Family-friendly Chinese animation（动画片） One Small Step has been nominated（提名） for Best Animated Short Film（最佳动画短片） at the 91st Academy Awards（奥斯卡金像奖）, which will be held in Los Angeles on Feb 24.

"We are very excited. It’s very unexpected. We didn't feel that we would be shortlisted（入围） or nominated. This piece of news is a very big surprise for us. Now all the production staff（全体职员） are cheering for the nomination," said Zhang Hande, chairman of the film’s producer, Taiko（太崆动漫） Studios.

The seven-minute story highlights（强调） the bonds of family and the pursuit（追求） of dreams. It follows the touching story of a Chinese girl named Luna who dreams of becoming an astronaut（宇航员）.

Her cobbler（鞋匠） father often gives her moon-patterned boots（飞天靴） on her birthday, as a way to show his support for his daughter.

As Luna grows up, she tries to realize her dream, but continues to fail. She also has to cope with（应对） the death of her father.

She falls into a depression（沮丧）, before one day, entering her father's studio, she sees the boots he made for her. This lifts her spirits, and she eventually（最终） becomes an astronaut.

"The animation draws inspirationfrom the lives of Chinese female astronauts Liu Yang and Wang Yaping," Zhang said.

"With lovely design and sentimental（情感的） themes familiar to fans of modern Disney（迪士尼） or Pixar（皮克斯）, this touching project has a lot of appeal （诉求）for animation-lovers of all ages," said film critic（评论家） Jason Sondhi.

Zhang together with his son Zhang Shaofu, CEO of the studio, opened Taiko Studios in 2017 in Wuhan city, Central China's Hubei Province.

Zhang Shaofu has studied animation since he was a child. He established（创建） the studio in his hometown because "Wuhan is developing very fast. There are many animation-related industries thriving（兴盛） there, it can recruit（招募） excellent animation talents, and the cost of starting a business is also relatively（相对地） low.”

The studio comprises（包括） two teams from Los Angeles and China, and the two teams collaborate（合作） via(（通过） the Internet.
