Panda and Rooster is a large scale animated series, co-produced by CCTV Animation Group and its Portugal partner to celebrate the 40th anniversary of establishment of China-Portugal diplomatic relations, and the 20th anniversary of Macau’s return to China. Through absorption of the cultural essences and incorporation of unique cultural elements from both China and Portugal, this series inherits and carries forward the profound cultural connotations of the two nations, aiming to promote the friendship between the two peoples, especially the children, and enhance the communication as well as cooperation in the field of culture and children’s education. The series tells the story of Panda Ho-Ho renovating his treehouse to accommodate friends coming from everywhere. Rooster from Portugal visits China in order to make his grandfather’s wish come true. Ho-Ho is very hospitable towards Rooster and takes exceptional care of him, making Rooster feel like home in China though he has travelled thousands of miles away from his own. In Ho-Ho’s treehouse, Rooster discovers clues regarding his grandfather’s previous visit here. Rooster decides to stay there, not only because he wants to continue his exploration, but also because of Ho-Ho’s warm hospitality. The two friends team up to search for the “precious thing” left by Rooster’s grandfather, while helping the animals staying at the treehouse to solve various problems.
