Looking forward to new breakthroughs in domestic animated films.

This summer, the animated film "Little Monsters of Langlang Mountain" reached a box office of over ten billion yuan. Previously, "Ne Zha" ranked fifth on the global box office list. The success of these films is due to the breakthrough in the industrial logic and cultural expression of domestic animated films. Nowadays, more animated films are constantly improving their ability to "translate traditional stories into modernity", allowing cultural products to better reflect modern life. A deeper breakthrough lies in the innovation of industrial logic. In the past, domestic animated films often fell into a cycle of "childishness-low investment-low quality", but today's excellent works have established a positive cycle of "quality wins-market recognition-higher investment". It should also be noted that in the current domestic animated film market, apart from classic IPs like Ne Zha and Sun Wukong, there are few successful cases of original worldview works. However, from "Ne Zha" to "Langlang Mountain", domestic animated films have gradually found their own creative coordinates - rooted in traditional culture, with compassion for reality as their soul, and industrial innovation as their wings. It is expected that in the future, domestic animated films will not only continue to produce hits, but also establish a unique Chinese animation aesthetic, occupying an irreplaceable position in the global cultural landscape.
