“Why Hong Kong” is an animated film, developed by Jump Willy, in partnership with Filipe Andrade (from Marvel Comics)

It was created as an in-house and non-commercial project over the summer 2014, and is our tribute to Hong Kong, to celebrate the opening of our Hong Kong studio that same year.

The project went public on the 28th of October 2014, on the International Animation Day.

The facts presented in the film were taken from official government sources, and after collecting more than 200 very interesting facts, 10 were chosen from online votes from our team outside of our Hong Kong studio, as we wanted to perceive what would stand out for people that don’t know Hong Kong.
