The Magic Gourd (VCD) (Hong Kong Version) VCD

A mix of live-action and CG animation, Disney's first Chinese film The Magic Gourd comes with a pint-sized hero: a cute, bumbling wish-granting gourd. Based on a children's book by Tianyi, The Magic Gourd was jointly produced by Disney and special effects house Centro, which virtually put special effects on the map for Hong Kong with their work in Storm Riders, A Man Called Hero, and Kung Fu Hustle. Centro founder John Chu even helped co-direct the film with Frankie Chung. Following the tried-and-true arc of mischievous children, magical creatures, and gentle life lessons, The Magic Gourd is a well-meaning children's film that satisfies its target audience and amuses the adults who tag along. Hong Kong star Gigi Leung appears as a teacher, and Lau Ching Wan voices the gourd for the Cantonese version of The Magic Gourd.

After listening to his grandmother's fairy tale about a gourd that can grant your every wish, restless schoolboy Wang Bo (Zhu Qilong) finds a magical gourd of his own in his dreams. The little walking gourd with dewy eyes dutifully gives Wang Bo everything he asks for, but this causes unexpected troubles for its excited owner. When Wang Bo wants to get in to a dinosaur movie at the theater, the gourd puts him into the movie. When Wang Bo wants free toys, the gourd brings him enough toys to fill his home.

小學生王葆天真活潑、而且充滿想像力！常常幻想有神仙來幫他用魔法解決問題，輕輕鬆鬆成為絕對無敵、地上最強！有一日，王葆在釣魚時偶遇傳說中的萬能神仙小葫蘆，更成為了小葫蘆的主人。小葫蘆對王葆的願望有求必應，自此王葆考試靠斷估，唔辛苦；游水用三成力，已經天下無敵。「有小葫蘆，萬事冇熕惱」！

王葆在學校無論成績、運動樣樣表現突飛猛進，令同學們大吃一驚。但後來卻逐漸發現原來小葫蘆的每個魔法，都會有不良的副作用，而且他用魔法不知分吋，甚至為他惹來一身蟻，麻煩一個接一個！他應否繼續依靠小葫蘆為他創造奇蹟，還是相信自己能夠改變命運？

Wang Bao, a schoolboy who dreams of achieving great things but often lacks the dedication to realize anything.

One day while Wang Bao is fishing at a lake near his home, the mythical Magic Gourd surfaces from the bottom of the pond and Wang's life is changed forever! With his secret personal wish fulfillment being in his pocket, Wang soon transforms from zero to hero as he excels in class and at sports - overwhelming his friends and thus earning the admiration he long desires.

However, Wang soon realizes that having the Magic Gourd may not be as blissful as he thinks, as it soon lands him into a series of hilarious misadventures. When the Gourd's presence continues to turn his world upside down, Wang struggles with a dilemma: Should he continue to rely on the Magic Gourd to satiate his needs, or is he capable to become a hero on his own?
