Anime lovers and AI enthusiasts, gather round! 🤖🐼
This past Saturday (December 20, 2025), Beijing hosted a test screening of "The Reunion Journey," China's first animated film produced entirely with AIGC (artificial intelligence-generated content). The story follows panda siblings Tuan Zai and Yuan Niu on a heartwarming quest that celebrates reunion and cultural bonds.
In a jaw-dropping feat, the production team compressed the typical 3–5-year animation process into just one year, thanks to smart AI tools that helped with everything from storyboard sketches to background art. 🚀
"The Reunion Journey" joins the wave of AI-driven creativity sweeping across Asia—think AI-generated music tracks dropping on Spotify or digital art taking over your Instagram and TikTok feeds. It's a sign of how fast tech is reshaping the creative scene in South Asia and Southeast Asia.
More updates on its nationwide release will follow soon! 🎟️✨
