Greatest Movie of All Time Just Came Out

Overview

The video claims a Chinese animated film, “New Light” (also known as “Here Comes the Cow”), initially performed extremely poorly at the box office—reportedly making about $1,000 in its first week with only around 200 attendees. It also reportedly faced heavy criticism for its “terrible” animation, with viewers comparing it unfavorably to AI-generated visuals.

Reported Turnaround and Virality

According to the commentary, the movie later went viral despite (or because of) its low-quality appearance:

• It reportedly earned over 14 million yuan (about $2 million) after going viral.
• Screenings were reportedly cut down to four theaters before online buzz boosted attention.
• The film was reportedly created by a mother-and-son duo over five years.

Marketing and Promotional Materials

A key point discussed is how the film’s marketing materials were mishandled, including a claim that it lacked a proper promotional poster for theaters. Because of this, theaters reportedly drew their own posters, which the creator argues contributed to the film’s unusual online attention.

Social Media Drama and AI Claims

The video also references social media debate around the animation quality, including:

• Comments suggesting people would prefer low-quality human animation over highly polished AI animation.
• A claim (attributed to Drama Alert) that the filmmakers used AI to make the movie appear better online/virally—implying a mismatch between perceived “AI polish” and the criticized animation.

Host’s Conclusion

The host says the film likely won’t get a worldwide theatrical release, though it may be available online. The host also warns viewers not to watch via illegal sources.
