这是一个食物世界，美食拥有生命。在这里，面点一族经常受到咸鱼海盗的袭扰。包强（Super Bao）是个牛肉馅的少年包子，他一直梦想着成为先祖那样的英雄将领，却只能在后勤船“蒸盒号（Steamer）”上打杂。某天，舰队在风暴中遭遇海盗，战舰全被摧毁，只剩下蒸盒号了。在保护蒸盒号的过程中，包强遇上了海盗的雇佣武士寿司武藏（Salmon）。鲜热的包子与生冷的寿司，两个不共戴天的死敌却因发现了海盗的惊天秘密被迫凑成一盘，从此肩负起了重任。

这就是电影《美食大冒险》（Kung Food）所要讲述的冒险故事，蕴含深厚的美食文化传统，同时构思又令人耳目一新。故事中的角色皆由各色美食担任，甚至连场景的设置也离不开食物。至今，它已播出三季动画片，收获了广泛好评，其创作团队更是将它升级成3D电影打入了国际市场，并将于明年暑期档在全球上映。同学们是不是很期待？那么快来看看这个团队背后的故事吧！

CE: What inspired you to connect traditional food with kung fu?

疯狂英语：你们是怎么想到把美食与功夫结合在一起的？

Yi: Ten years ago, someone asked how to make a model for Baozi on the net. Director Sun (below as Sun) felt it quite interesting and made one by himself. At the very beginning, it was just for fun, and to pay tribute to his idol Bruce Lee and Jay Chou.1)Unnoticeably, Baozi VS Sushi and Baozi Dragon Boxing2)clips have mixed food and kung fu all together perfectly.

易动传媒：十年前，有人在网上询问包子的模型该怎么做，孙海鹏导演觉得很有趣，于是便自己做了一个包子模型。一开始他只是为了好玩，也是为了向他的偶像李小龙和周杰伦致敬。但在不经意间，随着《包子VS寿司侠》与《包子龙拳》等短篇的不断推出，美食和功夫就这样完美融合在了一起。

CE: What’s the biggest challenge during the adventure?

Meanwhile,their evil enemy even got magic powers, making them an even more powerful5)gang.

易动传媒：包强他们遭遇到的最大危机就是《女娲食谱》被意外烧毁。“蒸盒号”不得不重新启航，历经五大洲60多个国家，方得重补这部圣典。期间，他们的敌人还得到了魔力，成为战无不胜的飞天海盗团。

CE: What is Bao’s enemies’ purpose? To eat Bao and his friends?

疯狂英语：包强他们的敌人的最终目的是不是要吃掉他们？

易动传媒：在美食世界里，每一个角色本身都是非常美味的食物！就算是包强他们最大的死敌——悲剧海盗，其实也是好吃的比目鱼呢！美食世界里有自己的生态食物链，因而食物间很少有互相吃掉的想法。
