Director Statement

“Who is it” is a series of short animation stories with six episodes about the daily life of lions and presented in a way of reading a picture book. This series is expected to develop children’s ability to observe, think, and distinguish.

The whole animation series “Who is it” starts from an interesting logical reasoning perspective such as how to deal with different animals. As things keep missing and who is the thief? The carrot field is destroyed and left lots of footprints, how to follow the clues and find out the troublemaker? How can they find out who is singing when they heard a beautiful voice?
