Is "Make a scene in Heaven" the first color cartoon in China?

"Noisy Heaven" is the first color cartoon in China.

"Making a scene in Heaven" is an animated film directed by19.26 million Gu Chan, dubbed by ten thousand brothers and produced by Great Wall Film Company.

China's first original cartoon. The film shows a painter painting in the studio. Suddenly, a little man in a Chinese costume painted by a painter jumped off the drawing board. He is naughty and interesting, which brings a lot of trouble to the painter. Finally, after some chasing and fighting, the villain was driven back to the painting.

Although the plot of the film is simple, the Wan brothers who are engaged in animation creation for the first time have encountered many problems. When shooting, either the place that should move does not move, or the place that should not move moves; After many experiments and repeated explorations, they succeeded in shooting. This film is also the first cartoon in China in which Wan Guchan plays the role of a painter and animates a small paper man. The film is produced by Great Wall Film Company, with a length of 12 minutes.

The synthesis technology of real people and animation in "Make a scene in Heaven":

The film adopts the technology of combining real people with animation-digging a rectangular hole on the animation photography platform, covering it with a piece of fine sand glass as the screen, putting a real person performance part on the screen, and placing a special reflective mercury lens obliquely under the screen, and combining real people with animation through lens reflection.

1930, Wan Brothers produced two experimental animated short films, Disturbance of Paper Man and A Letter Sent Back. Both of them imitated American animation, and animated characters and real people performed on the same stage. It's a pity that we didn't have a chance to see these works today, and even the stills can't be found. We can only know them through some written records.
