"Paper Man Mischief Chronicle" Directed and animated by the Wan Brothers, produced by Great China Lily Film Company in 1930 (Note: Some sources claim the Wan Brothers independently completed production as early as 1926), and released in 1931. The film depicts a painter working at his desk when suddenly the ink in his ink bottle transforms into a small paper man that jumps out and continuously causes mischief for the painter. Unable to continue his work, the painter gets up to catch the little paper man, eventually capturing it under the bed and stuffing it back into the ink bottle. This film still employed a combination of live-action and animation techniques, with the painter played by Wan Guchan. In terms of animation technique, the film showed advancements compared to contemporary Western cartoons and "The Studio Upheaval." At the time, Western animation was still immature, with characters often depicted in profile and only a few body parts moving. Most cartoons would begin with a character blowing a small bubble from its mouth, which would gradually expand to reveal text inside, lacking substantial plot. In contrast, "Paper Man Mischief Chronicle" focused on embodying the realities of its own national life through character design and movement. Although the storyline was relatively simple, the humorous and witty interactions between the painter and the little paper man had audiences roaring with laughter.
