Review Quotes: Chinese Animation is a much-needed intervention in one of the world's under-disclosed cinemas. The volume's searching chapters, mobilized adeptly by three of the field's leading scholars, open passages not only across Chinese cinema and animation, but also onto a broader cultural and intellectual history that situates Chinese animation within a global epistemology.--Akira Mizuta Lippit, University of Southern California
