McDull Quotations Holding the bun, I suddenly understood that there are some things that if you don’t have, you don’t have, if you don’t have it, you won’t have it, no fish balls, no thick noodles, no trip to the Maldives, no medals, There is no Cheung Po Tsai treasure, and Cheung Po Tsai has never eaten that bun.
It turns out that being stupid is not that funny. Being stupid will lead to failure and disappointment. Disappointment, not that funny.
Being fat is not necessarily funny. Being fat does not necessarily mean you have strength. Even if you have the strength, you may not be able to do it. Holding the bun, I suddenly thought, when I grow up, what will happen to me when I have to face this stiff world where dreams may not be so funny?

Before the "McDull Story" that became famous in one fell swoop, there were 12 episodes of the McDull TV animation
"McDull" creates a new world for Hong Kong animated films. Hong Kong used to be known as "Oriental Hollywood". Although the film industry is developed, it is very lacking in animation production. It is still difficult to find a Hong Kong animated film. The animation masterpieces that we are proud of are all Japanese and Hollywood animation works that fill the Hong Kong screen. The sensation caused by the release of "The Story of McDull" made Hong Kong audiences and Hong Kong filmmakers see the prospects of Hong Kong animated films, without Hollywood-style three-dimensional animation technology or the weird imagination of the Japanese.
McDull An authentic Hong Kong story made the audience applaud in unison. This must be thanks to the careful creation of Xie Liman and Mak Ka-pi.
Tse Li-man and Mak Ka-pi are a husband-and-wife team in the Hong Kong comics industry. Their works are unique in Hong Kong and completely different from the popular martial arts comics in Hong Kong. Not only are the characters cuter in appearance, but the story is also suitable for all ages. "McDull Story" is part of the "McDull" comic series they started creating in 1988.
When it was adapted into a movie, some of the content of the story was changed to make it more relevant to the audience. The images of McMark and McDull in the comic "McMark" are not unfamiliar to Hong Kong people, because the images of McMark and McDull are often seen in stationery and toys in Hong Kong. The story of McMark and McDull has also appeared on Hong Kong TV. Adapting it into a movie has been the long-cherished wish of Tse Li-man and Mak Ka-pi. Originally, the film was planned to be released in the summer of 2001, but due to quality reasons, it was not rushed into completion and was postponed to the Christmas period after careful work.
If Hong Kong’s kung fu films are already on the decline, then it can be said that the production of Hong Kong cartoons has not really started yet. Some people in the Hong Kong film industry even believe that making animated films is not as profitable as making a film specifically for VCD distribution. This naturally dampens the confidence of investors and creators.
Especially in the overall sluggish situation of the Hong Kong film market, Tse Li-man and Mak Ka-pi's bucking the trend is really admirable for their courage and confidence. In the face of Hollywood's three-dimensional animation masterpiece "Monsters, Inc." and Miyazaki Hayao's hand-drawn two-dimensional animated film "Spirited Away", although "McDull Story" is obviously technically lagging behind, the passion of the creator and the authenticity of the story Local appeal makes up for other deficiencies. Regardless of the revenue and impact of the film itself, McDull's enthusiasm for animation creation by Hong Kong filmmakers and the confidence of investors are unprecedented. Perhaps under the spiritual encouragement of "McDull", Hong Kong's animation creation will create a new world. In this way, "McDull" is not only a legendary character in the Hong Kong comics industry, but also a successful pioneer in the history of Hong Kong animation.
In the cultural performance celebrating the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, it started with a cartoon In the short film, the cartoon child "McDull", who was rated as the most representative image of Hong Kong people, watched the party with his mother, Mrs. Mai, full of expectations. McDull, who had a babyish voice, was thinking about "Let's see Chairman Hu and ask for an autograph." He kept asking his mother, "Have you brought an autograph book and eraser?" "Mai Tai" educated his son: "Why don't you practice Mandarin?" and asked his son tomorrow. Why don't you go to class? "Because it's July 1st, the anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. Every child knows it." This interesting conversation made everyone laugh.
