Freely invoking an asthma attack or seizure, the series centered on how Scott felt "weird" immediately before and during his werewolf transformation.Īlthough he never hurt anybody while he was a werewolf, Scott was conscious of his difference from other teenagers and had to make accommodations for himself. (In the film the town was called 'Beacontown'.) Scott was an only child who lived with his father in the film, the cartoon gave him a little sister and grandparents.ĭespite the youth audience, the cartoon series delivered very powerful critiques of disability as civil rights. Scott Howard and his family now live in the fictional town of Wolverton, a small town constantly drawing tourists because of its history of werewolf sightings. While generally keeping true to the main ideas, this version made some changes from the film. The series is about a teenage boy and his family who can transform into werewolves, focusing on themes of coming of age and fitting in. It was based on the 1985 live-action film, Teen Wolf. The main figures of the movement are now either in prison or awaiting trial, or on the run abroad.ĭozens of groups civil society organizations, including many trade unions, have disappeared.Teen Wolf, known as The Cartoon Adventures of Teen Wolf in the United Kingdom, is an animated television series broadcast from 1986 to 1987 that was produced by Southern Star/Hanna-Barbera Australia in association with Clubhouse Pictures in the first season and Atlantic/ Kushner-Locke in the second season.

Until recently, Hong Kong was a bastion of free speech in China and was home to a vibrant and critical publishing sector.īut Beijing unleashed a broad political crackdown in the city in response to the massive and at times violent protests that took place in 2019.
“Rather than to be seditious (the books) recount courageous acts for a just cause,” said Sidney Ng.Īmnesty International, who recently left Hong Kong due to the national security law, described these sentences as “an absurd example of relentless repression”. “Once (children) have internalized this state of mind, the seed of instability will be sown,” he insisted.īut the defendants maintained that the books told “the story from the perspective of the people” and were intended to help children understand the systemic injustices in society. On Saturday, the judge said he There was evidence that fear, hatred and dissatisfaction were, through these books, instilled in the minds of children. Prosecutors had argued that the picture books displayed “anti-Chinese sentiment” and were intended to “incite readers' hatred of mainland Chinese authorities”. Sidney Ng, 27, said through his lawyer that the lawsuits “had (the effect of) intimidating civil society and alienating Hong Kongers each other”. “My only regret is that I was not able to publish more books before I was arrested”, she said in court. Melody Yeung, 28, even assured that she still hoped to be on the side of the sheep. On Saturday, facing Judge Kwok Wai-kin, who once again called the posts a “brainwashing exercise”, three of the five speech therapists said they had no regrets. In another, wolves are depicted as being dirty and bringing disease to the sheep village. In one such book, titled “Defenders of the Sheep Village”, a group of wolves attempt to occupy a village of sheep, who fight back. The books were published in 2020, just a year after the movement's huge, often violent protests.
The five speech therapists had decided to publish three picture books for young readers with the aim of explaining the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.
The group could be released in 31 days after deduction of the sentence already served, one of their lawyers estimated on Saturday. Lai Man-ling, Melody Yeung, Sidney Ng, Samuel Chan and Fong Tsz-ho, all founding members of the speech therapists' union behind these books, have been detained for more than a year before the trial. They had been found guilty of “sedition” on Wednesday, under a law inherited from British colonization and used by current authorities to stifle dissent alongside the national security law imposed by Beijing in 2020. Five Hong Kongers were sentenced to 19 months in prison on Saturday for publishing children's books portraying local pro-democracy supporters as sheep defending their village from wolves believed to represent Beijing.
