Chinese animation keeps raising the bar. The Umbrella Fairy has a classic anime look and a typical Chinese fantasy plot. What makes it stand out is the quality of the animation, a level I've only seen in Studio 4°C anthologies. To stretch that to a feature-length film is madness, but they've pulled it off without much effort. The result is a visual feast, a style much better suited to bring these Chinese fantasy/folklore films to life. It's time for Japan to step up its game.
