The huge production embraced the most advanced planar and three-dimensional technology. Scenes were completed on the computer rather than being painstakingly hand painted. That helped to reduce the production time.
Stars of Chinese entertainment joined the cast to give voice to the five fuwas and other principal characters. The stars did not comprise the entire cast. Some members of the production crew were asked to lend their voices in supporting roles. The program's executive directors recorded reference voices before actors went into the studio.
The five fuwas were the principal characters of the story. But there were other leading roles too. The Kaku Family, from Beijing TV's Cartoon Channel made their way into the story.
