"Little Canned Men" tells the story of Lu Xi Xi, a young girl who discovers five tiny people as tall as matchsticks after she opens a sealed can of meat. She and her mischievous brother Pi Pi Lu then befriend the five small people, each with their own distinctive talent, such as singing, martial arts, and speaking multiple languages. The tiny people help the siblings and classmates improve their studies at school, which has a bias against students with bad scores. They also face various challenges and dangers along the way.

Reviews
I think little kids might love this movie, actually! Very little kids, like 7-8 ?
The plot and behaviors of the characters are SO lacking it's almost funny, it's like a middle school kid's creative writing essay.BUT, for the same reason, it's actually quite adorable? If you put away your unforgiving critical lens for a bit and watch this with the lens you'd use to read a child's earnest attempt at a fantasy story, you might like it!
Oh and, go into it expecting bad CGI and all the characters being (very obviously) dubbed.
Clearly not much refinement went into making this. But it does have heart and I think they tried their best. So I think watching it with the same mindset would help.
