This will be the first full-length movie project for Turner-owned Tuzki, which is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>Created by Momo Wang in 2006, Tuzki is best known on social media platforms and instant communication apps, but has appeared in short animated projects before.<\/p>\n<p>Cl\u00e9ment Schwebig, Turner\u2019s senior VP of business development, licensing and China, said: \u201cThis announcement is a huge milestone as we look to grow the Tuzki franchise and reinforces Turner\u2019s commitment to its growing business in China. Turner\u2019s dedicated team in Shanghai is really pleased to be working with Tencent Pictures on this project, who themselves are leaders in developing digital IP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough WeChat, Tencent is obviously very familiar with Tuzki, and everyone is excited to see him appear on the big screen. This irrepressible rabbit has already made a strong emotional connection with a generation of young Chinese, and this film will take engagement to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tencent Pictures commented: \u201cFor ten\u00a0years, millions of young adults in China have used Tuzki\u2019s unique expressions to communicate their feelings with their friends. Now, they can experience Tuzki\u2019s story in what promises to be a remarkable story of adventure and excitement. We\u2019re looking forward to partnering with Turner to create a film starring a timeless and eminently marketable IP.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEIJING: Turner Asia Pacific and Shanghai Tencent Pictures Culture Media are developing a movie based on the famous rabbit emoticon Tuzki.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":4019,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[571,322,572],"class_list":["post-4018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-shanghai-tencent-pictures-culture-media","tag-turner-asia-pacific","tag-tuzki"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Turner &amp;
