"When we screened the original film in Hong Kong in December, we felt it had to have Chinese dubbing if we want to make an equal impact on the Chinese public," says Seligmann, explaining the reason to launch a Chinese-dubbed version of the film.
He reveals there will be Season Two.
"Nature doesn't need people. People need nature"－the line that appears at the end of every two-minute episode－is certainly poignant.
"At first glance, it's a little difficult for me to accept that hard truth," says Pu, the veteran actor who dubs the role of the Redwood.
"However, when I saw the powerful scenario and tried to find the right tone speaking for great nature, I felt the judgment was no exaggeration. Our participation in this project was like an atonement. We human beings have always strived to make better living conditions for ourselves, but at the cost of damaging nature.
Actress Jiang Wenli, who gives voice to Mother Nature, also found it was not an easy job. She says it is "the greatest role in her career".
The first episode of the Mandarin version was released via one of China's main online video platforms, iQiyi.com, on April 8. A new episode will be broadcast every week. Some lines are slightly changed from the original version to appeal to Chinese audiences.
