After releasing teasers and stirring up curiosity on social media about the mysterious Thai “Xiao Hei” voice, T&B Media Global finally has revealed that the face behind the little black cat voice has been Ink Waruntorn all along. The role of “Xiao Hei” in animated feature film, “The Legend of Hei” is the first time for Thai singer, Ink Waruntorn to dub the voice of an animated cartoon character. The Chinese animated feature film with Thai dubbing will be available only in Thai movie theaters starting March 18, 2021.
Ink Waruntorn is one of the most prominent young artists in Thailand. Known for her signature synth pop music, she recently won 2020 MAMA (Mnet ASIAN MUSIC AWARDS) for the Best Asian Artist Thailand. In an exclusive interview, she said that cartoon character dubbing was one of her childhood dreams that finally came true. In preparation for the role, she carefully studied the original version of the film, the character personalities and even personified “Xiao Hei” and his facial expressions in sync with various scenes while dubbing.
“Xiao Hei” is a shapeshifting black cat which is in fact a boy. Ink, however, is not the first woman to dub him. The original version from China also utilizes the voice of famous voice over actress, Shan Xin, while the Japanese version is dubbed by actress and singer, Kana Hanazawa. Many animated films and TV series widely employ female dubbers to portray young male cartoon characters because their voices sound age appropriate. The blend between “Xiao Hei” and Ink Waruntorn creates a unique character that will make the screening experience different from watching the Chinese and Japanese versions. Apart from the adorable looks and sounds of “Xiao Hei”, “The Legend of Hei” will also give its audience important life lessons through relatable situations and offer a pleasant escape from the overwhelming reality.
T&B Media Global (Thailand) has secured the rights to screen “The Legend of Hei” in Thailand. Now that the lonely wandering is almost over, you can watch “Xiao Hei” searchs for his new home and true friends in Major Cineplex Group and SF Group movie theaters from March 18, 2021 onwards.

I mean, the current one was actually interesting.
Scrolling through, I assumed it was going to be nothing special, but I kept reading.
Could be the structure that feels more natural, even if it’s not too long.
Also, I checked https://zhinochiporady.com a while back and felt kinda the same tone, as if it’s not just SEO content.
A few points felt relatable, and that’s rare.
Also, it wasn’t trying too hard.
So yeah, appreciate this — curious what else is there.
Maybe come back again.

Kinda random but, the current piece turned out surprisingly useful.
First look, I assumed it was going to be same as others, however I kept reading.
I guess it’s the tone that actually works, even if it’s not perfect.
Not directly related but, I checked https://zhinochiporady.com not long ago and got almost the same feeling, like it’s not just SEO content.
Some parts actually made sense, which is something you don’t see often.
Also, it wasn’t annoying to read.
Long story short, good stuff — probably will check more.
Probably see what else you have.
Not gonna lie, this post felt more real than most.
At first, I thought it’d be just another generic post, yet I read till the end.
I guess it’s the way it’s written that feels kinda natural, which is rare.
Also, I came across https://infowomenspace.com/ recently and had that same kind of tone, so maybe it’s just me.
Anyway, appreciate this — curious to read more.
Honestly, this article turned out better than expected.
At first, I didn’t plan to read fully, but I read till the end.
Maybe it’s the tone that isn’t typical copy-paste, which is not that common here.
Also, I checked out https://infowomenspace.com/ recently and felt pretty close in style, so could be coincidence.
In any case, well done — I might come back later.
