Legend of Eight Immortals WIP + FILM ENGLISH FANSUBS

Added 2024-01-10 23:22:47 +0000 UTC

So, people who follow me on social medias for a while would know I also like to do fansubbing for various older Chinese historical media, namely films.

Over the Christmas, I've subbed yet another film for fun, this time a movie called "Legend of the Eight Immortals" or 八仙的传说, about the titular Eight Immortals, or Xian.

Out of all the ones so far, this is probably my favourite. Just a jolly family/kids movie about fun anarchistic trickster demigods pulling pranks on bullies. If you've seen some old-school Shanghai animations, or more fittingly some of the older non-American live-action kids media from the 70s-80s like some of BBC's old TV productions, or Astrid Lindgren adaptations, this is very reminiscent in the style of those.

I also drew this poster('s WIP version), one part because I liked the movie but also since tbh the two actual official posters that exist are kinda jank hahaha.
But I also got perhaps a little too impatient, so I wanted to share it to you guys first. I will put up the full film up to everyone with the finished poster too some later time.
