Princess Iron Fan, is the first full-length Chinese animated feature film. It is also considered the first Asian animated feature film. The film is based on an episode of the 16th-century novel Journey to the West. It was directed in Shanghai under difficult conditions in the thick of World War II by Wan Guchan and Wan Laiming and was released on 19 November 1941.

Production

The Wan family twins Wan Laiming and Wan Guchan, with their brothers Wan Chaochen and Wan Dihuan, were the first animators in China. After the release of their first "real" cartoon, Uproar in the Studio (1926), they continued to dominate China's animation industry for the next several decades. In the late 1930s, with Shanghai under Japanese occupation, they began work on China's first feature-length animated film.

Wan Laiming and Wan Guchan returned to the unoccupied International Settlement and French Concession of Shanghai (known as Orphan/Solitary Island) in April 1939 and produced Tieshan gongzhu/Princess Iron Fan (1941), the first animated feature film in Asia. It became an instant hit and traveled to many other countries.

The film took three years, 237 artists and 350,000 yuan to make. Rotoscoping was used extensively to save money, and the eyes of the live actors are often visible in the faces of the animated characters.

By 1940, the film would render past 20,000 frames, using up more than 200 thousand pieces of paper (400 reams of 500 pieces each). They shot over 18,000 ft (5,500 m) of footage. And the final piece would contain 7,600 ft (2,300 m) of footage which can be shown in 80 minutes.

Princess Iron Fan became the first animated feature film to be made in China. The movie was made to create an Indigenous Chinese princess that is based on folklore. Upon completion, the film was screened by the Chinese Union Film Company.
