Introduction to the plot of "McDull, Prince de la Bretagne":
In the first three episodes, the animated series depicted McDull's gray growth story, allowing the audience to feel a hint of melancholy amidst laughter. This time, in "McDull; Wudang", McDull's story once again begins with gray happiness. During the summer vacation, while other children go skiing in New Zealand, study Mandarin at Peking University, or learn English at Cambridge and take a detour to see Harry Potter, financially struggling McDull is sent to the "Taiyi Chunhua Gate" martial arts school on Wudang Mountain to study Tai Chi because his mother has gone north to Wuhan to run a restaurant business.
On Wudang Mountain, there is no TV, no air conditioning. In lonely nights, McDull can't help but feel lonely and often finds himself alone.
"McDull" has gathered celebrities from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan to dub the characters. In the Cantonese version, Hong Kong film emperor Anthony Wong will once again voice the Taoist master played by the principal, and comedienne Sandra Ng continues to play her beloved role as "McToo". In the Mandarin version, the "crazy star" Huang Bo will tell McDull's story in his unique comedic way. The "vibrant mother" Zhao Dan will make her first attempt at voicing a strong woman named McToo who strives hard for life while taking care of her son McDull. The lead singer of the "Blue Sky Kindergarten Band" and folk singer Shaoyibe, known for her song "The Song of the Over-Aged Artistic Youth," makes her voice acting debut in "McDull, Prince de la Bretagne" as Sister Tao, and she personally wrote the theme song "McDull Dang Dang" for the movie.
"McDull, Prince de la Bretagne" as the fourth installment of the McDull animated film series, continues its consistent style of warmth and absurd humor, blending happiness with a tinge of sadness. The story begins with McDull's gray happiness — during the summer vacation, when other children are skiing in New Zealand, studying Mandarin at Peking University, or learning English at Cambridge, financially struggling McDull is sent to Wudang Mountain to learn Tai Chi because his mother has gone north to Wuhan to do restaurant business. On Wudang Mountain, there is no TV, no air conditioning. In lonely nights, McDull can't help but feel lonely and often sheds tears alone. However, he persists in diligent practice and eventually participates in the "Unbeatable World Kindergarten Martial Arts Competition" with a slow and monotonous set of Tai Chi, going head-to-head with disciples of Bruce Lee, Yuen Woo-ping, and others... Compared to the previous three films, this one incorporates more pure Hong Kong-style humor, and the sight of the slow-paced McDull performing martial arts is indeed worth looking forward to.
