"The Ugly Duckling" IP re-creates the core theme and strives for dreams.
According to the film's screenwriter and director Zheng Yi, "The Adventures of Ugly Duckling" is based on the popular IP-"The Ugly Duckling", but it is not a simple retelling of classic fairy tales. Instead, he created a brand new ugly duckling that gave the meaning of the times.

No matter how sad and lonely the childhood experience, the swan will eventually become a swan.
The protagonist of "The Adventures of Ugly Duckling", A Ni, a "robot duck" from the moon, has fundamentally reshaped his genes and destiny through his own efforts. It was ridiculed by other ducklings as a "monster" from "birth", but it was not crushed by negative energy. It is its firm dream to be a real duckling. It is this animation to work hard to persist for the dream. The core theme expressed by the film.
draws on the Disney style to convey eastern emotions
"The Adventures of the Ugly Duckling" is a traditional two-dimensional hand-painted animation. The animations drawn frame by frame are full of delicate craftsmanship and full of sincerity. Unlike most domestic two-dimensional animations that imitate "Japanese-style animation", "The Adventures of Ugly Duckling" boldly borrows the art style of Disney Animation, which can be called the first domestic two-dimensional animation film featuring Disney. American animated films represented by Disney, with delicate pictures and smooth movements, both highly realistic and exaggerated and vivid, with strong expressiveness; the stories follow the Hollywood model, highlighting the themes of growth, dreams, and family happiness, with rich genre elements and themes Eclectic and innovative. American animation films have a wide audience, which can be generally accepted by audiences of different ages and different cultural backgrounds. They are highly mature in art and business, and represent the highest level of animation film development today.
"The Adventures of Ugly Duckling" is not a simple imitation of American animation. Zheng Yi said: "Since Americans can use Chinese pandas to tell the story of an American hero, why can't we use American animation style to tell the emotions of our Orientals? "I believe this is not only Zheng Yi's personal emotion, but also the ardent expectation of the Chinese audience for the transformation of domestic animation.
On July 2, we went to the theater to find our dreams.
