The inspiration from the beauty of Vietnamese culture

Sun Wolf Animation Studio - formerly known as Red Cat Motion - was born in the spirit of "Connection, Pioneer, Vietnamese Traits", pursuing a fantasy (mythical) cartoon style mixed with a bit of adventure and actions. The passion for animation motivates Sun Wolf to put all effort into exploring, researching and implementing our animation projects. With consultation from cultural experts, Sun Wolf brings novelty from simple and familiar aspects in Vietnamese life through stylized, creative drawings and modern graphics. All fairy characters, legends, folk songs, cuisine, poetic village scenes... are all inspirations for Sun Wolf to learn and develop our own animation universe..

The press conference also officially launched Sun Wolf's first animation - LINH: Magic Powder. It acts as a proof of concept in the Karma Journey project created and produced by Sun Wolf Animation Studio.
Proof of Concept is relatively new to Vietnamese audiences, in which the short film helps to portray the initial idea of ​​​​the world, characters, images, graphics, and acting techniques that the team will apply for our animation projects.
