Ne Zha 2 becomes the highest-grossing animated film globally and netizens are celebrating

As Ne Zha 2 becomes the highest-grossing animated film globally, here's how the internet is reacting to it.

The biggest movie of the year so far isn’t a Hollywood spectacle or a big-budget superhero epic, but NeZha 2, a Chinese animated film based on an ancient Taoist character that has everyone talking. Directed by Jiaozi as a sequel to the 2019 film Ne Zha, the movie has shattered records, becoming the highest-grossing non-English-language film of all time and surpassing even the biggest animated movies in history. Despite barely playing in the United States, it has amassed an unprecedented total, outperforming Inside Out 2 and breaking the record for the highest earnings in a single territory, a title previously held by Star Wars: The Force Awakens. While it took months for the latter to reach its peak, Ne Zha 2 achieved the milestone in less than two weeks, proving the immense popularity of Chinese animation in its home market. With its momentum still strong, the film is on track to become the first animated movie ever to cross the two-billion-dollar mark, cementing its place in cinematic history.

The popularity of Ne Zha 2 didn’t come as a surprise and you'll agree when you see how incredible the film looks, how exciting the fight scenes are, and how much people have connected with the story. Ever since it hit theaters, people have been sharing their thoughts on everything from the stunning animation to the incredible action sequences. Some have even compared its fight scenes to the best Hollywood has to offer, while others say the emotional depth of the story is what makes it so special. It’s one of those movies that doesn’t just entertain but leaves a lasting impression, and the sheer experience of watching it has turned casual viewers into passionate fans. With people discussing the film, here's a list of some of the most interesting reactions we’ve come across.

Ne Zha 2 is an amazing movie. The action is better than any western animated movie I've ever seen and the story is compelling. It's over 2 hours long and not once did I ever feel bored or felt like anything dragged on. 10/10 highly recommend pic.twitter.com/olB4tfrQqw

If you want to know why Nezha 2 is smashing box office records in China? This is just the first 60 seconds of the movie. And it’s just the recap. In the age of Generative AI slop, the animators in China decided to go God Mode for the intro of the film. #Nezha2 pic.twitter.com/3ljoKbe0we

With absolutely zero spite, just pure genuine honestly, I am so rooting for Ne Zha 2 to be number one.

I've never felt so emotionally affected by an animated feature from recent memory. Ever. https://t.co/n61hBMrH6o pic.twitter.com/QLT2rfKOcr

Watching Ne Zha 2 for the third time, I empathize with Shen Gongbao. He is just like us, those "small-town swots" who were born in humble circumstances. We are all determined to become the hope of our families and the whole village.#哪吒之魔童

The fighting scenes in this movie are so good that it is worth watching twice or three times because the fighting scenes are better than those in many martial arts dramas.

In fact, since Nezha 1, the team has not had a martial arts instructor.#NeZha2pic.twitter.com/0l3sIAxHsy
