The famous story “The Little Match Girl” by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen has been made into a 3D cartoon by Vietnamese filmmakers.  

The short cartoon by True - D Animation, a newly established cartoon studio in Vietnam, is in the final stages of production and expected to be released in time for the coming Christmas holidays.

The cartoon's trailer has been posted on the internet and has received many comments due to its real-life graphics.

The character of the little girl, rendered lively with big, round eyes and an innocent face, goes on an adventure on a chilly Christmas night in Northern Europe in the 19th century.

A project member said the team has studied 3D film-making techniques on the internet to make the six-minute cartoon.

"During the filmmaking process, we searched the internet to gain essential knowledge and then shared this with each others," said director Doan Trong Hai.

"What we are most delighted with is that we have been able to create very realistic characters who move in a natural way."
