Latest Nonopanda Animated Short
Nonopanda is a popular online cartoon character in China created by Lin Wuzhi, a Shanghai-based “bedroom” animator and cartoon designer (IN2marcom introduced two of his work before, link here and here).
Wuzhi’s latest work was uploaded to Tudou just a few days ago and already has nearly a million views (unfortunately it has been blocked due to spoofing on sensitive content). Check it out below.
Watch closely and you will notice quite a few pop culture references, some unique to China (e.g. grass mud horse, green dam girl, etc. and even a dancing panda-ized version of Michael Jackson makes an appearance).
If you like Nonopanda, download some of the character’s fun avatars and animated emoticons. For more from Lin Wuzhi on NeochaEDGE, link here.
