2018年CRI Best animation nominee at Shanghai Film Festival to be released in China soon

 

Disney veteran Tony Bancroft's animation¹ film "Magical Circus: Animal Crackers²" will be released on Saturday.

The Sino-US co-production is one of the films nominated for Best Animation at the Golden Goblet³ Awards during the Shanghai International Film Festival in June.

The film follows a family whose life is turned upside down when they inherit a rundown circus and a mysterious box of Animal Crackers, which magically change the person who eats them into the animal they have eaten.

To promote the film, the Chinese producer invited singer Zhou Bichang to sing the theme song for Magical Circus.

Zhou also attended a promotional event Tuesday in Beijing.

'When I sang this song, many joyful⁴ scenes came into my mind. My song may guide moviegoers to enter a wonderful circus world."

Last month, Magical Circus: Animal Crackers premiered in competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
