Thru the Moebius Strip (Chinese: 魔比斯环; pinyin: móbǐsī huán) is a 2005 American-Chinese animated science fiction adventure film made in Mainland China.
Plot
[edit]The story is about the coming of age of a 14-year-old boy who grew up refusing to accept the loss of his father. He reaches the planet Raphicca 27.2 million light years away to find that his father is a prisoner in a kingdom of giant aliens who believe in magic and a medieval code of chivalry. In the midst of a raging battle between good and evil, Jac rescues his father, his new-found family of aliens, the planet of Raphicca, and ultimately, the universe.
Background
[edit]The film was produced in Shenzhen, China by the Institute of Digital Media Technology (IDMT).[1] The project began with 200 animators in 2000 and grew to employ more than 400 by the end of production. Unlike traditional Chinese films, the movie was dubbed into English first. Previewed at the Second International Animation and Cartoon Festival at Hangzhou, China on April 27 and May 3, 2006,[2] The film was based on an original story and designs by Jean "Moebius" Giraud.[3]
