Fun Facts

t took seven years and an unprecedented international coalition to finance. The film was funded by a rare global partnership: Hong Kong's Film Development Fund, the Philippine Film Commission, China's TMZ Media, Japan's Digital Hollywood University, and — in a first for the region — Saudi Arabian company Animekey, which made its inaugural animation investment because it believed the story of Eastern reincarnation would resonate in the Middle East.

It made history at Annecy as Hong Kong's first "Midnight Special" selection. The film became only the second Hong Kong full-length animation ever selected for the Annecy International Animation Film Festival (after My Life as McDull), and the first to be featured in the festival's prestigious "Midnight Special" section. It later won the Golden Horse Award for Best Animated Feature and became the highest-grossing Hong Kong animated film of all time.

The director designed the ghosts using Tibetan "Skull Dance" rituals. Director Tommy Ng Kai-chung drew direct inspiration from Tibetan Buddhist "Skull Dance" rituals and the philosophy of impermanence to create the film's afterlife aesthetic and ghost character designs — a visual approach he blended with hand-painted watercolor backdrops and 3D skeletal animation to create what the team called a "digital picture book" style.
