Since it's the first, perhaps it's expected we go with
expectations set real low? Check. But it's really, not good. The
animation is rather coarse (ok, so you're telling me we cannot
compare with Pixar?), and looks like it's straight out of a bad
blocky videogame. There are certain sequences that looked like a
cheap ripoff of old puppetry techniques, though I'd like to think
of it as an excuse that the filmmakers were being lazy, or in a
rush to finish this in time for the lunar new year.
