  I’m half Chinese and seeing the Voice Actor able to pronounce everything in Mandarin correctly just proves how good this channel is.

  Imagine if it was Australia who had invented the lunar zodiac, we&apos;d have a Year of the Kangaroo, Year of the Koala, Year of the Platypus, Year of the Wombat....

  Long ago, the twelve zodiacs lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Jade Emperor, master of all five elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished..

  My favorite story about the zodiac was not mentioned: The cat also got an invitation for the race. Because it is sleeping all day, it asked it´s friend the mouse to wake it up on time. The mouse, knowing that the cat would make it through the river faster than itself, said yes, but did not do it. The result: The cat got up too late and did not make it into the circle. Ever since then, it resents the mouse and catches it whenever it can.

  Love how the dog just frolicked and doesn&apos;t seem to care about his or her place in the race.

  Anyone else remember hearing about how the mouse tricked the cat so that it could take place instead of the cat.
