Tsengdonghua

Tsengdonghua (曾動畫) or Tsengian animation is a type of animation used for movies and TV shows in the Tseng Republic. It began in 1956 with the black-and-white cartoon Monkey King (孫悟空).

Some of their TV shows and films are based on Chinese folk stories, novels, foreign fairytales, and even Mandarin nursery rhymes. Originally, Tsengdonghua followed the style of American animation, but since the 1980s and 1990s, Tsengdonghua has been heavily influenced by anime. It can described as a mix between the two.

History
Tsengian animation has its roots in the colonial era. The British and French introduced cartoons in Tseng. The first cartoon made and produced in Tseng was in 1956, by the 'Father of Tsengdonghua', Fernand Fang (方韌). However, Tsengdonghua was not very developed until the introduction of television in Tseng in 1959. Many American cartoons such as  enjoyed great popularity in Tseng. Soon after, many animation studios were founded.

This abruptly came to an end by 1962 due to the Dazuo.

Trivia

 * An interactive sing-and-dance performance by the Taiwanese theater troupe "Hyperkids" was held to promote the premiere airing of "Heart Catcher Mei-Shang - Super Sparkling!", as part of a Chinese New Year festival at Ming Yong Paradise, and it was their only performance in the Tseng Republic, with a licensed Tsengdonghua character. however, to not confuse a few Tsengians on Taiwanese culture, the troupe decided to create a Tsengian localization, with a Kuboian localization later made around the spring of 2016. it later became the first Taiwanese children's theater troupe to have a Tsengdonghua based on one of it's theatrical plays, in 2022.
 * "Heart Catcher Mei-Shang" is the only Tsengdonghua to become a long-running series, while a few others only had a small amount of reboots.
