The zany adventure of a boy and his friendly alien dog from Stephen Chow's 2008 hit sci-fi comedy CJ7 continues on in an animated sequel and we've got your first look with a batch of screen shot images. As mention before, Hong Kong director Toe Yuen, who previously directed the first two animated installment of the McDull franchise is helming the project while Chow served as the producer. Most of the original cast is back to provide the Mandarin voice dialogue except for Chow. Despite 3D being a hot trend nowadays, especially in animation, Chow opted for the traditional 2D format, saying a wonderful story is more important in attracting an audience than just visual effects.

Its set to hit mainland China theaters on July 6th. You'll find a gallery of stills below.
