[Prince and Princess Cartoon Series] McDull, Prince de la Bun (2004)

In this hybrid animated feature (2D and 3D animation techniques craft fascinating images on screen, from rundown cityscapes being transformed into an urban fantasy land through to an extended reference to The Little Prince. Recreations of the city, new and old, are detailed down to photographed facades and key moments introduce stock footage of factories or street images to further enrich a proudly local flavour.) When McDull’s mother takes him away from his kindergarten life to inspect her future seaside grave site in China, they sit down and she tells him the story Prince de la Bun. Played out like a fairy tale to the initially impatient McDull, the story she tells comes to reveal his father - a self-styled Pineapple Bun Prince looking to the past and unwilling to share marital bliss with a woman more intent on preparing for the future.
