When someone says ‘Chinese Animation’, what images directly come to mind?

I actually drew a blank on this too but a new 16 minute animation titled ‘See Through’ (or for a more direct translation “打,打个大西瓜” – “Hit, Hit the Big Watermelon“) has recently appeared on Youtube and made a splash in the motherland. (That’s China, not Britain).
