Release Date: Feb. 8, 2016
"Mr. Nian" is an animated feature produced by director Ning Hao and directed by Zhang Yang. The film is the only Chinese animation released along with the three giants on the same day. The film tells a story about the adventure of the magical beast of Nian (literally translated as "Year"). According to Chinese legend, people have to ignite firecrackers to scare away Nian to get good luck for a new year. The original Chinese animated feature has been advertised as family fun for the particular season, with the beast of Nian also being cutely designed for children. However, due to some of its silly or childish plot, its targeted audiences should be well below 15 years old. In addition to the three giants, "Mr. Nian" will also compete with the invincible China-US co-production animation blockbuster "Kung Fu Panda 3," which hit screens in China one week earlier than Feb. 8.
