Young mainland singer Zeng Yike (pictured) is to sing the theme song for the animated film The Story of Hongmao and Lantu: Phoenix (虹猫蓝兔火凤凰), which will premiere on Feb 5.
Zeng, who finished eighth in Super Girls, the Chinese version of American Idol, in 2009, wrote the song.
The cartoon has a fan base of millions because of its TV version and tells of the adventures of a blue rabbit and a red cat.
Zeng created a stir when she took part in the Super Girls contest thanks to her voice, which was praised as pure and special by some, but harsh and weird to others. The controversy made her a star anyway. She has released her first album named Forever Road.
The film's director Meng Fan, says he chose Zeng because of her confidence.
