Autumn and Marble the Movie

Autumn and Marble the Movie is a 2008 Beihanese animated fantasy adventure comedy-drama film based on the long-running animated television series Autumn and Marble. The film was directed, co-produced, and co-written by Haiyan Huai in his directorial debut, and stars the regular television cast of Daohai Huang, Kaoji Min, Yanhai Shui, Yaojin Hai, and Shijin Liu.

Taking place between the series' eighth and ninth seasons, the film follows the boys after being chased out of Olympia due to their unintentional destruction of the Golden Tower. Due to Marble's actions, Autumn Fox is evicted as well. Soon after, Marble attempts to clear his name and get his home back, while temporarily staying at his brother, Cloudy Wolf's, house in Sun Town.

Work on the film spans as far back as 2004, when Huai and series producer Weishan Li assembled a team of writers consisting of Huai and series co-writers Weihong and Zhijun Li. The film was originally going to be a prequel to the television series, but after rewriting the original script several times, the writers decided it would be an adventure film.

In Beihan, the film was heavily promoted by Power Blue Studios, and was released by Omicron Pictures on 17 October 2008. It grossed ¥3.75 billion ($589 million) in Beihan, breaking the records for the highest-grossing film in Beihan and the highest-grossing Beihanese animated film. A standalone sequel, Autumn and Marble the Movie: Into the Storm, was released in 2011.
