China debuts worlds first 3-D cartoon movie?

I'm really not sure what to make of this. KungFuCinema posted a link to a very short blip of info about a 3-D Cartoon [ed: computer generated] movie that is being released in China by the title Dragon Blade on January 6th. Tha article claims it to be "the worlds first three-dimension cartoon movie".

While that doesn't necessarily grab me by the collar the voice talent does... somewhat. Karen Mok, Daniel Wu and Stephen Fung are among those who lent their voices to this project [though you can be sure that any domestic release will come dubbed with a hip hop soundtrack]. And Stanley Tong, a long time collaborator with Jackie Chan [SuperCop, Rumble in the Bronx and First Strike] designed the action sequences for the movie.

I'm still not fully convinced yet. Honestly it looks like someone taped their buddy playing Final Fantasy for 90 minutes and tinkered with it enough to make it look 3D-ish. I'm teetering on whether I like it nor not. You can watch the trailer on the official site and make up your own mind. I am sure that thing that looks like a mutated Tweety Bird will annoy the crap out of me. Then there is the official site calling it a 'CG extravaganza that can best be described as Shrek meets Crouching Tiger". I kid you not.

The official movie site is here.
