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.
