Thousands of white-clad martial-arts warriors, cloaked in glowing golden bubbles of energy, pile atop each other on a vastly branching magical staff to form what looks like a beautiful mountaintop tree in autumn. Energy-breathing dragons zip around blasting all resistance, as two avatars of godly power band together into an irresistible force. It\u2019s breathtaking. On a big screen, it\u2019s almost overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The same movie also features a sequence where a visually impaired elderly man mistakes the giant pink ass of a flying pig for a person\u2019s face, and keeps trying to speak to it while the pig repeatedly farts clouds of bilious green gas into his open mouth. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NeZha 2 International Trailer | \u300a\u54ea\u54122\u300b \u56fd\u9645\u9884\u544a\u7247\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nsXQijb0F4I?rel=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That\u2019s the basic dynamic of both 2019\u2019s <em>Ne Zha<\/em> and the 2025 sequel, which divide their energy between epic combat and the most lowbrow humor you can imagine. There are booger jokes and poop jokes. A boy gulps down a cauldron of disgusting stew, vomits it all up, then drinks the resulting vomit. A number of sophisticated elites wind up delicately sipping glasses of urine-infused water. For American audiences, body-humor gags in animated movies are nothing new;&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/movies\/22434538\/shrek\">Shrek<\/a><\/em> in particular leans into \u201ctee-hee, I farted in the bath\u201d humor. But it\u2019s still a bit of a shock how far <em>Ne Zha 2 <\/em>goes in pushing the envelope of gross-out gags.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That\u2019s especially true given the powerful emotions at play in other parts of the movie, and the overall focus on world-rending battles. <em>Ne Zha 2 <\/em>revolves heavily around characters\u2019 emotional bonds with their friends and family, and around the fear of hurting or disappointing loved ones \u2014&nbsp;or losing them altogether. Major and minor characters alike see horrific things happen to the people they love. Grief, anger, hope, and need all play significant parts in the story, and drive tremendous battles between tremendous powers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">With <em>Ne Zha 2<\/em>, writer-director Jiao Zi picks up almost exactly where he left off with <em>Ne Zha<\/em> in 2019. The mystical artifact known as the Chaos Pearl split into two parts, incarnated as powerful entities: the crude demon-boy Ne Zha and the elegant dragon warrior Ao Bing. (Both are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/22388029\/new-gods-nezha-reborn-review-netflix\">characters from Chinese mythology<\/a> that have been reimagined <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/what-to-watch\/23421283\/best-donghua-chinese-animation-watch-streaming\">countless times in Chinese entertainment<\/a>.) In <em>Ne Zha<\/em>, these two become unlikely friends, and unite to save Ne Zha from a powerful curse that ultimately destroys their bodies. <em>Ne Zha 2<\/em> opens with endlessly bumbling warrior-priest Taiyi making them fragile new bodies out of lotus paste, which will need to be tempered before it can withstand the immense powers they both wield.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ne-zha-2-the-highest-grossing-animated-movie-ever-pits-breathtaking-spectacle-against-fart-gags-1.jpg\" alt=\"Three black Chinese dragons wrapped in chains open their mouths, prepared to blast energy \u2014\u00a0one violet, one blue, and one fire-red \u2014\u00a0in Ne Zha 2\" title=\"Three black Chinese dragons wrapped in chains open their mouths, prepared to blast energy \u2014\u00a0one violet, one blue, and one fire-red \u2014\u00a0in Ne Zha 2\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: CMC Pictures\/Everett Collection\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Before that can happen, Ao Bing sacrifices himself <em>again <\/em>to save Ne Zha\u2019s hometown, Chentang Pass, from an attack by Taiyi\u2019s former brother-in-arms Shen Gongbao. Shen\u2019s attack comes at the behest of three dragons scheming against the powerful Dragon King of the Eastern Sea, who only wants to save his son, Ao Bing. Ne Zha accepts Ao Bing\u2019s spirit into his body, and undertakes a series of trials to resurrect a powerful artifact that could fully revive his friend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">There are many, many different threads at play in this sequel;&nbsp;while it\u2019s more narratively sophisticated and visually ambitious than <em>Ne Zha<\/em> (which already had plenty of both those elements), it\u2019s still worth starting with the previous film. <em>Ne Zha<\/em> offers a lot of necessary background to understand how its two central embodied artifacts relate to each other, to the dragons chained deep under the Earth, and to the godlike powers that confine those dragons. It\u2019s also a route to understanding Shen Gongbao, who spends the movie veering between Disney-esque cartoon villain, respectful and righteous servant, the butt of comedy slapstick, and dutiful family man.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But the political drama, particularly between the dragons and their powerful overlords, still takes a back seat to the movie\u2019s visual spectacle, which ramps up considerably from <em>Ne Zha<\/em>,<em> <\/em>as more and more powerful entities enter the story. That leaves Ne Zha himself in a less central role, as he\u2019s caught up in conflicts far beyond his awareness.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ne-zha-2-the-highest-grossing-animated-movie-ever-pits-breathtaking-spectacle-against-fart-gags-2.jpg\" alt=\"A poster for Ne Zha 2, with a shirtless young man with blazing red eyes and long, upswept vertical hair, surrounded by a floating red ribbon, holding a staff, and standing atop two burning wheels, superimposed over a storm-tossed sea full of Chinese dragons\" title=\"A poster for Ne Zha 2, with a shirtless young man with blazing red eyes and long, upswept vertical hair, surrounded by a floating red ribbon, holding a staff, and standing atop two burning wheels, superimposed over a storm-tossed sea full of Chinese dragons\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: CMC Pictures\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Ne Zha has changed a fair bit since the first movie, where he\u2019s a sullen, mischievous superpowered brat who violently resents any attempt to contain his power. There are still traces of that personality in play \u2014\u00a0this is recognizably the same character, especially when he\u2019s frustrated with the many officious adults around him. He clearly carries the weight of what he endured and learned in the previous movie. But as the stakes keep rising in <em>Ne Zha 2<\/em>, there\u2019s less and less room for him to act out, and more and more ways he needs to step up. By the end of the movie \u2014\u00a0which includes several open threads designed to set up a third installment in the series \u2014\u00a0he\u2019s less of a point-of-view character, and more a single element in a complicated, many-sided conflict.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That conflict plays out via martial-arts sparring and blasts of fire, ice, and lightning, with magic powers and shapeshifting and a glowing army, with wars of words and literal wars, with off-color gags and shouted declarations of vengeance and fury. It\u2019s a lot to take in, but it\u2019s joyously and creatively rendered, a fantasy epic brought to life in vivid color and with all the visual creativity a fantasy fan could want. Puke jokes aside, it\u2019s an experience best had on the largest screen possible \u2014&nbsp;this is an epic-sized tale designed for an epic-sized screen. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">And apparently, in spite of its deep ties to the ingrained myths of its home culture, it\u2019s a movie designed for a world-sized audience.<em> Ne Zha 2 <\/em>has already joined the list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-numbers.com\/box-office-records\/worldwide\/all-movies\/cumulative\/all-time\">the top 10 all-time biggest worldwide box office hits<\/a>, and at its current rate of earnings, it may soon surpass <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2015\/12\/16\/10313164\/star-wars-the-force-awakens-review\">Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/a><\/em> and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2018\/4\/24\/17274024\/avengers-infinity-war-review-marvel-movie-mcu\">Avengers: Infinity War<\/a>. <\/em>That\u2019s an impressive record for a film that at one point literally turns both its leads into poop-emoji-shaped blobs of goo. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Ne Zha 2<em> is currently in limited release in American theaters. <\/em>Ne Zha<em> can be watched free on the ad-supported platforms <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viki.com\/videos\/1251995v-ne-zha\">Rakuten Viki<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/therokuchannel.roku.com\/watch\/a63a196f095a5aa2a26c8a12dba4319f?source=google\">Roku Channel<\/a>; it\u2019s also free with a library card from a subscribing library on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoopladigital.com\/movie\/ne-zha-jaden-waldman\/12738086\">Hoopla<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/en\/product\/ne-zhafrontend=kui\">Kanopy<\/a>.
