Black Cat Detective (traditional Chinese: 黑貓警長; simplified Chinese: 黑猫警长; pinyin: Hēimāo Jǐngzhǎng) is a Chinese animated television series produced by the Shanghai Animation Film Studio and Soyuzmultfilm. It is sometimes known as Mr. Black. The main character, Black Cat Detective, was created by Zhu Zhixiang (诸志祥).[1]

Background

The series was originally aired from 1984 to 1987. In June 2006, a rebroadcasting of the original series was announced.[2] Critics bemoan the series' violence, and lack of suitability for children's education. Proponents of the show claim that it is merely for entertainment.[3] The show's violence far outweighs that of Tom and Jerry, in that there is frequent use of guns, and blood and gore.

Story

The story takes place in a forest, where the Black Cat Detective wanders around on his motorcycle stopping villains. Cases range from clashing with mice and other characters.[4]

1984 Series

The first version of Black Cat Detective was created in 1984 produced by the Shanghai Animation Film Studio and Soyuzmultfilm. It was directed by Dai Tielang (戴铁郎), who also created the designs for the main character, Black Cat Detective. The series consists of five episodes, each of which are 20 minutes in length.

2010 Series

The digitally restored animated film was released on April 23, 2010, with the general director still Dai Tielang（戴铁郎）. The new movie version is actually a cut from the original 5 episodes of the movie, with dialogue rewritten and dubbed for the times, and the movie theme song sung by Lin Miao Ke(林妙可).[5][6]

2015 Series Animated films

Mr. Black: Green Star has been released in theaters on August 7, 2015.[7]
