It's funny and very meaningful

surprise! Jackie Chan dubbed "Detective" Niu Junfeng for the animation after a lapse of many years!

The film assigns an Aladdin-style Western myth to the Oriental Dragon. While telling the emotional story of a pair of childhood sweethearts, a boy and a girl, it explains the truth that family affection is more valuable than money and wealth. The film has an excellent look and feel, with humor and touching coexistence, and it is a very good co-production film. Suitable for all ages, I recommend everyone to watch! The film has a strong sense of narrative rhythm, and the subject matter has both Chinese and Western flavors, which is suitable for international dissemination. The emotion of the protagonist and the life experience of Shenlong become two clues, which develop alternately and finally achieve unity. The ending is open and heartwarming.

    It's like an animation taken by the colonists who have occupied the Celestial Empire to the natives. It seems that everyone is trying to replicate the celestial landscape, but the result is the uncanny valley effect, and the more you try to replicate, the more like a zombie. The expressions are Anglo-American, the values ​​are vulgar and childish, and Shenlong's Chinese dialect is closer to the colonists. Watching this, it's better to watch the animation the colonists made of themselves, at least it won't violate the law.

    3/10. In fact, I can give two stars, but I still don't want to wrong myself. The most blunt presentation of Chinese culture, the dragon who makes three wishes is the Dragon Ball... The love between the poor boy and the rich lady has to be talked about several times, it is simply the male version of Cinderella. The pink dragon is so ugly, and it's not enough to sell cute.
