(TSXV:FSW), the "Company", is pleased to announce that, with the record-breaking opening of the fourth movie of the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" animation series "Mission Incredible: Adventures on the Dragon's Trail" (the "Movie") in China, the Company's "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" official online store and Taobao flagship store have broken through the benchmark 1,000 online orders per day this month, only after two months of the stores' opening.
The Movie grossed RMB 20 million (approx. C$3.2 million) on its debut day in the box office. It surpassed the record of the previous "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" movie and set a new first-day box office record for a Chinese animated movie. The Movie is distributed by The Walt Disney Company.

"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf," also known as "XiYangYang," is the No.1 cartoon series in China. In 2010, the third animated movie derived from the series broke the domestic box office record for a Chinese produced animated movie.
"This is a very strong start for us in 2012. The growth of e-commerce in China is phenomenal, and it becomes an essential sales channel for both international and local brands," says Tony Lau, CEO of Fireswirl, "and will directly benefit Fireswirl's growth strategy."
