Light Chaser Animation Studios is a CG animation film studio based in Beijing, China. The studio was founded in early 2013 by Gary Wang, the founder and ex-CEO of the popular Chinese video sharing website Tudou.com.

Founding

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal on March 12, 2013,[1] Gary Wang announced Light Chaser Animation, a movie studio to produce animated feature films targeting the rapidly growing Chinese movie market, which grew by 30% in 2012[2] and is widely expected to overtake the U.S. market in size by 2020.[3] He cited the lack of quality domestically produced animation content, an rapidly growing domestic market, and improving environment for movie distribution, promotion and copyrights in China as the main reasons behind his decision.

Light Chaser's website states that its main goal is to "create world-class animated films".[4]
