82628135_2810750745634715_8728323407554281472_nThis past year, this Chinese animated film became in one of the most successful animated films ever made, grossing worldwide more than $725 million. A total success for Chinese cinema and Chinese animation. But letting money aside, the film is a reimagined version of Nezha, a character from Chinese mythology that has appeared in countless different films, videogames and even novels, such as ‘Journey to the west’ where he is the villain of a really funny chapter.

The story of this film was loosely based in the novel “Investiture of the Gods” by Xu Zhonglin . The plot revolves around the birth of a kid, Nezha. who has been cursed to born as a demon and die at the age of 3, however, his parents refuse to kill him, and tricked the evil kid making him believe that he is destined to use his powers to be a great demon hunter, and what happens when you lie to your kids? That you provoke on them a trauma and hells breaks loose…

The Director takes advantage of the ultimate technology in 3D animation, to recreate an absorbing visually stunning fantasy tale full of action, that takes the audience through a roller coaster of emotions, equally enjoyable for kids and adults, in which there’s even time to pay some small homages to popular movie sagas as terminator.

Through the path that the protagonist has to follow, we get to learn the lesson that destiny might be marked for us, but we are the only ones who can decide our fate, because it belongs to us…

And following the trend that Marvel started years ago, there are three post credit scenes…

Anyway, this is a seriously great movie that nobody should miss…

The film is available in USA in DVD, Bluray and digital by WELL GO USA.
