At once awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping, eye-rolling and head-scratching, this is animated cinema on a scale rarely seen. It doesn’t always hang together, but on its box-office achievements alone, Ne Zha 2 has earned a place with the immortals.

The Times (UK)

There’s soul too, and a deep sense of family, plus a poignantly symbolic sequence where a mother insists on embracing her son, even though his body is brutally pin-cushioned by a thousand glass spikes.

If the story is Chinese, this rather token plea in favour of misunderstood outsiders and acknowledging difference feels pure Hollywood. But so overwhelming is the artistry, it barely matters.

While Ne Zha 1 was a milestone in Chinese animation for both story and style, Ne Zha 2 takes everything that worked about that first film and multiplied it by a hundred elevating it while crafting an animated masterpiece.
