New GG Bond Film Lands in Malaysia

GG Bond: Lollipop in Fantasy, the latest film based on the GG Bond property from Chinese animation company Winsing, has arrived on TV in Malaysia.

Starring the superhero piglet and his buddies, the fifth movie in the franchise is now available in Malaysia on the on-demand channel Astro First. GG Bond: Lollipop in Fantasy was first released in China in July before launching on Astro First, a pay-per-view service that’s part of the channel portfolio owned by the satellite TV provider Astro, on September 12.

The 85-minute film tells the story of a girl who has long loved superhero GG Bond, but is convinced he’s just a children’s story until a picture of him on her bedroom wall opens a portal into his world.

The GG Bond series, which boasts 14 seasons and is coming to English-speaking markets under the name Kung Fu Pork Choppers, sees the super-powered piglet fight numerous threats to his world with the help of his friends. A new line of GG Bond toys was announced last month.

Echo Gu, VP of Winsing Animation, says: “The success of GG Bond in overseas markets is growing and Astro First is looking forward to a strong response to the exciting new GG Bond film. We fully expect the property’s international fanbase to continue to expand in the coming months and years as overseas viewers enjoy the great stories, humor and strong production values that have made GG Bond such a hit in his home market.”
