About Vasoon Animation
Vasoon Animation is a Beijing-based animation studio founded in 1992. Its work spans original animated features, television and web series, artistic shorts, and publishing. The studio develops its own intellectual property, combining storytelling and visual development with traditional hand-drawn animation and computer-generated production.
Its early television work included The Flying Monkid and Scholar Cat. Over time, Vasoon expanded from children's programming into fantasy and action stories aimed at adolescent and adult audiences. That development is particularly associated with Kuiba, a theatrical franchise built around an original fantasy world and epic storytelling.
Original films and series
The first feature, Kuiba: One Hundred Thousand Hurries, appeared in 2011, followed by Kuiba II: Battle of Yuan Yang in 2013 and Kuiba III: The Rise of Battle God in 2014. The second film brought stereoscopic 3D production and Dolby Atmos sound into the series. The franchise subsequently extended into web animation through Kuiba: The Different Path, released in 2021.
Alongside its longer productions, Vasoon's portfolio includes artistic shorts such as The Bird, Spring Mood, and Red Scarf. These sit within a broader body of work encompassing television storytelling, theatrical releases, and shorter forms of animation.
Production and development
Vasoon's capabilities cover scriptwriting, storyboarding, character and environment design, modeling, rigging, animation, direction, and post-production. Its production approach encompasses both 2D and 3D animation, with particular experience in original worldbuilding, action sequences, and integrated sound production.
Beyond screen production, the company's activities include comics, novels, intellectual property licensing, and derivative merchandise. International co-production and distribution partnerships also form part of its development activity. Its reported development slate includes God Hunter, A Bear in My Family, and Ksitigarbha; these are development properties rather than completed releases. Together, these activities reflect a business built around developing original animated properties and extending them across multiple entertainment formats.
More about Vasoon Animation
Founders and corporate representation
The founding team comprised director Wang Chuan, producer Wu Hanqing (1964–2017), technology director Kuang Yuqi, financier Zhang Jianwei, and art consultant Wu Guanying. These are historical founding roles; they do not establish present executive appointments. Wang Chuan is identified as the company's legal representative.
Production financing and collaboration
High budgets for the early theatrical films placed pressure on the studio's private-equity financing model. Crowdfunding campaigns in 2017 sought to restart production of the fourth Kuiba feature. The studio collaborated with Tencent Video on the franchise's 2021 web-series expansion.
Recognition
Kuiba II: Battle of Yuan Yang received a Magnolia Award at the 19th Shanghai Television Festival. The recognition belongs to the film rather than constituting a separate corporate award.
