help White Snake: Afloat FAQ
Is White Snake: Afloat the third movie in the series?
Yes, it's the third feature in Light Chaser Animation's White Snake trilogy, following White Snake (2019) and White Snake 2: Green Snake (2021). Afloat was released in 2024 and returns to the story of Xiaobai and Xiaoqing.
Do I need to watch the earlier White Snake films before Afloat?
You'll get the most out of it after the 2019 film, since Xu Xian is the reincarnation of A Xuan from that movie. Green Snake (2021) follows Xiaoqing's separate storyline, so Afloat directly picks the sisters' shared thread back up.
Which studio made White Snake: Afloat?
It was made by Light Chaser Animation, the Beijing studio also known for the New Gods films like New Gods: Nezha Reborn. They've become China's most prominent studio for animated features in this style.
Is White Snake: Afloat based on the Legend of the White Snake?
Yes, it adapts the classic Chinese folk tale, with Xiaobai and Xu Xian marrying in Hangzhou during the Southern Song Dynasty, opening the Baoan Hall medicine shop, and drawing the attention of the monk Fahai. It's essentially the studio's full telling of the traditional legend with its established characters.
