What does "Niu Lai Cow Movie Meme" mean?

The Niu Lai cow movie meme is the internet's ironic love for Niu Lai, a low-budget 2026 Chinese animated film about a newborn calf, known for its stiff 3D animation and hard-to-follow story. It opened in China on August 5, 2026 with no marketing, went viral on Chinese social media in mid-August, and then spread on X, YouTube, TikTok and Reddit. The mockery turned into real ticket sales.
