Po, the unlikely "Kung Fu Panda" is not the only kung-fu student from the animal world. In the limelight this summer is the unsophisticated, yet upbeat piggy McDull. Being an underdog just like Po, how does McDull cope with his challenges?
Find the answer in the animated film "McDull Wudang", due out in Chinese mainland theaters on July 24.
The film is the fourth installment of the McDull movie series, which debuted in 2001 with the light-hearted film "My Life as McDull".
Unlike in previous films, McDull leaves his home in Hong Kong this summer for the Wudang Mountains on the mainland, where his mother wants him to learn Tai Chi. However McDull apparently finds more fun hanging out with his new friends. That is until he discovers a big secret which becomes his learning motive.
McDull was first created as a comic book character by Hong Kong cartoonist Alice Mak and her writer husband Brian Tse. Books depicting the life of the unwise yet honest piglet have made McDull a local phenomenon and spawned film, TV and music spin-offs.
