The classic Chinese animated feature film "The Magic Book" will be restored and released this year. Today, the "Shanghai Release" Weibo released behind-the-scenes production footage, revealing the behind-the-scenes creative process for the first time.

"The Magic Book" is adapted from some chapters of "The Legend of the Demon King" and was produced by Shanghai Animation Film Studio in 1983. Recently, Shanghai Animation Film Studio has started the restoration of the film, using the film-to-digital method to restore the color of each frame in high definition and produce 5.1 sound effects. The high-definition restoration version will be on the big screen this year.

"The Magic Book" has a Douban score of 9.1 points, and the high-definition restored version has not yet been scheduled.

Plot Synopsis

There is a rare book called "Heavenly Book" in the Heaven Palace, which has been locked in a stone niche for three thousand years. Yuan Gong, who guards the Heavenly Book, is very curious about its contents. He secretly takes it out to read when no one is around. It turns out that the Heavenly Book records 108 spells. Yuan Gong secretly descends to the earth and carves the contents of the Heavenly Book on the stone wall. However, Yuan Gong, who originally intended to benefit mankind, violated the Heavenly Law and was punished by the Jade Emperor.

The elixir in the alchemy furnace was accidentally eaten by three foxes. They turned into spirits and came down to earth to cheat people of their money. They also pretended to be fairies and colluded with the government to oppress the people and bring disaster to the world. Yuan Gong then guided the gifted Dansheng, a child who jumped out of an egg, to learn the magic spells in the heavenly book, to fight wits and courage with the fox spirits, and to eliminate harm for the people.

Restoring the old version is a must, but being able to create works of the same quality is the key!

Restoring old works is great, but I also like the slightly blurry pictures from my childhood, which bring back the flavor of memories.

I don't want to watch it. The ending is too sad. I still feel sad when I think about it.

This is truly a fantastic drama. Whether it is the character setting, the storyline, or the animation technology, it is still top-notch today. It is still not outdated when you watch it again. It is definitely a classic.

I love this even more than "Havoc in Heaven" and "Nezha Conquers the Dragon King".
