Starting this year, the studio will remake six classic animated films, including "The Monkey King" and "Sheriff Black Cat", as well as "Tales of Avanti", which will be made with puppets. "Sheriff Black Cat" should be the first of those movies to arrive on the big screen sometime next year.

Yao Guanghua, director of "Sheriff Black Cat", said, The new edition will feature an adventure story. The film will also show the study and life of children in the future.

In addition to the six remakes, the studio's manager says they also plan to produce four new animated movies.

Qian Jianping, president of Shanghai Animation Film Studio, said, "We insist on producing original movies. We believe this is one of the most important works in our business chain."
