Within the framework of the first Animation Film Festival series "Stream of Aspiration", Sconnect Studio, Alpha Studio, Colory Animation Studio simultaneously announced four animated film projects under production, expected to be commercially exploited in 2025.
Vietnamese animation has witnessed many proud developments as more and more units produce unique, highly creative products that gain public sympathy.
This is good news for the Vietnamese film industry, marking an unprecedented step forward for the animation industry. However, producing feature-scale animation projects is still a risky move that not many producers choose.

Four major animation projects were released, marking a new development step for the Vietnamese animation industry. |
The challenge for animation studios today lies in investment resources in both human resources and finance, and at the same time, they must invest in attractive content (script, images, acting) to compete with imported blockbusters and gain the trust of audiences who are used to enjoying foreign animation.
In October 2023, the animated film "Wolfoo and the Mysterious Island" produced by Sconnect Studio, premiered in theaters nationwide, opening a new turning point for Vietnamese animation. When the first commercial animated film achieved very positive results, it entered the top 3 box office revenue in the first week of release.
The love of Vietnamese audiences is the motivation for producers to boldly research the next projects. In 2024, Sconnect Studio continues to announce two new projects: "Wolfoo and the Three Realms Race" and "Ceramic Warrior - Blank Blank".

Producers share their passion and aspirations for animation. |
Sharing about producing two theatrical films in one year, Mr. Nguyen Anh Tung, representative of Sconnect Studio said: "Not only in 2025, but we have a long-term strategy of regularly producing 3-4 theatrical animated films each year, ensuring the ability to optimize the production process and provide high-quality content."
Another prominent unit is Colory Animation Studio - an experienced animation brand with 15 years of operation. Standing out with its ability to produce 3D animation, "Zombie with crossed eyes" is the foray into the cinema genre after a long time of reaping many achievements with short films and series. Mixed with horror elements, the main message of the work is to relieve the pressure that society is putting on the shoulders of young people.

Audiences always pay attention to domestic animation. |
Another highlight is the mark of Alpha Studio. After launching the 3D animation series "Trang Quynh in his silly days" in 2023, this unit has now released more than 300 contents on the YouTube platform, many of which have reached millions of views.
With beautiful 3D images, the series revolves around customs and habits, elements of life imbued with Vietnamese culture, such as banyan trees, ferry docks, communal houses, rice culture, and important holidays, such as: Tet Ong Tao, Tet Nguyen Dan or Mid-Autumn Festival.

The project announcement was packed with spectators. |
It is expected that in 2025, the first big screen version of the boy Quynh Nhi named "The Legend of the Taurus" will be released, setting the record for the first 3D animated film in Vietnam. Still based on the folk tale material combined with advanced production technology, "The Legend of the Taurus" is the journey of the boy Quynh and his friends entering a dramatic and mysterious adventure.
"One of the biggest challenges of 3D animation projects is optimizing the production process. Instead of taking 36 months as usual, Alpha Studio has tried to shorten the completion time to only 18 months," shared director - Meritorious Artist Trinh Lam Tung, Director of Alpha Studio.

"Taurus Legend" is an animated film that is highly anticipated by young audiences. |
The attractions of the project "The Legend of Taurus" include: Modern 3D technology, confident of achieving top quality in Vietnam and the region, promising to bring a satisfying experience, not inferior to international products; Vietnamese folk culture elements help the audience live in a world that is both familiar and new with traditional values honored...
In addition, the film is not only an entertainment product but also demonstrates the aspirations and remarkable progress of the Vietnamese animation industry. The film is a testament to the spirit of innovation, creativity and the will to reach international standards, strongly inspiring national pride.
 |
Alpha Studio crew is highly focused to bring the product to the audience soon. |
"This is the first 3D animated film in Vietnam to be released in theaters. I have heard the word "first" for more than ten years, I have waited and when I could not wait any longer, I made it myself. Many brothers and sisters have helped me, given me wings to fulfill my dream", Meritorious Artist Trinh Lam Tung shared about his "brainchild".
He hopes that the four projects will become important milestones, bringing Vietnamese animation to the world and affirming the position of the country's cinema. The films are also a tribute to the audience, who have always accompanied and supported Vietnamese animation in its journey to conquer new heights.

National cultural identity is the top concern. |
From an investor's perspective, Ms. Vu Phuong, Investment Director of Red Ruby Entertainment film project, said: "We, investors who are too familiar with movies, now have a new choice from the animation market, which is very diverse in genres such as 2D, 3D or Stopmotion. I think the investment potential of animation can be greater than live-action films because we not only exploit them in theaters but also on other platforms such as merchandise, F&B activities and promotional activities."
