There are at least two joint Chinese/American CGI movie projects that went directly to Netflix in the US with no theatrical release–[_Duck Duck Goose_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_Duck_Goose_(film)) (which I watched a couple of months ago) and [_NextGen_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Gen_(film)) (which I watched a couple of hours ago.) Both of them have better production values and stories than your typical direct-to-video movies and could have been theatrical releases (much worse animated movies have made it to the big screen), _Duck Duck Goose_ in the off-season and _NextGen_ maybe even trying for being a summer blockbuster, _DDG_ more of a kid’s movie, _NG_ more towards a teen/adult audience. So if you haven’t seen them, you might want to give them a try, and if you have sren either of them, you can give your opinions here.
