Shenzhen to make cartoon film about Five Friendlies

Chinanews, Mar. 17 - An agreement signing ceremony and a press conference
for "Five Friendlies," a large-scale cartoon film about Olympic Games,
was held in Shenzhen on Thursday.
It was learned that the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2008 Olympic
Games authorized Shenzhen's Phoenix Star Film Disseminate Co. to
exclusively adapt the animated film about "Five Friendlies," mascots of
the Beijing Olympic Games, at the end of last year. This is the first
Olympic mascots-themed cartoon film in the world and tells a story about
how the lovely Five Friendlies help leading characters back to the real
world after traveling through 100 years of Olympic Games. Shenzhen's
Phoenix Star Film Disseminate Co. plans to spend 50 million yuan (US$6.2
million) on the film, which is likely to become another internationally
influential animated movie produced by Shenzhen.
Shenzhen mayor Xu Zongheng said that it is a creative idea to produce the
animated film "Five Friendlies" as it will help people learn about the
century-long history of the Olympic Games in a systematic way. At the
same time, as "Five Friendlies" embody the tenet and image of the Beijing
Olympic Games, the animated film will be significant to boosting
promotion of the Beijing Olympic Games and introducing China to the
world. Moreover, "Five Friendlies" mark a beginning that Shenzhen's
locally created cartoons has geared to the international market and will
contribute to establishing a global brand for Shenzhen-made cartoons.
