Ne Zha 2, directed by Yu Yang, follows in the footsteps of the great mythological frescoes of Chinese animation. This eagerly-awaited sequel to Ne Zha, the smash hit of 2019, continues to explore the legends of Chinese folklore through a spectacular adventure. Carried by the voices of Joseph Cao, Mo Han and Hao Chen, the film blends action, fantasy and moral issues in a visually ambitious universe.
Ne Zha 2 will be released in cinemas from April 23, 2025.
Synopsis: Ne Zha, a demon-child raised by humans, forms an uneasy alliance with dragon prince Ao Bing in an epic battle to protect their clans. Following this battle, Ao Bing's being is integrated into Ne Zha's body, and he embarks on a dangerous quest for an elixir capable of restoring Ao Bing's physical form. On this journey, punctuated by confrontations with demons, he discovers a conspiracy that could trigger a devastating war between heaven and earth. Ne Zha must thwart these forces to protect what he holds dear.
The film will appeal to fans of epic tales inspired by Chinese mythology, such as TheMonkey King and Mulan. Fans of spectacular animated films and tales of intertwined loyalty, destiny and magic should also find something to their liking. With its ambitious narrative and impressive visuals, Ne Zha 2 also appeals to an international audience curious to discover another facet of Asian popular culture.
Inspired by the classic literary work Investiture of the Gods, the film is the work of over 4,000 collaborators and has achieved historic success at the Chinese box office. It has outstripped the world's leading animation titles to become an international phenomenon. This sequel pushes back even further the technical limits set by the first installment, with a more fluid visual style and more ambitious action scenes.
Ne Zha 2 extends the universe of the first film by further exploring the relationship between characters from Chinese mythology. Blending adventure, emotion and spirituality, this is a work for both lovers of demanding animation and viewers interested in Asian cultures. Its release in France is an eagerly-awaited event in the world of animation.
