NEZHA2: This could be the best animated film of the year !

By : Edgar Allan E. Yu

When I attended the premiere of NEZHA 2, I must admit my knowledge of the plot was minimal. However, by the time the credits rolled, I found myself thoroughly captivated and eager to dive into the first movie. And let me tell you -watching it was a delight ! The original film infused more comedy while exploring the origins of NeZha and Ao Bing, illustrating their journey from enemies to friends. 

Now that I've seen both films, my appreciation for NEZHA 2 has only deepened. It picks up seamlessly where its predecessor left off, delivering animation that is nothing short of astounding. The action sequences are incredible and will keep you engaged and interested. While it retains juvenile humor that appeals to younger audiences, it also weaves in themes of parental love, friendship, and altruism—all rooted in rich Chinese folklore.

What’s remarkable about NEZHA 2 is its universal appeal; it's not just for kids but resonates with adults as well. Written and directed by Yang Yu (Jiaozi). This film has become a cultural phenomenon thanks to over 4,000 talented animators who contributed their skills to create such a visually stunning masterpiece. What a wonderful sight to see all those gods, demons, and dragons battling it out on land, in the sea, and up in the sky. With earnings surpassing $2 billion and no signs of slowing down, it's clear that this franchise has struck a chord with audiences worldwide.

I can hardly contain my excitement for the third installment ! I definitely recommend it to family and friends to catch it on the big screen. If you haven't experienced NEZHA 2 yet, do yourself a big favor, go to the nearest cinemas now !
