The character & scene designs are based on Chinese style. The combination of 2D characters & 3D effects is a completely new trial which bring the verve of the characters together with the visual effects. The 2D animation maintains the feeling of the material style in the original comic, while the 3D technique well enhances the reality scenes and the competition in the martial skills.

Comments from Judging Panel
The animation movie in Japan and USA already has always taken over the world animation market. An originated animated feature film from Hong Kong is always expected. The animators pursued in the two-dimensional animation style as the original comicˇ¦s drawing skill from Mr. Ma Wing-Shing. The background animation is also meticulous with a world class standard.
This Hong Kong style ˇ§Chinese costume kung fuˇ¨ animation is one of the great steps for Hong Kongˇ¦s creative industry. It successfully turns the outstanding local comic which received high recognition worldwide into an animation. It sophisticatedly blends 2D and 3D technology to deliver high level of aesthetic.
Just like many chivalric fiction novels, everyone has a different novel hero image. This is so impressive that Hong Kong animation could reach this level.
