While an increasing number of the US movies are introduced into China recently, Chinese cartoons have finally got the credit to enter the United States - the old haunts of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
The American TV Station recently signed a contract with the Haier Group to broadcast a large Chinese cartoon TV series with 212 sections- the "Haier Brothers", which is produced by the Haier Group.
The "Haier Brothers", produced with an investment of 30-million-yuan by the Haier Group, is the longest cartoon of China and the world's fourth long cartoon series. After eight years endeavor, the shooting of the last part of the cartoon was brought to an end on May 26 and it is to be presented during the Children's Day festival of this year.
The cartoon describes mainly the Haier brothers' adventure round the world. Starting from the Pacific Ocean, they first go to the North Pole, drift through the Persian Bay, fly over the Mediterranean Sea and trespass the ancient Silk Road to come to China. And finally putting an end to their rounding the world, they cover a distance of over 190,000-km by passing through 56 countries and regions.
It's reported that the biggest cartoon channel of the US once conducted a trial transmission before the broadcasting of the Haier Brothers and to their great surprise they found that American children were quite absorbed in this cartoon program. Their parents also showed their favor with this cartoon for it's rich in knowledge and absence from bloody fighting and eroticism. In the opinion of the US insiders, this cartoon series, a modern edition of the "Journey to the West" offered by China to the world, is surely to carry away the US children.
