The series
A detective franchise, built for the world.
A rabbit detective and his hedgehog assistant solve case after case from their office at Knight Street No.9, unraveling the mysteries of animal society one client at a time.
Developed as a national co-production with the China International Communications Group (CICG), the characters are engineered with built-in franchise DNA — designed from day one to travel across publishing, toys, cultural goods and education. The audio drama has already passed 100 million cumulative plays on Ximalaya ahead of the animated premiere.
The AI craft
One look, thirteen episodes.
Premium animated series live and die on consistency — a lead has to read as the same character across every episode. Knight Street No.9 is produced on StarTrail Phoenix AI™, whose industrialized imaging pipeline holds a single art direction and character design stable from episode 1 to 13, at a fraction of the per-frame cost of conventional animation.
