The three animations are long-standing screen classics for Chinese audiences, with GGBond and Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf premiering in 2005 and Boonie Bears in 2012. Over the years, they have spawned a string of TV series and films, becoming part of the childhood memory of China's Gen Z, who now revive their love for the main characters by making them into memes on social media.

The three animations, all featuring personalized animals as the protagonists, explore the universal topics of good vs evil, survival, and species coexistence, which are able to strike a chord with a global audience. The Boonie Bears series has been distributed in over 130 countries and regions, while the GGBond films, featuring the adventures of a lovable yet heroic pig, have screened in cinemas across more than 40 countries and regions.
