Little 8th Route Army (Chinese: 小八路) is a Chinese animated puppet film. It is also referred to as "Little 8th Route Heroes" and "Small 8th Route Army".

Background

The film was produced and released under the term of chairman Mao Zedong when the cultural revolution was still ongoing. The plot backdrop is based on the National Revolutionary Army's 8th Route Army division, when it was under the control of Communist Party of China instead of the opposing Kuomintang. Despite numerous movie adaptations, this is the only animation piece ever produced on the subject. A story book was also released as a companion to the film.

The story took place during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The imperial Japanese army entered a northern village in China where young Huzi (虎子) was involved in the anti-Japanese movement. His sister was taken as part of the village sweep. Huzi went on the revenge and was rescued by an 8th Route Army chief named Yang. After Huzi and the party restored the grain supplies and went on the offensive against the Japanese forces. Eventually Huzi himself was admitted to the 8th Route division [Star000.
