(To Quoc) - Sconnect Film Joint Stock Company (Sconnect Studio) and Dat Phi Media Entertainment Company Limited (Dat Phi Media) have just signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), laying the foundation for "blockbuster" animated films to be "released" in the near future.
The signing ceremony was attended by Mr. Nguyen Anh Tung - Director of Sconnect Studio and Mr. Nguyen Dat Phi - General Director of Dat Phi Media. As experienced units with their own strengths in the "8th" art form, the historic handshake between Sconnect Studio and Dat Phi Media promises to bring products that satisfy both the audio and visual aspects.
The cooperation between Dat Phi Media and Sconnect Studio will take advantage of both sides' strengths to create products of international quality.
Sconnect Studio - a pioneer in the field of film animation, a member of the Sconnect Ecosystem. The company currently owns the largest Stopmotion film studio in Vietnam and famous animated series that have conquered young audiences around the world such as Tiny Series, Luka or Wolfoo. In addition, Sconnect Studio is also the producer of the first Vietnamese commercial animated film "Wolfoo and the Mysterious Island", the film entered the Top 3 box office revenue in the first week of release.
Most recently, the company announced two animated film projects that are entering the final stage and are expected to be released to the audience in 2025, including "Wolfoo and the Three Realms Race" (2D technology) and "Ceramic Warrior - Blank Blank" (Stopmotion technology). While "Wolfoo and the Three Realms Race" is the return of the mischievous wolf Wolfoo since "Wolfoo and the Mysterious Island", "Ceramic Warrior - Blank Blank" is the first Stopmotion film in Vietnam to be released in a cinematic version. The participation of Dat Phi Media will help complete the sound of the films, bringing an international standard audiovisual experience.
Dat Phi Media has more than 10 years of experience in the field of dubbing, voice-over and audio post-production in Vietnam, and is a major partner of the world's leading film studios such as Walt Disney Studios, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures.
Mr. Nguyen Dat Phi - General Director of Dat Phi Media has more than 40 years of experience working in the field of voiceover, having held important roles at the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Cultural House and Vinh Long Radio and Television Station.
Sharing about this collaboration, Mr. Nguyen Dat Phi said: "When I was invited to dub the movie "Wolfoo and the Three Realms Race", I was really happy and worked at full capacity as I have done with foreign companies. I am more excited and proud to see projects produced by Vietnam itself."
"Our actors have dubbed for many international animation projects when released in Vietnam. We always aspire to use our mother tongue to dub the original for Vietnamese animation films. We hope there will be more Vietnamese animation projects so that our voice actors can have more roles, and maybe opportunities for projects to develop our country's cinema." - Mr. Dat Phi shared more.
Sound is one of the most important elements of a film because it helps convey the full emotion to the audience. Dat Phi Media's experience working with many leading studios will be of great help in realizing the dream of "Vietnamese Disney."
Mr. Nguyen Hoang Hai - Content Director of CJ CGV Vietnam highly appreciates the fact that Vietnamese units produce animated films for theatrical release.
Assessing the opportunities and potential of the animation market, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Hai, Content Director of CJ CGV Vietnam affirmed: "Hollywood considers Vietnam a country of animation, because all Hollywood and European animation films when released in Vietnam have achieved very good sales. Our market is recognized by Hollywood, but we are losing opportunities at home."
The Vietnamese market is showing great interest from audiences in animated films shown in theaters, however, this fertile land is still a playground for international filmmakers and lacks domestic films. As a young market, Vietnamese animation needs an ecosystem with the participation of many production and distribution units, together consolidating strength to compete with products from animation "empires".
