"Capsule Project" episode "Ultimate Experience", presenting the audience with a strange and fantastic "national style cyber" story. The film is jointly produced by Pinta Studios, a well-known company in the VR/AR field, and "Zhu Laober", who once served as the art director of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage". The story takes live broadcast as a carrier and tells the story of terminally ill patients who can realize consciousness and feel with the protagonist boy through a small capsule. Under the temptation of money, the boy gradually loses himself and chooses to have the "ultimate experience". In order to save the child, the mother invited a "Saibo Taoist priest" to exorcise evil spirits.

In addition, "Hyst" and "World" are also the most popular animated short films in this series. "Hyst" is directed by Cai Yuanqing. He previously won the Best Short Film of the 15th FIRST Youth Film Festival for his animated short film "Mu Guan Mu Cai". He was also nominated for the 48th Annie Award and was shortlisted for important international animation film festivals such as the 2021 Anxi International Animation Festival and the British Academy of Film Award.
In "Hyst", you can see Cai Yuanqing's consistent image style. He presented the social phenomenon of domestic violence through the hallucinations of a man after he was drunk in just 12 minutes. In the animation, in the eyes of a drunk man, the puddles turn into bottomless deep sea, the frightened wife and children turn into mice wearing slippers, and the whole room is constantly rotating and folding, and the tones of red or gray render the horrifying atmosphere to the extreme.

Through exquisite pictures, the film shows the story of how the intern assistant Li Wei faced the life and death coercion of the artificial intelligence system, how to survive in a desperate situation, and explores the balance of technology and human nature.
, these creative animation short films have also allowed many viewers to see the hope of domestic animation.
Netizen "Rebirth of the Moonfall" said: "A detailed look at the domestic animations that have a bit of voice in recent years, "The Return of the Great Sage", "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", "White Snake: The Origin", etc., almost all of them use the traditional character IP for secondary creation. The 'Capsule Plan' has given me the hope of experimental, pioneering and innovative original animations in China." (Pictures are from the official poster)
