Manou the Swift, a German-produced animated adventure film starring the voices of Kate Winslet and Willem Dafoe, hit the big screen in China Saturday.

Also known as Birds of a Feather, the film tells of an adopted swift named Manou who grows up believing he is a seagull like his parents.

Manou strives to swim, fish and fly like a seagull and fails. When both seagulls and swifts get into trouble, Manou fights heroically - combining the traits of an inventive swift and courageous seagull.

Manou the Swift is the first animated feature film made by Germany-based LUXX Studios, which is best known for its visual effects in The Grand Budapest Hotel, White House Down and Independence Day: Resurgence.
