Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space will be produced in November 2022, and the production period will last for one year. According to Zhong Wei, deputy general manager of Huaqiang Fantawild (Xiamen) Animation, in 2016, Huaqiang Fantawild Animation, the producer of "Bear Infested", set up a subsidiary in Tong'an, Xiamen, mainly responsible for the production of the "Bear Infested" movie, "A "Bear Infested" movie has about 30-50 minutes of animation produced by Xiamen Company."
Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space is the tenth film in the "Bear Infested" series, which tells the story of the bald head who incarnates as a "workplace worker" to travel through time and space and save Xiong Da and Xiong Er. In addition to plot innovation, the film has further upgraded its visual effects presentation, accounting for 70% of the special effects shots in the whole film, with a total of more than 1,300 special effects shots, covering more than 1,800 special effects, which is also the one with the most special effects in the "Bear Infested" series.
As a childhood memory for many people, the "Bear Infested" IP continues to enrich the theme connotation with the launch of the series of movies, and the audience has expanded from the original children to a "family carnival" of all ages. Driven by the "bear infested", Xiamen has also attracted and gathered more and more animation talents, and at present, Huaqiang Fantawild (Xiamen) Animation has hundreds of animators, becoming an important cradle for cultivating professional animation talents in our city.
Behind the "Bear Infested" movie meeting the audience for the Spring Festival every year as scheduled, there is a careful and meticulous preparatory work. According to Zhong Wei, "At present, the team has begun to produce the 2025 Bear Infested Spring Festival film project, and the name is still to be determined."
