I. Introduction
Since the 1990s, Chinese elements began to appear in Hollywood movies every now and then, which have given rise to a wide public concern and heated discussion. Hollywood film makers invite Chinese actors and Chinese martial art instructors to participate in filming. Furthermore they also draw on traditional Chinese literary, myths and legends, China’s natural beautiful scenery and unique Chinese architecture. All of above help the audiences overseas deepen their understandings of China and Chinese culture. Meanwhile, Chinese people feel immensely proud of Chinese culture. But investigators must treat this phenomenon── FOREIGN MADE CHINESE CULTURE (the Chinese elements put in foreign made films or TV programs that are somehow different from Chinese local culture) properly (W.W. Zhang 28). Keep the positive attributes of it and remove the negatives through analyzing its advantages and disadvantages, in order to know better about Hollywood’s presenting Chinese elements in their movies and better guide the direction of Chinese culture transmission. 好莱坞动画电影中的中国元素分析:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_24387.html
