CATDOLL: Taking over the world, Pleasant Goat leads the way in invading the 68th Dutch float parade

Animation has no borders, and domestic animation should also go global. On April 25, the 68th Dutch float parade kicked off in Noordwijk, and a large Chinese float decorated with the image of Pleasant Goat and the Great Wall logo also participated in the parade. The professional Pleasant Goat puppet troupe also came to the scene to interact with the audience up close.

It turns out to be "Pleasant Goat"

Among the endless procession of floats, the Pleasant Goat puppet troupe active on the Great Wall of China was particularly eye-catching, and many local people stopped to take photos. A Dutch child said that Pleasant Goat was very cute, and Big Big Wolf was not scary. Another local resident said that he heard that this year is the Chinese Year of the Goat, and he had never been clear about what kind of goat the Chinese goat refers to. Today, he finally understood that it refers to the "Pleasant Goat" (Pleasant Goat) that represents happiness.

Ms. Jian Yuxuan, head of the "Xibao Culture" troupe under Alpha Animation, said that the Netherlands International Parade is an annual grand event. This year coincides with the Chinese Lunar Year of the Goat, and it is also the first time that Chinese animation has landed on the parade. Therefore, Alpha Animation and Culture Group and the puppet theater attach great importance to this performance. They rehearsed repeatedly two months in advance, striving to achieve the best performance effect, show the vitality of Pleasant Goat, and bring happiness with Chinese elements to the Dutch people!

Anime and cartoons transcend borders

Dutch people like "Lazy Sheep"

According to reports, this performance is a continuation of this year's "Famous Sheep Around the World" puppet show. The story is that after the Green Grassland Dance Competition, the champion team of sheep went on a tour abroad. The first stop was the Netherlands, to bring the joy from China to more good friends.

Zhang Xiaoping, the on-site director, said that this was the first time that the Pleasant Goat Puppet Troupe had come to Europe, and it was unexpectedly so popular: many Dutch people at the scene became fans, and several children were inseparable during the float parade. Some Dutch people said that it was the first time they felt that puppets could express different personalities and moods, and they found it very novel. What's interesting is that the local people have a special liking for the "cute" expression of Lazy Goat, and his appearance rate on camera even exceeded that of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.

The Netherlands' float parade is world-famous. It is a celebration event established to promote the flower and tourism industries. This year is the 68th. This year coincides with the 10th anniversary of the birth of China's Pleasant Goat and the Chinese Year of the Goat. The large-scale Pleasant Goat float supported by the Chinese Embassy in the Netherlands and participated by Alpha Animation also participated in the parade.
