The film depicts a girl sculpting a fox and then a lovely porcelain doll. The fox becomes jealous and lures the doll out to play in the wilderness. During a storm, the clay doll runs into a trash bin, where it is bullied by the garbage. Fortunately, the girl retrieves the clay doll, repaints it, and fires it into an even more beautiful and adorable porcelain doll that can withstand wind and rain. This is a film combining puppetry and live-action. The various porcelain sculptures in "Porcelain Doll" are all molded from Gaoling clay from Jingdezhen, the world-renowned porcelain capital, and fired with high-temperature colored glazes. Sometimes several firings were required for a single action, and the protagonist porcelain doll alone required 192 different poses to be fired. The director and animators used "overlapping" and "substitution" techniques to film various movements on the same porcelain sculpture, combined with cinematic montage, enabling the jointless porcelain doll not only to move, stand, walk, and gesture, but also to sing and dance. This represented a new exploration in the history of Chinese animated films.
