Film trailer highlighting family bonds wins praise online
An upcoming film's trailer has garnered huge attention on China's social media platforms, with many netizens dubbing the short video as the "best commercial video of 2019".
The 5-minute trailer is advertising the upcoming animated film Peppa Celebrates Chinese New Year, which is set to hit big screens on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year and the first day of the Chinese zodiac's Year of the Pig.
The trailer revolves around the question "Who is Peppa?" and tells a touching story that highlights Chinese families.
In the beginning, a senior man named Li Yubao living in a remote rural area asked his grandson on the phone what gifts he wanted for the Spring Festival, but only heard the word "Peppa" due to the poor mobile signal. Therefore, the man begins an interesting journey to discover who Peppa is.
With the help of neighbors, the senior got closer to the answer, created a Peppa Pig model using metals and his own intuition, and surprised his grandson.
At the end of the story, the man found out Peppa was a cartoon figure and enjoyed the film with the whole family during the holiday season.
