Synopsis

Seven brothers with extraordinary abilities take on demons to rescue their family in this paper-cut animated series from Shanghai Animation Film Studio. Each brother brings a different strength, making their battles a story about both individual gifts and the need to work together. Calabash Brothers offers an entry into a distinctive branch of Chinese animation, with bold cutout characters and a folk-tale adventure built around courage, ingenuity, and sibling solidarity.
