The new Shanghai Animation Space began trial operations last Friday at 618 Wanhangdu Road, Jing'an district — the original site of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio.
The new Shanghai Animation Space, previously the Shanghai Animation Film Studio (SAFS), began trial operations last Friday.
Revered as the cradle of Chinese animation, SAFS was established on the site in 1957. The SAFS subsequently produced classics such as The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven, Nezha Conquers the Dragon King and Where Is Mama?, giving rise to the world-renowned Chinese School of Animation.
Located at 618 Wanhangdu Road in Shanghai's Jing'an district, the new space hosts an exhibition that chronicles the history of SAFS, presents contemporary artistic reinterpretations of iconic animated characters, and offers an XR immersive experience based on The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven.

According to Wang Jun, chairperson of the Shanghai Film Group (SFG), the Shanghai Animation Space will focus on original content creation, digital technology, IP operations and talent development, aiming to build a full-cycle animation industry ecosystem.
At Thursday's launch ceremony, SAFS and JD Technology announced a strategic partnership to co-develop interactive, IP-driven smart hardware powered by JD's JoyAI platform.
Also unveiled at the launch was the 16K Ultra-HD Lab, designed by Shanghai Film Group, BOE Technology Group and Jing'an Capital to advance ultra-high-definition imaging and next-generation content production.

"The opening of the Shanghai Animation Space marks a major step in safeguarding China's animation heritage while building a comprehensive industrial ecosystem," Wang said.
"It arrives at a pivotal moment as we approach the 70th anniversary of SAFS next year."
