McDull (traditional Chinese: 麦兜) is a cartoon pig character that was created in Hong Kong by Alice Mak and Brian Tse. Although McDull made his first appearances as a supporting character in the McMug comics, McDull has since become a central character in his own right, attracting a huge following in Hong Kong.
McDull's background
McDull is a male pig who can be distinguished by a birthmark on his right eye. He has a heart of gold, but he isn't very smart and ordinary in every way; nevertheless, he has many dreams. However, every time he tries, he fails; he is disappointed, but tries again, exploring other dreams. In this way he creates his own colourful world. He lives his life simply and naturally. He is not perfect, but his attitude towards life, namely of never giving up, makes him a popular character.
The name McDull actually has a story itself. When Mrs Mak was going to give birth to McDull, she saw a magical plastic basin (pronounced roughly as "dull" in Cantonese) flying over her head. Believing it a sign from the gods, she named her son as "Dull". In Kung Fu Ding ding dong we also find out why he is not smart. When Mcdull was still a baby Ms Mak sent him to a test on the Mozart effect sadly he was put in the control group and listended to what was said as 'nonsense songs' instead of mozart.
[edit] Family of McDull

Before the birth of McDull, his father disappeared and therefore Mrs. Mak had to raise McDull as a single mother. Despite their mutual love, mother and son had many conflicts. Mrs. Mak is a typical Hong Kong mother, expecting her son to get good grades, to enter the University of Hong Kong, and to become a respected professional. McDull tries very hard to fulfill his mother's wishes, but always fails.
Earlier stories suggested that McMug is a distant (probably paternal) cousin of McDull.
[edit] McDull and Excreman
One Christmas day, McDull produced a load of human-shaped dung called Excreman (屎捞人). After giving Excreman a scarf (made out of toilet paper) and a hat (actually a spittoon), he was brought by Excreman to dung-world. There, Excreman shares his wish with him: to become fertilizer for flowers.
When the next morning came, Excreman brought McDull back to his room and went to fulfill his goal. Before leaving, Excreman left a message to McDull: Remember us whenever you see the humblest, the deserted and the despised.
(This story was very loosely based on The Snowman, by Raymond Briggs. Note the similarity of Excreman with South Park's Mr. Hankey, another dung-shaped cartoon character associated with Christmas.)

[edit] Films
My Life as McDull (2001)
The first McDull movie documented his life and the relationship between him and his mother.
As in the comics, McDull is a piglet who lives with his mother, Mrs. Mak, in Hong Kong. He is a kindergarten student. He has a happy school life with his classmates including geese, tortoises and other pigs. McDull and his mum love each other very much. McDull tries his best to make his mother proud of him and his mother tries hard to give McDull a happy childhood.
McDull wanted to go to the Maldives. His mother could not afford a trip there but she tricks him by taking him to The Peak by tram. The tram has a sign "Go to the Maldives". It made McDull very happy as he thought that he was really going to the Maldives.
After realizing his dream, McDull set himself another target: to become an Olympic champion just like female windsurfer Lee Lai Shan.
The McMug Story My Life as McDull is also being translated into French and shown in France. In this version, Mak Bing is the mother of McDull, not his father.
McDull, Prince de la Bun (2004)
The sequel, whose Chinese title was:麦兜菠萝油王子 (lit. McDull, the prince of the pineapple bun with butter), was shown in cinemas in Hong Kong. There was again significant word play in this movie, some of it is based on the "pineapple bun". For example, in slang Cantonese, a "bor lo goi" ("pineapple cap") is colloquial for kneecap. The movie's theme, by the Pancakes, was named Best Original Film Song at the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards.
McDull, The Alumni (2006)
McDull Kung Fu Ding Ding Dong (2009)
[edit] Soundtrack
screenshot from the karaoke DVDIn 2002, the soundtrack of My Life as McDull was released. It was produced by Steve Ho (何崇志)[1], a Hong Kong musician who won Best Original Film Score at the 21st Hong Kong Film Awards. His blend of classical music and "modern" themes in this soundtrack led to a surge of interest in classical music amongst Hong Kong moviegoers.
Notably, McDull's theme song is Turkish Rondo by Mozart set with Cantonese lyrics.
The songs in the movie are also available in a karaoke DVD format.
[edit] Television
McDull and Chinese Culture (2006)
McDull and his fellow nursery pupils featured in five animated RTHK educational episodes running from April 2006 to May 2006. In keeping with the surreal humour of the McDull franchise, the series used humour to make Chinese history and culture accessible. In keeping with RTHK's public service broadcasting remit these episodes (as of July 2007) remain partially available to watch from its website.
The episodes follow the same basic format with McDull and friends being lectured by their headmaster about Chinese culture, before being interrupted by one pupil or the other. The narrator would then answer the pupil's questions with examples from the life of McDull's ancestor Mc Zi ( 麦子, literally wheat. a character sharing the name with 墨子 Mozi, the founder of Mohist order). This is followed by a short history lesson from McDull's teacher Miss Chan, often featuring a Chinese festival. The episode than finishes with the evolution of a Chinese character.
[edit] The episodes
Episode 1 Hygiene and health. Qingming Festival (a much older Mc Dull is seen at the grave of his mother and grand mother)
Episode 2 Building and construction. Mid-Autumn Festival ( the older Mcdull is seen thinking of his heimat from what looks like the Brooklyn bridge
Episode 3 Food and Agriculture. Ghost Festival
Episode 4 Chinese martial arts, medicine, alchemy.
Episode 5 People and what it is to be a modern Chinese child.
