Get set for an amazing fantasy film of epic proportions as A24 Studios brings a new sequel film from China to stateside audiences!
Following the critical and financial success of the first film, 2019’s Ne Zha (at the time, the highest-grossing non-US animated film), this new sequel continues the adventures of the eponymous character from Chinese mythology – a young boy born from an enchanted pearl, imbued with terrifying supernatural power, and destined to bring destruction to the world. Ne Zha, in the first film, pushed back against his pre-determined fate and opted to use his powers for good instead of evil. He joined forces with Ao Bing, another supernatural figure, and the two were able to prevent a cataclysmic event; however, the duo was struck by divine lightning and turned into spirits. In this new film, a wise teacher has undertaken the duty of restoring Ne Zha and Ao Bing to their material form, but there are many obstacles, challenges, and tribulations to be faced before the two can once again recover their corporeal bodies.
Having thus far grossed over $2-billion in revenue in China and the rest of the world, Ne Zha II has earned the honor of becoming the highest-grossing film of the year. With stunning visuals and a heartwarming story, the English-dubbed version set for release in the USA will feature the voice talents of Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh as “Lady Yin”.
