Xiao Kedou Zhao Mama
Where is Mama
小蝌蚪找妈妈
The narrated film describes the adventures and misadventures of a group of tadpoles in search of their mother. It is one of Te Wei's first attempts to break away from Western style animation and aim for a painterly style influenced by Qi Baishi and more in keeping with native Chinese aesthetic sensibilities.

The cutest of Wei works. I always thought the narration sucks, and it's not only because I know jack shit of Chinese, but because no one should learn a language to appreciate what the short puts forth here. It's the type of work that begs for pure visual storytelling, something Silly Symphonies would effortlessly do to perfection. Unfortunately, due to the purposeful homage to Qi Baishi's masterful painting style, it ends up too stylized to allow the visuals to guide the narrative. Oddly enough, in his final work and magnum opus Wei is somehow capable of doing just that, in a fashion where no discernibleforms are necessary to instill thoughts and feelings. Anyway, still an interesting project. Apparently children can learn words through this, so more power to them.
