Introducing my favourite animation



Have I said that I LOVE the animation, McDull (麦兜) from Hong Kong? This animation features a cartoon pig called McDull raised in a single-parent family. McDull is a student in kindergarten and his mother, being a typical Hong Kong parent expects him to get good grades. This is a MTV for the animation and the title is a funny one - "仲有最靓得猪腩肉" (《还有最好的猪肚肉》in Chinese and "Still Got Nice Pork Belly" in English). Well it's very funny! I can't understand everything fully because it's in Cantonese but guessing the meaning is fun enough. Oh ya, stars like Anthony Wong and Sandra Ng lend voices to this animation.





Mrs Mak, McDull's mother is teaching how to make "纸包鸡" and other "dishes". It's in Chinese, so it should be easier to understand.





Look at McDull's kindergarten classmates comprising of various other animals and what they teach them in class.




This is one of the best clips, very warm and touching. McDull wanted Mrs Mak to buy him a goldfish but his mother wanted him to get full marks for his exams before he can get a goldfish. McDull worked very hard and he scored 100 marks! However, Mrs Mak lied to McDull that he can get a baby goldfish by hatching a "fish-egg" (fish ball is called fish-egg 鱼蛋 in Hong Kong). McDull believes so and takes really good care of the "egg".
