@mothershipsg: at least it isn’t ai… (cough cough) As of Aug. 18, Niu Lai has grossed around S$3.2 million, according to Chinese box-office tracking platform Maoyan, putting its daily box-office takings nearly on par with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. “You may regret for 80 minutes if you watch it, but if you don't, you'll regret it for life,” one popular social media post about the film read, according to the BBC. Chinese netizens have continued to circulate clips from the film, jokingly praising Niu Lai’s rough , “hand-crafted” animation as evidence that no AI was involved. #mothershipabroad #china #niulai #tiktokchina

It took two people 5 years to make this? Did they do it as a part time fun project or something?
