Characters in Chinese cartoon "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf": Big Big Wolf(Front L), Big Red Wolf(Front R), Pleasant Goat(2nd Line R), Ebullient Goat(2nd Line L), Lazy Goat(Back L), Beautiful Goat(Back M) and Slow Goat |
Zhao Jun, general manager of the China Film South Cinema Circuit Co. Ltd., called the cartoon movie a "dark horse" and forecasted a minimum 60-million-yuan in its total box office.
Insiders attributed the cartoon's success to the large group of potential viewers cultivated by a 500-episode popular TV animation series that had been aired for three years.
The film, based on the TV series and starring the same characters, tells a story about several goats and their old enemy Big Big Wolf, who defeat their common enemy - bacteria - together.
A manager of the Beijing-based Stellar International Cineplex was quoted as saying that the cinema has assigned a big hall which was scheduled to screen "Red Cliff II" for "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" to satisfy viewer's demand.
"Red Cliff II", an historical epic directed by Hollywood-based Hong Kong director John Woo, opened on Jan. 7 and reportedly raked in almost 180 million yuan in 11 and a half days.
