‘Kung Fu Panda 3’ Studio Sets Global Release for ‘All Wishes Come True!’

Pearl Studio‘s animated comedy “All Wishes Come True!” will expand into international markets this summer following its July 24 China debut.

Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea will get the film first, on Aug. 13, with the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland and the Netherlands following on Aug. 14. Belgium and Luxembourg round out the rollout on Sept. 4.

Pearl Studio, whose credits include “Kung Fu Panda 3,” “Abominable” and Oscar nominee “Over the Moon,” produced the film alongside CMC Pictures. It is written and directed by Mu Zhengyang and produced by Cao Linlin.

“All Wishes Come True!” reimagines the Chinese folk tale “The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea” as a mythological comedy. The story follows eight ordinary mortals, beginning with Lü Dongbin and Zhongli Quan, who disguise themselves as immortals in a bid to break into a legendary vault. Along the way, they recruit six more companions – He Xiangu, Tieguai Li, Han Xiangzi, Cao Guojiu, Lan Caihe and Zhang Guolao – and confront a conspiracy that threatens the balance between the mortal and immortal worlds.

Su Hang, who won a Hong Kong Film Award for “The Shadow’s Edge,” designed the film’s action sequences, while Chen Hao, whose credits include “Ne Zha,” directed the voice cast.

The release comes as Chinese animation continues to build momentum internationally. “Ne Zha 2” has taken in upwards of $2.2 billion globally, and the sector’s overseas revenue reached $9.3 billion in 2025.

Based in Beijing, Pearl Studio operates as CMC Inc.’s animation arm and ranks among China’s biggest and best-known animation houses internationally. Beyond “Kung Fu Panda 3,” “Abominable” and “Over the Moon,” the studio is developing multiple original animated features drawing on traditional Chinese culture for global audiences.

CMC Pictures serves as CMC Inc.’s film division, covering development, production, investment, marketing and distribution. The company entered international distribution in 2016 and has since released some 120 films worldwide, including the “Wandering Earth,” “Ne Zha” and “Detective Chinatown” franchises, along with “Ip Man 4” and “A Writer’s Odyssey,” across a network spanning more than 100 countries and 500 cities.
