The animated movie is directed by Huang Jiakang and Zhao Ji and is slated for release on December 21, 2018.

In 2011, the same story had been adapted into a live-action film titled “The Sorcerer and the White Snake” and personally, I love it despite of the mixed reviews it received.

White Snake animated film had been described by Huang Jiakang relatable – “It’s a story that approaches the insecurities that many young lovers feel, like ‘what if I’m not like who you imagine me to be, will you still love me?’ It’s very relatable.”
