Legend has it that Malanhua is a magical flower that can realize any wish, but no one has ever seen it.
A pair of twin sisters live at the foot of Malan Mountain. My sister Dalan is lazy and my sister Xiaolan is hardworking. Dalan doesn't work, but plays with old cats all day.
Xiaolan married Malang, a young man on Malan Mountain. They live a happy life through hard-working hands.
There is an old wolf on the mountain who has always wanted Malanhua and lived a life of nothing.
Xiaolan and Malang went home to visit their parents and brought many gifts. Darran was very jealous when he saw it. Xiaolan was wearing a small flower on her head, but Dalan misunderstood that it was the legendary magical Malanhua. She thinks that Xiaolan lives a good life only by the strength of Malanhua.
The old cat has always had a wish, that is, to talk.
So Dalan, egged on by the old wolf and the old cat, launched an action against Malanhua. ...
In order to get the flowers on Xiaolan's head, Dalan and Lao Lang inadvertently let Xiaolan fall into the river. Darren was blindsided. Just when he was anxious, Malang came. Dalan had no choice but to pretend to be Xiaolan and Malang together.
With the guilt of "killing" her sister, Dalan finally got Malanhua, and she finally made a wish to bring her sister back to life. The old wolf and the old cat are also ecstatic, but things are not as simple as they think. ...
When Xiaolan stood in front of Dalan again, everything came out. What Dalan got was just an ordinary flower, but they were surprised to find and understand that as long as they worked hard with their hard hands, everyone would have hope to realize their wishes.
Film characteristics
"Malanhua, Malanhua, you are not afraid of wind and rain. The hard-working people are talking. Please blossom immediately. " This classic nursery rhyme, accompanied by every child's childhood in China, flows in the softest place in every child's heart and is the most classic and beautiful memory of every generation's childhood. Classics become classics because they leave indelible marks in people's memory. This imprint will never fade, and once it reappears, it will sublimate the memory.
As a classic children's drama, Malanhua has been staged for 50 years and has been loved and welcomed by generations of children. In a sense, she became the "flower of the century". The children's drama Malanhua is a drama of the New China Children's Art Theatre. It was a sensation when it was staged that year. Premier Zhou Enlai's suggestion that "Dalan can be well educated, so don't let her die with the old cat" made it a household name. Since the first performance, continuous performance has become the first milestone in the history of children's drama in China. Therefore, the 60th birthday gift from Shanghai Animation Film Studio, known as "China Animation DreamWorks", is the cinema cartoon "Malanhua", which has far-reaching significance.
The flower language of Malanhua is the messenger of love. The film "Malanhua" is based on Ren Deyao's stage play "Malanhua" of the same name, and it has devoted itself to the traditional classics, the animation industry in China and the motherland. The core of the story in the original book is the opposition between diligence and courage and laziness and cowardice. Nowadays, with the changes of the times and the development of society, Guanghua director Yao believes that it is not enough to take this as the core, and there must be a breakthrough in adapting classics. The new "Malanhua" is based on environmental protection, survival and harmony. The original theme of children's drama has been further sublimated in the global context and integrated with values. The cat in the original work is a product of that era, and it is the best policy to destroy it and make it better. Therefore, in this movie version, the old cat has changed from the heinous villain in the original play to the role used by the bad guys. The newly set anti-horned rattan demon is to strengthen the plot conflict.
On the basis of the original theme, the cinema cartoon Malanhua has more ideological impact, with three aspects of innovation, theme renewal, character renewal and consciousness renewal. If the original theme values of Malanhua were "diligence, simplicity and courage", then the large-scale animated cinema film Malanhua has added theme elements such as "tolerance". The cinema cartoon Malanhua stands at a new angle and height, reorganizes the story, enhances the internal tension of the film, adds new content to the story that many people are familiar with, and adds the villain rattan demon to the characters, thus turning the drastic change from diligence and laziness into a drama with good and evil as the main contradiction.

The story of the new "Malanhua" goes beyond the theme of environmental protection and antitrust. If no species is allowed to exist alone, no species can be destroyed, even the villain like rattan demon. So, in the end, we gave the rattan demon the right to live, but also restricted it. At the same time, according to the characteristics of animated films, make full use of the advantages of related technologies and give full play to the advantages of film studios, so that the cinema animated film "Malanhua" has more visual impact and greatly improves the story, imagination and visibility of the film.

The voice actors and theme song singers assembled the most popular idols in the three places, the all-star lineup, and became the most luxurious domestic cartoon dream team after Lotus Lantern, Xiyue prodigy and Warrior. The theme song cooperated with Taiwan Seed Music and Beijing Yolanda Power, and invited Wu Kequn, Xu Ruyun and Wen Lan to sing. Deeply moved by the cinema cartoon Malanhua, Wu Kequn and Xu Ruyun specially composed and sang songs. In order to make a breakthrough on the basis of the original work, the outline of the new cinema cartoon "Malanhua" has been revised more than 20 times, and the script has been revised 10 times after repeated discussions by directors, producers, screenwriters and literary consultants.
