Niu Lai, a low-budget animated film created by a mother and son duo over five years, initially struggled with poor box office performance. Despite criticism for its animation and story, the film gained viral attention due to its absurdity, leading to sold-out shows in the US and China. It eventually grossed over $600,000, overcoming initial failure to become a box office phenomenon.
