Their third feature film, Cats and Peachtopia, was released in China on April 5, 2018. In the United States, Viva Pictures released the movie as "Cats" on DirecTV Pay-per-view in late 2019, and distributed the movie theatrically on January 24, 2020. [7]

As the show moved forward, it also built the viewers’ empathy for our two leads. The more we find out why they were the way they were, the more we understood them including their arrogance and aloofness that put us off at first. Still, many viewers would find both characters frustrating at different points of the story, especially in their interactions with their families and with each other.

In addition, other characters with their own demons to face, and romance between different couples added flavor to the story. Romance-wise, there was the calm, restrained and mature love between the main leads. The comfortable steady kind of relationship that I appreciated. There was the second couple that delighted many with how they overcome challenges to stay together and a third couple who did nothing but irritated me with their rash, impulsive, entitled spoilt love. That said, there were viewers who liked them too.

Their first animated feature, Little Door Gods, directed by Gary Wang opened in China on January 1, 2016. It premiered in the United States on May 20, 2017 at the Seattle International Film Festival. [5]Technically, animating various types of snakes with stylized realism posed significant challenges. The process began, like they often do, with considerable research. “First, we did in-depth study on the characteristics of how snakes move,” Zhao explains. “Then a key step was to develop the rigging system and tools for snake animations. After building such a system, we will never be worried if there are snakes in our future films.” The drama tells the growth of 6 different people, all live in their own worlds some with dark past/traumas, whom received kindness through rescue and overcoming their own pasts/struggles to become light for others through rescue….

I loved the different worlds Hamilton and Powell came up with. In this story, Amahle only visits a handful, but each was completely different. Like Winterspite, a medieval world without modern conveniences, or Vespaer, a huge planet with only a thin strip of mountainous land dividing two oceans. When she arrives in each world, she’s treated like a queen, because everyone wants the favor of the Light Chaser and hopes they’ll be chosen to wear a memory collar. Can’t believe it’s been 3 years already and we are so grateful to be sharing this adventure with you all! In return for your unremitting support, we will be giving away fabulous rewards in the coming new server~ This was a great, immersive sci-fi novella, focusing on futuristic AI and technology with the ability to halt the evolution and societal growth of all species across the universe. I really enjoyed Amahle's quest for truth and that the reader was granted permission to journey with her across the realistic timeline of the years it took for her to gain it. There was a sweet love story concurrently developing although it was never allowed to overtake the main focus, which I also appreciated. Ranging from cross server PvP, Clan War to battle royale, the game strives to deliver the most exhilarating gameplay!Creatively, capturing and transferring traditional Chinese artistic styles into CG animation proved especially challenging for Zhao’s team. According to the director, “This is a pioneering project, so we put tremendous effort into both set design – like the Chinese-painting-like mountains and rivers - and character design. That includes, for example, the multiple-layer traditional Chinese clothes, ancient young ladies’ hair styles and movements.” You all start with hating LB and boy how much I love him at the end despite all many tragic events he went through for being real, brave, courageous, kind, smart and forgiving…..LB is a true warrior… Two things could have made up for this: the characters and the chance to explore. Well, I didn't like Amahle and she's the only character of any significance, so there went that. My biggest issue with her was that, for all she's (almost) immortal, she behaves just like any-old human today (with an emphasis on 'today'). Likewise, the worlds described are surprisingly uncreative for a science fiction novella. They're analogs of either medieval, early industrial, or early modern Earth, with a lot of cultural references to the current day. Odd, considering that we're talking 26,000 years in the future. And yes, to some extent, this is part of the plot, but the authors could have tried just a bit harder. Flawed Characters You Will Learn to Appreciate (Updated Review after Finale) Most dramas start off with the notion of a perfect lead, with a personality and qualities that the viewers can admire. Well, not this truly underrated show.
