The production of short films has brought China animation into an artistic peak, which not only continues to carry forward the style of national animation, but also explores the undergraduate course of animation art.

In the early 1980s, American and Japanese TV animation began to enter China, which had a great impact on the animation market in China. The cultural orientation of American and Japanese animation entertainment and the perfect animation industry chain are not available in China animation industry. The imperfection of animation industry chain in China is its biggest drawback. In the late 1980s, China became a cheap processing base for American and Japanese animation. Local animation is generally eager for quick success and instant benefit, and quantity does not demand quality, thus causing the overall decline of China animation.

Facing the weakness of China's animation industry, China government began to support the animation industry. The injection of various capitals, the establishment of TV animation channels and the rise of animation education in colleges and universities have brought new hope for the development of China's animation industry. Facing the challenge of American and Japanese animation, Japanese animation still has a long way to go.
