Vietnamese animation
After the war ended, the Vietnamese animation industry had a favorable opportunity to develop further[3] thanks to inheriting filmmaking equipment from the Republic of Vietnam and abundant support from the Soviet Union.Vietnamese animation during this period had strongly exploited folk tales, while also bringing into the film the innocence and humor of children's spiritual life.Notably, artists began to incorporate traditional folk drawings into cartoons, many of which were even drawn on “dó paper”.Due to the typical concept of the time that animation is a field only for young children, most films must ensure freshness in form, integrating educational elements into the content, and the plot must be easy to understand.During the Doi Moi period, because the full subsidy policy was removed, film production units had to find audiences themselves.Cartoons of this period increased in length and the filmmaking materials were also extremely rich; however, the drawings and movements are ‘clumsy’ and the content is heavily didactic - so it cannot integrate into the global animation trend.The biggest weakness of Vietnamese animation is that the dubbing stage has never been overcome, and it was rudimentary and develops slowly compared to just a few neighboring countries.[10] From 2021 onwards, Lạc Trôi (Lost & Drifting) is an animation that has debuted under MTP Entertainment as Son Tung playing the role of a fictional, historical Vietnamese prince who washes ashore into modern society by Episode 9.
