Of course it is the best movie of Chinese donghua and marks the beginning of a new era of Chinese donghua industry. Now it keeps breaking the box office records. Please share your opinions of the movie with me.
Also, Chinese media say that it is popular overseas. Is it true? Is the movie hot in your area?
And many Chinese think Chinese donghua has surpassed Japanese animes because of the box office. What do you think？

I agree Nezha is the movie that could start something in chinese donghua. Nezha 2 is packed with many action scenes and they are all great too. I enjoyed the movie. I don't know anything about the box office stuff. But I would say chinese donghua beating japanese animation is something they have to prove more than just 2-3 movies. Japanese animation has many great works in the past and some good ones now. There is just more variety in japanese movie animation.

Best animated movie I have seen in the past 20 years. Up there with the Pixar classics during their golden age.

I'll be honest I love Chinese animation but usually I have issues with their editing and script. The first one I enjoyed but felt it had flaws and wasn't at Pixar's level. However, the sequel went above and beyond. Nazha 2 is the one Chinese animated movie that has perfected the art of Chinese filmmaking and reached top. And as someone who studies animation, I think the animation has surpassed Pixar. There were so many scenes where I would think, how on earth did they animate this and how long did it take to render a scene?

So far there are only 2 Chinese animation directors that I really respect and that is Li Haoling (To Be Hero, Ringing Fate, Link Click) and Jiaozi (Nezha).

Hopefully with Nezha's success, Chinese directors will start realizing that they need to really spend more doing pre-production and perfecting their scripts, storyboards and pre-viz

For a movie with a limited release, no marketing and most people aren't even aware of the IP / character, it is doing surprisingly well here in the US. I live in city with a large Asian population, so the theatre was packed. But if you live in a city w/o a large Chinese population, the theatre will be empty.

I liked it way more than I thought I would! I was disappointed by its shallow and awkwardly-executed emotional moments and childish dialogue. I also disliked its heavy use of crude humor. But the fight choreography was shockingly cool, the visuals were amazing, and its critique of power was thoughtful enough.
