The animation was produced using Flash technology.
Origin
The work originated with Jia Aihua, who, while tutoring her two- and three-year-old son, struggled with a lack of books and audiovisual products that met his needs. She subsequently created dozens of engaging children's stories, which were well received at her son's kindergarten. Having previously worked in television, Jia Aihua envisioned turning the stories into animations and founded her own animation studio in 1999. However, animation production was prohibitively expensive at the time, and even after raising millions of yuan through fundraising and borrowing, she struggled to sustain the project. An audiovisual production company pledged 3.8 million yuan to co-produce the animation, but Jia Aihua ultimately abandoned the project, believing the investors lacked shared ambition. Jia Aihua later raised over 500,000 yuan by writing stories for kindergarten textbooks, producing musicals, and feature films, which she sold to television stations and publishing houses, allowing her to continue her business. The animated series Project Q Baby was completed in 2002, but was delayed. In 2003, thanks to national support policies, the over 1,000-minute series became a hit. On the eve of October 2005, Project Q Baby reached a cooperation with, with the first publishing fee of 2 million yuan.Book of the same name
