The fact that it's an American 3D animation is just icing on the cake, or kick in the groin, depends on how you see it. The Chinese movie industry or whoever can bitch and moan all they want, but I just can't envision a movie such as this been made in China with equal amount of style and honesty. Based on all the Chinese cartoons and 3D animation works I've seen, we just don't have the talent, or the technology, or the originality, and focus way too much on the superficial.
