According to the animation distribution license issued on September 1, 2023, the animated film "Wolfoo Happy Family" is approved to broadcast on television nationwide in China, with a duration of three minutes per episode, with 100 episodes.

Since 2015, China's State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television issued censorship regulations for all foreign programs broadcast in the country.

Accordingly, foreign programs that want to appear on Chinese television must register with management agencies and undergo an extremely strict censorship process to ensure healthy television content according to their standards.

Wolfoo is an animated film released by Sconnect since 2018 in the US market. Immediately after that, the film quickly won the love of a large audience of children around the world.

Wolfoo has more than 100 million regular viewers and reaches an average of more than three billion views per month, of which the largest audiences are in the US and Europe, China, and India.

“Not only Wolfoo, other famous Sconnect cartoon character sets such as Max's Puppy Dog, Fairy Tales, Lego, Doll Crafts or Tiny Claymixer are also being distributed by Leadjoy on nearly 40 Chinese VOD, OTT and IPTV platforms," Brie Yan said.

As a film with a combination of entertainment and educational content for children aged 3 - 8 years old, the stories in the film revolve around Wolfoo's life with family and friends, meeting 12 standards for comprehensive capacity development for young children.
