In the modern life with doubled pressure, the "healing system" has emerged as a way for people to seek spiritual relief, spiritual satisfaction, and pure self. Healing animations often have a direct impact on people's hearts, providing viewers with profound emotional resonance and emotional comfort. With the development of the animation industry and the increasing diversity of audience demands, animations from various countries have begun to explore the theme of "healing". Healing themed animations from various countries use unique narrative styles, combined with their own social, cultural, and aesthetic orientations, centered around everyday themes, adopting a small to big approach to introduce equal communication between characters, thereby redeeming each other, providing comfort and encouragement, and constructing new aesthetic orientations.
