Wang Film Production Company

Wang Film Production Company (宏廣股份有限公司 in traditional Chinese) is a company that did animation production for the 1985–1986 animated television series Ewoks.

Wang Film was founded in 1978 as Cuckoos' Nest by James Wang in Taipei, Taiwan, with the intention of developing a local cartoon industry given the domination of Japanese studios and rising production costs in the United States. The company took on original equipment manufacture (OEM) contracts from American and European animation productions, including Hanna-Barbera's The Smurfs and The Flintstones in the 1980s and The Walt Disney Company's 1998 film Mulan, by which point Wang Film had also begun producing for the local Taiwan market and employed animators in mainland China and Thailand.
