Much of China's animated films are not just for children; they are a complete family viewing necessity! I say this because - as a lover of animation films (in particular Asian/Eastern Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc) - it/they are a way to escape the cruel reality of the day to day misery of most of the Chinese population.
Having said that this is just top of the shop animation film making (something like the early days of Disney wonders; before they became just another greedy corporate megalomaniac bunch of Board-members and Shareholders).
There is definitely a look/feel of the old Japanese Studio Ghibli approach of animation; animation espionage I call it :) That, in this case, is a good thing though as the 'GHIBLI' studio's were the best animation film producers ever...by far better than Disney. Its got nothing wrong with it at all. Its interesting, engrossing, different, active/lively and pure fun!
China's march towards film domination will soon leave Hollywood trailing far behind, but, as good as they get with every film they will have to be content with sharing the top spot with both japan and South Korea!
