This book\nexamines animated propaganda produced in mainland China from the 1940s to the\n1970s. The analyses of four puppet films demonstrate how animation and Maoist\ndoctrine became tightly but dynamically entangled. The first chapter\ncontextualizes the production conditions and ideological contents (the\nso-called \u201cnew democracy\u201d concept) of Chen Bo\u2019er\u2019s The Emperor\u2019s Dream<\/em>\n(1947), the first puppet film made at the Northeast Film Studio in Changchun.\nIt then examines the artistic, intellectual, and ideological backbone of the Zhang\nChaoqun\u2019s puppet film Wanderings of Sanmao<\/em> (1958), especially in regard\nto the tradition of revolutionary visual and comic arts. The final two chapters\nattempt to outline the output of You Lei, a controversial film director strongly\ninvolved in ideologically radical tendencies within Maoism. This discussion\npresents the means and methods applied in puppet animation filmmaking that\ncomplied with the ideological principles established by Mao Zedong in the first\nhalf of the 1960s (Rooster Crows at Midnight<\/em>, 1964) and in the midst of\nthe Cultural Revolution (The Little 8th Route Army<\/em>, 1973). These four\npuppet films have reinforced major founding myths of the People\u2019s Republic of China\nby emphasizing specific contents of the Maoist doctrine at particular stages of\nits development. At the same time it has to be noticed that regardless animation\u2019s\ndisposition to fully adhere to the propagandistic function of the PRC\u2019s cinema\nproduction, the Chinese animated film has never presented itself as an\nideological monolith. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\npresented publication is the newest in the CRC Press\u2019s Focus Animation<\/em><\/strong>\nseries that was initiated by the Professor Giannalberto Bendazzi (1946-2021).\nThe next volume authored by Bobrowska, \u201cChinese Animated Film and Ideology,\n1980s. Festivals and Soft Power\u201d will present the Sino-European opening-up at\nthe festivals in Annecy and Zagreb in the era of Deng Xiaoping\u2019s reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
