Go After an Easy Prey (Chinese: 瓮中捉鳖) is a Chinese animated film in black and white from 1948. It is also referred to as "Turtle Caught in a Jar".

The film is believed to be more of a documentary view of China's civil war in the 1940s when Chiang Kai-shek was considered to be favored and aided by U.S imperialism. He was metaphorically described as trapped like a turtle by the People's Liberation Army [Mtime. " [http://www.mtime.com/movie/44288/ Mtime] ." "Go after an Easy Prey." Retrieved on 2007-01-18.] . This is possibly China's first use of animation directly as a propaganda tool.weasel-inline
