As an international co-production project, director Reinhard Klose mentioned in an interview that his creative space is very large, and the advice given by his partner in China is to tell the story naturally according to his own ideas, which makes him feel particularly happy to have such cooperation. Speaking of the animated characters who have devoted themselves to hard work, the director said that they are equally fond of each character, and even the villains in the contiguous film have a cute feeling.
Pet League, as a creative animation by China, is directed by a German. Klose said that the ultimate goal of this film is the international market. Compared with its previous work, the German flavor of Pet League is not so strong, but it incorporates the hidden lines of robots and artificial intelligence that I am interested in: "Artificial intelligence is a very important clue in the movie, and of course there are environmental problems. We chose this expression when we wrote the story script. "

According to reports, "Pet Alliance" takes five years from the project development, and it takes three years from the start of shooting. In an exclusive interview, director Klose said that he was shocked by the rapid progress of the project: "The number of staff involved in this film is three times that of a European animated film. For me, it is really incredible that I need to coordinate the staff, overcome the barriers between cultures, and be able to make this film within three years. But time is not important. What is important is that the staff of this film put all their energy into it. "
The staff of Pet Alliance are all over the world, and in China, there are also staff from Shenyang, Suzhou and Beijing. Director Klose said that this is really a great challenge for him. At the busiest time, I may have to dock 20 teams. China Film Co., Ltd. and China Film Animation have also given considerable support to the film, from the 3D modeling of the film to the design of the scene, they all have their input.
In addition to this animated film co-produced by China and Germany, China Film Animation also co-produced Hailong with New Zealand on the theme of the Maritime Silk Road. With Malaysia, he co-produced the Shadow King and other works that incorporate the elements of shadow play, and will meet the audience one by one in the future. Pet League will be officially released on November 8th.
