Shanghai Animation Film Studio Retro


enter image description here

The Shanghai Animation Film Studio is one of the oldest and most famous animation studios in the world.

11 classics, from the 1950s to present day, are remastered to 2k quality and presented here (or in the UK) for the first time.

Iconic titles include The Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven (1961), Nezha Conquers the Dragon King (1979), and Lotus Lantern (1999).

The range of techniques on show here range from water-ink to paper-cutting; even Japan’s famous Studio Ghibli references the Shanghai Animation Film Studio as the root of its craft.
