In the early spring of 2025, the Chinese animated
film “Ne Zha: The Demon Boy Making Havoc in the Sea”
(commonly referred to as “Ne Zha 2”) has been shattering
records in the history of both Chinese and global cinema
since its release. Currently, “Ne Zha 2” leads the box of-
fice for animated films worldwide, boasting an impressive
box office total exceeding 14 billion yuan and becoming a
cultural phenomenon in China.
“Ne Zha 2” is adapted from the classic Chinese myth
“Investiture of the Gods”. The protagonist, Ne Zha, is a
rebellious and mischievous yet kind-hearted three-year-
old boy. This sequel continues the storyline of its prede-
cessor, “Ne Zha: Birth of the Demon Child”, depicting the
adventures of Ne Zha and his friend Ao Bing as they face
numerous challenges and ultimately grow into heroes
who protect the common people.
With the film’s immense success and viral popularity,
movie fans across China have eagerly recommended “Ne
Zha 2” to their friends and family, often forming groups
to watch it a second time. In addition, they
have begun to explore the various con-
nections between their local regions and
the film. Notably, the stories of Yunnan artist
Duan Lei and post-90s special effects artist
Jin Tao have captured the public’s attention.
