Speaking of animation, post-80s and 90s Chinese people would automatically think about the Japanese animations or Disney's classic works they watched in their childhood.
谈到动漫，80后和90后就会不由自主地想到他们童年看过的日本动漫或迪士尼经典作品。
Yet those animations made in China, say, the series adapted from traditional Chinese folk stories and modern writer Zheng Yuanjie's fairy tales from 1950 to 1994 by Shanghai Animation Film Studio, are also etched in their memories.
但是一些国产的动画片，例如上海美术电影制片厂改编的一系列来自中国传统民间传说，以及现代作家郑渊洁所创的童话故事，也深刻在他们记忆中。
In recent years, Chinese animation films and series are trying to break new ground. The 2015 animation film Monkey King: Hero Is Back and 2016 Big Fish And Begonia are two highly praised works.
近年来，中国动画电影和剧集正在努力开拓新天地。2015年的《大圣归来》和2016年的《大鱼海棠》都备受赞誉。
Yet compared to foreign counterparts, Chinese animation still has a long way to go. Here are five new series made in China that are currently popular among young audiences.
