Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This reboots the Legend of the White Snake, a 1000-year-old Chinese folktale that's been adapted over 30 times—most famously the 1992 TV series your Chinese friends' moms still watch.
Light Chaser Animation spent 3 years on this; their previous film flopped so hard they literally made a sequel to prove donghua could compete with Pixar. The snake scales alone took months.
