Abominable 雪人奇缘 (2019)

(directed by Jill Culton and Todd Wilderman) It’s a Dreamworks animated film, but was co-produced by Pearl Studio 东方梦工厂 in Shanghai (they had previously done work on Kung Fu Panda 3). Beautiful versions of modern Chinese cities and south-west Chinese landscapes, even including a trip to the Leshan Buddha 乐山大佛. Well worth a watch with younger children. There are versions in mainland and Taiwanese Mandarin, and in Cantonese. The film caused some controversy across south-east Asia because the heroine’s map includes the nine-dash line 九段线 (actually the ten-dash variant, if you freeze-frame the film). ★★★☆☆
