It has not only improved itself from simple puppetry performances toward the comprehensive children’s entertainment industry, but formed a children’s cultural industrial chain that integrates performances, film and television, cartoons, books, toys, food and drink, and realized the chain-store operations of the “Puppet Castle” all around China.
