A new film from the beloved children's franchise "Boonie Bears" has become a regular show during the annual Spring Festival. However, this year marks the franchise's 10-year anniversary, and the latest installment, "Boonie Bears: Time Twist" by Lin Huida, looks to be one of the grandest and most nostalgic entries yet, appealing not only to children but also adults. In the film, the creators explore how we make choices in our lives, while also bringing together all the franchise's beloved characters from the past decade. The film follows Vick the logger, who faces a life-altering choice presented by a crazy scientist. Opting for a white-collar job in the city, Vick hopes for a better future, but faces unexpected consequences. He later realizes the importance of reclaiming his true self and thus embarks on an epic adventure battling his dark alter-ego created by the "time devourer" and reuniting with his animal friends, including bear siblings Briar and Bramble. The final battle is a spectacular showdown reminiscent of the ending of "Avengers: Endgame," which left audiences at the film's premiere in awe. The previous nine theatrical releases of the franchise grossed over 5.7 billion yuan in total. Last year's "Boonie Bears: Guarding Code" earned a stunning 1.49 billion yuan alone, making it the highest-grossing installment to date. It remains to be seen whether this year's "Time Twist" will be able to perform even better at the box office.
