Malaysian netizens mock Indonesia's new animated film quality
THE perpetual competition between Indonesia and Malaysia has always been a source of entertainment for the cyberspace, and for good reasons. And recently, the heat is being turned up once again by a netizen who highlighted the poor quality of Indonesia's new animated movie, 'MERAH PUTIH: ONE FOR ALL,' in comparison to Malaysian animation such as Upin dan Ipin. Now i know why Indonesia always stick to Upin Ipin and Malaysian animations. — The Tsoi Gun 🇲🇾 (@CallSignTsoi) August 10, 2025 'At first I thought it was some netizen making a meme, but it was a real production,' said @shahnonsalleh while @CallSignTsoi pointed out it was 100% made by the Indonesian government. However, @BergschrundOM corrected that the production was only backed by the government. According to @IndoPopBase, the animated movie had a production budget of Rp6.7 bil, which is the equivalent to RM1.7 mil. That is no small sum of money. The result, however, was lacklustre. The MERAH PUTIH: ONE FOR ALL will be released on 14 August 2025, in conjunction with Indonesia's 80th independence anniversary. The film tells the story of a group of children who travel to find a stolen red and white flag so that it can be used in their village's independence celebration. The storm of criticism continues. 'Money Laundering. The director don't even care about opinion,' @Id77Kgt remarked. 'It's so ugly, why do people watch this?' said another. 'They don't. If any, either it becomes a 'must-watch-or-else' task for official government or school students, or they're bribed to watch it. There has been circulating DMs about being paid to watch this abomination,' said @ryuumajin. Perhaps the most biting comment came from @not2ez4mee who said, 'Even Upin Ipin season 1 is better than that movie.' However, the film does have its supporters. @Naxa83 remarked that the graphic might not be good looking but it is filled with messages of patriotism and unity. 'Only the cost is a little high and it does not fulfill the audiences' expectation,' he said. —Aug 11, 2025 Main image: @CallSignTsoi (X)
