Sagwa: The Movie (released as La légende de Sagwa in Francophone regions) is a 2002 animated family film. A co-production between the United States, Canada, Taiwan, Argentina, China, and Hong Kong, it was released by RKO Pictures on December 8, 2002.

Filming
The live-action portions were filmed in Lake Charles, Louisiana, United States; Montreal, Quebec, Canada; Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong; and in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The National Library of the Argentine Republic formed the outside of Jason's house (the interior shots were filmed on a soundstage in Montreal) while the Palace of Flowing Waters served as Master Oogway's workshop. Jason's neighborhood was mostly Barrio Chino, whilst his school was the Lycée Franco-Argentin Jean Mermoz. The go-kart track scenes were filmed on the runway of the closed Kai Tak International Airport in Hong Kong.

The animated scenes were created using a combination of digital ink-and-paint and CGI by Cuckoo's Nest in Taiwan.
