a son of a Red Army officer grew up to become a courageous young man. The story resonated with today's youth.

Zhu Xinyun, who played the little boy 30 years ago, voices the boy's father in the animation. The principal role features the voice of up-and-coming singer Xu Fei. The cartoon also has a Cantonese version. The pop duo Twins take part in the dubbing.
