Tsengdonghua

Tsengdonghua (曾動畫) or Tsengian animation (曾島動畫片) 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

 * In 2010, an interactive "Sackboy and sing-and-dance show" by the Tsengian version of theatrical troupe "Hyperkids" was held to promote the then-upcoming movie premiere of "LittleBigPlanet: The Movie", as part of a New Year's Day film festival at a movie theater, and it was their first performance ever done, to not confuse a few Tsengians on having to look at Taiwanese culture (although a few Taiwanese and Chinese cartoon characters were kept). but...it's original counterpart later became the first Taiwanese children's theater troupe to have a co-produced 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.
