China Insane Over Animation


China Insane Over Animation



Now, I suppose that this is reasonable, in the sense that they are trying to
encourage locally developed animation (though I don't I don't see why the ban
only applies to mixed live-action/animation shows and movies).
However, I suspect that insanity may be at the heart of this ban, as seen with an earlier edict:
Chinese regulatory authorities are notoriously skittish regarding broadcast and film themes that include the supernatural or fantasy, including talking animals. "Babe" was banned on the basis that animals can't talk and some viewers would be confused.
