At more than $2.2 billion, this is the highest grossing animated film in the world and it was also the highest grossing film of 2025. All of this success came mostly from other countries, but now we can experience it streaming. What makes the movie so appealing are the dazzling visuals that constantly present beautiful new images. The story continues with Ne Zha and his friend Ao Bing on an adventure for their spirit vs. the inevitable demons. It’s easy enough to ignore the plot and just appreciate the continuous flow of magnificent fantasies. The characters are exaggerated, but they manage to keep the energy moving. It does drag when they try to ramp up the emotional aspect, but there are some entertaining moments too. Otherwise, just watch it for the visual treats.
