What was the first feature-length animation in the history of China?

Princess Iron Fan was written by Wan Laiming, Wan Guchan and Wan San. Wandi Atlas directed China's first animated feature film, which was also the longest animated film in Asia at that time, lasting 80 minutes. In the world film history, it is the fourth large-scale animated art film in the United States after Snow White, Lilliput and Pinocchio.

This cartoon is based on the classic novel The Journey to the West's "the Monkey King borrows a banana fan three times", which tells the story of four Tang Dynasty apprentices who went to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, but were stopped by the Flame Mountain to borrow a banana fan three times.

In the production process, Wan Guchan, Wan Laiming, Wan and Wan Dihuan not only borrowed some elements from American cartoons, but also boldly tried to apply the styles of China classical painting and China landscape painting to the films. The animation technology and character setting style adopted in this film are unprecedented bold reforms and innovations in the film industry. The background of China's landscape painting style and the modeling design of China's traditional opera art all give this cartoon a strong China feature. It is also a bold attempt to introduce many elements of China's ancient drama into the scene of character design and animated fighting.
