One of the most popular manhua in Hong Kong was "Old Master Q". The characters were converted into cartoon forms as early as 1981, followed by numerous animation adaptations including a widescreen DVD release in 2003. While the publications remained legendary for decades, the animations have always been considered more of a fan tribute. And this is another sign that newer generations are further disconnected with older styled characters. Newer animations like "My Life as McDull" has also been introduced to expand on the modern trend.
