Master Jiang and the Six Kingdoms is an animated film based on the classic Chinese story that’s due in 2016. Its trailer makes it look like something coming out of Studio Ghibli, but somehow, the hand-animated sequences are being done by just two humans.
There are more people involved in the rest of the flick (music, 3D stuff, etc), but hand-drawn animation – the centrepiece of the movie – is a laborious process that for feature films usually involves dozens if not hundreds of people.
Seeing just two (Li Wei and Pei Fei, who worked on God Hunters) put together work like this is incredible. Though it also explains why the movie is still so far away.

2016? that is a loooooooooong time
realistic for only 2 guys though
Great work for 2 people, but as a package it looks pretty dull. Stilted animation, doesn’t look cohesive…
2016 is a long way away. Probably a good thing.
I really like the look of this.
