This is the first animated film of New China. The film depicts Chiang Kai-shek, with the support of American imperialism, launching a civil war, but ultimately failing under the blows of the people's power, becoming a turtle in a jar. The film cleverly employs exaggeration to sharply ridicule Chiang Kai-shek's opposition to the people and his inevitable defeat. The animation design is innovative, dynamic, and fast-paced, showcasing considerable artistic achievement. This film is only ten minutes long, produced by ten comrades from the Art Department of Dongying, who spent 153 days creating 8,370 original drawings, 85 backgrounds, 8,196 colored drawings, 8,226 inked drawings, and shooting 2,431 feet of film. After its release, the film was warmly received by audiences. According to historical records, when audiences saw the People's Liberation Army driving the Chiang bandit troops out of the liberated areas in the animated film "Catching a Turtle in a Jar," and witnessed Chiang Kai-shek being captured alive by the People's Liberation Army with his neck stretched out, they laughed uproariously and applauded incessantly. The film's director and designer was Japanese friend Mr. Mochinaga Tadahito, who completed the filming under extremely difficult production conditions using recycled film stock.
