    > How many good mainland Chinese animated films can anyone name?

    Lucky Dragon (2009): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5269384/

    Absolutely fantastic. But, like with any movie industry, you need to look for pearls as the majority is mediocre. New Chinese animations are very dynamic in terms of graphics, but often the plot falls behind. It's the same with feature movies.
