The entire network has more than 30 billion clicks, and the series of movie views The number of viewers also exceeded 6 million. "Beacon Bear: Mission to Mars" is a brand new work created by the Aofei team over the past 5 years. It tells the story of Agent Beacon Bear who took over the task of catching monsters on Mars, but accidentally broke into the magical secret realm of Mars, and accidentally became friends with the Martian monster.

Director Wang Chao
Director Wang Chao said that this time the background of the movie story is set on Mars, which greatly expands the creative space of the theme. "The pace of human exploration of Mars has been reflected in reality in recent years. At the same time, we also want to treat Mars as an alien world, extend the story in a big way, and make it as colorful as possible, with extraterrestrial elements inside. Animals and robots, everyone embarks on this wonderful journey together."
Dubbing director Liang Xiaoqiang dubbed Backkom Bear this time. He said: "I saw comments on the Internet saying how can Backkom Bear talk this time? When I was dubbing, I didn't know what it would be like after it was released, but I think as long as our emotions are sincere when dubbing, children They will feel the resonance.”

Wang Chao added: "Many 'old friends' watched cartoons of Backkom Bear when they were young. It is true that he couldn't speak, but at that time it was equivalent to a small mime performance, just like Chaplin's early movies. Silent films, and later he will also appear in talkies. As this series of movies continues to upgrade, we find that Bacon's inability to speak is a big obstacle for the character to express his inner emotions, so from "Bacon Bear 2: Kingsman" (2020 ), we tried to let it communicate with the audience. However, Backkom can understand human speech, but humans cannot understand what it speaks. This time, in order to allow Backkom to communicate with the audience, we specially added the intelligent robot G13 As for the character, G13 can understand Bacon’s speech, and most of the time the two of them are bantering and bickering with each other in language. As for letting Bacon speak, we will definitely continue to move forward.”
At the premiere, veteran voice actor Guo Zhengjian also reproduced Dr. Arthur's classic lines in the film live, "Do you know how unpalatable the potatoes on Mars are?!" He said that he accompanied "big friends" and children throughout the whole process. After watching the movie together, "I observed the children present, and none of them cried. You are all deep-tempered and have grown up. Why? Because we were all moved by the plot of the movie and by Becken Bear. It is so Be kind, we must learn from Backkom Bear."
Producer Wang Yilin
Producer Wang Yilin also shared the original intention of animation production, "Shenzhen Aofei Backkom Culture Co., Ltd. acquired the complete copyright of Backkom Bear from South Korea in 2014, and subsequently made three movies and four series, all of which were produced by China. The team has completed the production. I hope our children can always maintain their innovative ability to look up at the stars, and we also hope this film can inspire children's rich imagination and curiosity."

A child raised her hand to speak after watching the movie. She believed that Backkom Bear's never-giving spirit inspired her. Backkom's friendship with Big Orange and G13 also reminded her of the happy time playing with good friends at school. Parents also said that the friendship conveyed in the film is very warm and touching, and it is also a very good growth education lesson for their children. Yu Shui, the director of "Chinese Tales" and "Summer of Little Monsters", said that the growth path of Chinese animation is extremely difficult, but the completeness and entertainment of this film completely exceeded his expectations, "Bacon Bear's IP is becoming more and more mature." Zhang Gong, associate professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Tsinghua University, couldn't hide his emotion after watching the movie: "I think Backkom Bear is very similar to the director in many ways. They both have confidence and perseverance, so they were able to complete such a film in the end. A high-quality work.”
