Five Films to Fall for Donghua五部电影入坑

No episode commitments, no genre homework: five features, each a different answer to what Chinese animation can be. Watch one a night and by the weekend you will have argued with someone about at least two of them.

  1. The Legend of Hei罗小黑战记

    2019 · 2D animation · Released

    Night one: a cat spirit road movie with world-class 2D action and an all-ages heart.

  2. Big Fish & Begonia大鱼海棠

    2016 · 2D animation · Released

    Night two: a decade-in-the-making fantasy about debts between worlds, gorgeous and divisive.

  3. Chang An长安三万里

    2023 · 3DCG animation · Released

    Night three: Tang dynasty poetry as a three-hour historical epic; bring tissues for the Li Bai recitals.

  4. Deep Sea深海

    2023 · 3DCG animation · Released

    Night four: ink-particle rendering invented for one film about a girl lost at sea. Nothing else looks like it.

  5. I Am What I Am雄狮少年

    2021 · 3DCG animation · Released

    Night five: no gods, no qi, just lion dancing and a migrant kid's stubbornness. Donghua's realist proof.
