China, Germany launch animation co-production 'Panda and Gummy Bear' in Berlin

An international launch ceremony for the China-Germany animated coproduction series Panda and Gummy Bear was held in Berlin, Germany, on November 13, bringing together Chinese and German partners behind the series.

Hosted by China International Television Corporation and Gummybear International, Inc., the event marked a new step in the series' international distribution and promotion.

During the ceremony, representatives from both sides exchanged cooperation tokens and pledged to pool their resources in the fields of content production, brand development and overseas distribution. They will also work together on international licensing and market promotion, with the aim of bringing the series to a wider audience across Europe and beyond.

The series is jointly produced by China Central Television Animation Group and Gummybear International, Inc. It is the latest addition to China Media Group's "Panda Hehe" international co-production animation series.

Featuring China's panda character Hehe and Germany's popular animated character Gummy Bear, the production brings together creative elements from both countries. It uses animation as a bridge for dialogue between young audiences, encouraging children to learn about different cultures and appreciate cultural diversity.

The series' launch on YouTube and the promotion of overseas licensing mark a further step in the international expansion of China's original animated intellectual property.
