A daring heist, friendship, redemption, justice, satire and fun – those are the words that come to mind when watching the Chinese animated film All Wishes Come True!⁣ ⁣ The animation, inspired by the ancient Chinese legend of the Eight Immortals, has now landed in British cinemas.⁣ ⁣ It probably doesn't do the film justice to summarize a story peppered with twists in just a few sentences, but here goes: When a magical lantern protecting humanity disappears, eight unlikely mortals come together to find it. What begins as a treasure hunt becomes a fight to save humanity.⁣ ⁣ CGTN's Li Jianhua speaks to the film's director – and gives a potted guide to how Chinese cinema is becoming globally popular. ⁣ ⁣ #china #animation⁣
