South Korean animation nominally began with a commercial for Lucky Toothpaste in 1956. However, it is usually agreed that it really began with the production of ''Hong Gil-dong'', the country's first animated feature by Shin Dong Woo of the Shin Dong Hyun brothers (S. Korea's answer to Walt and Roy Disney).

South Korea finally entered the world of first color animation feature with the release of ''Hong Gil-dong'', produced by Seki Production and directed by Shin Dong-Heon on January 21, 1967. Adapted from the ''Hong Gil-dong the Hero'' comic strip by Shin Dong-won, ''Hong Gil-dong'' achieved tremendous success during its initial premiere in 1967. The film's success sparked public interest in S. Korean animation. Though after one more film, the Shin brothers' success ended due to a dispute with their distributor.
