The Wan Brothers (Chinese: 萬氏兄弟) were born in the early 20th century in Nanjing, China.[1] They became the founders and pioneers of the Chinese animation industry[2] and made the first Asian animation feature-length film, Princess Iron Fan in 1941.[3]

This is the earliest known photo of 3 of the Wan brothers: Laiming, GuChan and ChaoChen. The pamphlet is made after 1941, since the cartoon character on the front is from Princess Iron Fan. They are promoted as 卡通作家 or Cartoon Creators
