Man and Cartoon banned in China

[Furtherman]

<p>Considering China can't make a film without a man or woman flying around or some other supernatural &quot;fantasy&quot; element, this seems a bit odd:</p><p><a name="4"></a><a name="film4"><strong class="sbheadline">China Bans Live/Animated Movies</strong></a><br /></p>Calling it &quot;one of the more bizarre orders&quot; from China's film and broadcast watchdog, <em>Daily Variety</em> reported today (Wednesday) that henceforth movies and TV shows featuring live humans together with animated figures are banned in China. The trade publication cited a report appearing in the government-operated Xinhua News Agency that referred to an order by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued on Feb. 15. The order stated that &quot;human live-action, so-called animation pieces will not receive distribution or distribution licenses.&quot; The reason, the order said cryptically, was that such films jeopardize &quot;the broadcast order of homemade animation and mislead their development.&quot; <div /><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So... no longer to be seen in China:</p><div /><img height="250" src="http://www.nostalgiacentral.com/images_movie/rogerrabbit_02.JPG" width="320" border="0" />

<p><font size="2">Do you think this counts?&nbsp; This is a real question - will CGI be included in the ban or just &quot;pure&quot; animation?</font></p><p><img height="475" src="http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00005RDP8.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg" width="332" border="0" /></p>

That's a good question, however a ban on cgi would elliminate the Chinese martial arts movies that use cgi for the fight scenes.
