Ne Zha 2 has been making waves all over the globe for two reasons – first, it presents a story that caters to all age ages and second, it has become the fifth highest-grossing movie of all time. It is quite amazing for an animated film to have achieved this feat alongside big names like Inside Out 2, Titanic, Avatar trilogy, and Avengers: Infinity War. It is the first and the only animated movie in history to have crossed the USD $2 billion collection mark.
Ne Zha 2 is the sequel to the 2019 animated film Ne Zha. The 2019 movie is a loose adaptation of the 16th-century novel Investiture of the Gods by Xu Zhonglin. In the movie, the protagonist Nezha is born from a heavenly pearl by the Primeval Lord of Heaven, Yuanshi Tianzun. He is fated to bring destruction upon mankind. However, he strives hard to change his fate. As the movie progresses, Nezha eventually accepts his fate.
Jiang Ziya serves as a spiritual successor to the 2019 film but it is only Ne Zha 2 that truly tells us what happens to Ne Zha and Ao Bing after their souls are saved. Ne Zha 2 comes almost five years after the first part and picks up right there. All heavenly bodies come together to bring Nezha and Ao Bing back to human forms. As the movie progresses, Nezha, Ao Bing, and others fight the demonic powers to reclaim peace.
