SFC CGV Cinema and SFC Yonghua Cinema City have canceled all screenings of the Chinese animated movie “The Autobots,” which has been accused of plagiarizing Pixar’s film “Cars,” just five days after it opened.

“We canceled the screening yesterday, because the quality was too bad. And now, there’s a copycat scandal,” Dai Guoping, vice president of Yonghua Cinema City told Shanghai Daily.

“Even when it was on we arranged only one session a day,” he said, adding that it took only 7,000 yuan (US$1,100) at the box office.
