With dreams bigger than his small stature, a rural rabbit named Robb hurls himself in pursuit of his province’s biggest prize, a storied ‘Jade Table’ awarded annually to the finest ping pong player in the land. Standing in his path is the fact that rabbits don’t play ping pong, and the province’s perennial champion is a ruthless monkey who uses the Jade Table to amass power and wealth, with no plans to relinquish either. Robb must prove that rabbits will no longer run scared, and that his improbable ping pong dreams will change not only his future, but also the fate of his entire province.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This marks one of the few China-US animated co-productions where both directors have Oscar-nominated stop-motion backgrounds—Song with Monkey King: Hero Is Back and Johnson with Coraline.
The film weaponizes China's actual ping pong dominance into narrative class warfare, making the rabbit's victory a weird allegory for rural uprising against urban elite—accidentally or not.
