Trang Quynh Nhi: The legend of Kim Nguu, Vietnam's first 3D animated feature film to premiere in commercial cinemas, has officially locked in its nationwide release date of May 30, 2025 - the same day as Mission: Impossible 8, Tom Cruise’s blockbuster with a reported budget of over 10,000 billion VND (approximately 400 million USD).

After one and a half years in production, Trang Quynh Nhi released its first teaser trailer, immersing viewers in the nostalgic setting of Khoai village and introducing the witty and mischievous young boy Trang Quynh.

The 46-second trailer follows Quynh, his magical companion Buffalo, and his loyal friends - Coi Nhi, Bi Map, and Muoi - as they face escalating dangers and are pursued relentlessly by palace guards.

Teasers hint at a high-stakes, adventurous journey that challenges the group’s courage, unity, and self-discovery. The story conveys meaningful life lessons, encouraging young audiences to embrace differences and the value of standing together in adversity.

Inspired by the beloved folk character Trang Quynh - famous in Vietnamese oral traditions - the film reinvents him as a brave and sincere boy with sharp intellect, embarking on fresh cinematic challenges.

Director Trinh Lam Tung recreates a richly detailed rural northern Vietnamese backdrop, complete with iconic banyan trees, lotus ponds, village temples, and communal courtyards.

The unique partnership between Quynh and a mystical buffalo draws from the legend of the Kim Nguu deity and reflects the deep-rooted bond between Vietnamese farmers and their buffaloes - companions in both labor and daily life.
