The film opened the 22nd Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in July, and went on to win the best animation award at the Silk Road International Film Festival in China in October.
Directors Lee Chun-baek and Oh Sung-yoon produced an animated film titled “Leafie, a Hen into the Wild” in 2011, which sold more than 2.2 million tickets -- another record for the Korean animated film industry.
“Underdog” hit local theaters on Wednesday.
