Fantasy Anime
Ran Bi Wa
This film is based on an ancient legend of the Qiang, an ethnic minority living in the mountainous regions of southwest China.

After undergoing many hardships and dangers, the monkey manages to get hold of a fire stone.
His fur burns off and he finally turns into a human being. The film is rendered in the style of traditional Chinese ink painting and poetically envisions life in a prehistoric society. The story of the fire thief addresses timeless themes, such as growth and companionship, which are still important today.
