The three animations are long-standing screen classics for Chinese audiences, with GGBond and Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf premiering in 2005 and Boonie Bears in 2012. Over the years, they have spawned a string of TV series and films, becoming part of the childhood memory of China's Gen Z, who now revive their love for the main characters by making them into memes on social media.

The Boonie Bears series has been distributed in over 130 countries and regions, while the GGBond films, featuring the adventures of a lovable yet heroic pig, have screened in cinemas across more than 40 countries and regions.
