국산 애니메이션 ‘뽀로로’의 극장판 ‘슈퍼썰매 대모험’이 중국 전역 6천여 개 상영관에서 개봉된다.
투자배급사인 CJ엔터테인먼트는 중국 메이저 배급사 차이나필름을 통해 오는 25 일 중국에서 뽀로로 극장판을 대규모로 개봉하기로 했다고 10일 밝혔다.
CJ 측은 중국에서 개봉하는 외국 애니메이션 사상 최고의 상영관 수를 확보한 것이라고 전했다. 이는 국내에서 2011년 ‘마당을 나온 암탉’이 3천여 개 상영관, 할리우드 드림웍스의 ‘쿵푸팬더2’가 5천 개 미만의 상영관에서 개봉한 것보다 더 큰 규모다.
뽀로로 극장판은 뽀로로 캐릭터 탄생 10주년을 기념해 제작된 극장판 3D 애니메이션이다. 제작비 80억 원, 제작기간 3년을 들였다.
한편 이 작품은 중국 정부가 직접 외국 기업과 합작해 애니메이션에 투자한 첫 사례다. 뽀로로 극장판은 외국 애니메이션에 대한 중국의 높은 진입 장벽을 감안해 중국 정부 산하 엔터테인먼트 전문 투자기업인 ACG로부터 전체 제작비의 30%를 투자 받아 합작 형식으로 제작됐다.
뽀로로 극장판은 오는 24일 한국에서 개봉할 예정이다. (코리아헤럴드)

First ‘Pororo’ movie to be played on 6,000 screens in China
The beloved Korean animated penguin Pororo from the children’s TV series “Pororo the Little Penguin” will now be seen on 6,000 screens across China.
“Pororo, The Racing Adventure” is the first full-length 3-D feature movie version of the popular TV show and is the largest release for an international animation movie in China, according to the film’s distributor CJ Entertainment.
The movie was produced in commemoration of the 10-year anniversary of Pororo and the animation series, which was developed in 2003. The production of the 3-D feature-length film took around three years and approximately 8 billion won ($7.6 million) to complete.
The film marks a historic moment for both Korea and China not only because it was released on a record-breaking number of screens, but also because the Chinese government is reported to have also directly invested funds to help with the production of the movie.
The Chinese government contributed 30 percent of the investment, making “Pororo” the first-ever non-Chinese animation film to receive financial support from the Chinese government.
The Korean premiere of the Pororo 3-D adventure film will take place on Jan. 24 before opening across China the next day.
