Pigsy Eats Watermelon (which is also known as "Mr. Pig Eats Watermelon" or "Zhu Bajie Eats Watermelon") is a short animated film from China. It was made in 1958 by the Shanghai Animation Film Studio. The famous brothers Wan Laiming and Wan Guchan directed and produced this film.
This movie was special because it used a brand-new way of making cartoons. Wan Guchan created a "paper-cut technique," and Pigsy Eats Watermelon was the very first film to use it. This made the animation look unique and exciting.
What's the Story About?
The main character in the film is Zhu Bajie. He is a well-known character from a classic Chinese story called Journey to the West. Even though the film uses this famous character, the story itself is a bit different. Think of it like a "spin-off" – a new adventure for a character you already know.
Zhu Bajie is often shown as being a bit greedy in Chinese culture. Because of this, he was a perfect choice for a story about someone who loves to eat watermelon a little too much!
