Today, I will introduce a Chinese animated feature produced by Shanghai Animation Film Studio which called Little Tadpoles who look for Mummy (小蝌蚪找妈妈Xiǎo Kēdǒu zhǎo Māmā ). So let us have a brief introduction.

Plot

In spring, many little tadpoles swim to and fro in the water. Seeing a group of chickens embracing their mother affectionately on the bank, they begin to look for their own mother. With the help of an "uncle shrimp", goldfish, crab and turtle, they finally find a frog -- their beloved mother. This ink painting animation which is only 14 minutes long is well known all over the world as the Chinese unique ink painting is for the first time used in the single-line brush animation. Nearly every scene is a beautiful ink painting.

Although it is short but it has a profounding meaning. It also has achieved many awords, for example, the 14th Locarno International Film Festival YiFan award.
