Tales in Mushroom Village (partially found Chinese animated series; 2009-2010)
Tales in Mushroom Village (蘑菇村的故事) is a 2009 Chinese computer animated series produced by Hefei-based Anhui Lister 3D Animation Production Company. It chronicles the lives of anthropomorphic animal characters who live in the titular setting. One of the protagonists is a squirrel who moves to the town and familiarizes with its citizens. He and his friends thwart against a nuisance skunk as well as a terrifying giant python. According to an online encyclopedia, it had 100 episodes running 20 minutes each.
In 2010, it had a sequel series with the subtitle "Alien Visitors", where the villagers fight to save their home from an extraterrestrial threat. It reportedly had 10 episodes running 20 minutes each.
It is not clear which network in China had broadcast the series. A news article mentioned a United Arab Emirates network that acquired broadcast rights for the series.[1] Yixiang Music Studio composed and recorded the series' soundtrack.[2] The series had been promoted on the Chinese licensing site KoWe International (defunct).
Availability
There are no full episodes known to be on the internet, even if the show's name is entered on Chinese search engines like Baidu. Similarly, information on the show is extremely scarce. Both series have their trailers posted on the video site Youku; they have been reposted on YouTube. A DVD set including 200 minutes of footage is listed on JD.com but has been out of stock. The production company is likely out of business because its business license has been revoked and its website no longer exists.
