donghua film Ne Zha 2 has just became the highest grossing animated film of all time! 🇨🇳

@ForgotEyeWasHere some Donghua has some great use of CGI as well.

You'd have to be a fool to believe Chinese propaganda. Happened to the fools who invested in gsx, nio, iq, etc. stocks and lost a lot of money. Not to mention all those education scam stocks. They even lie about their demographics.

So believing that a china only movie made more than movies available globally on 6 continents betrays peoples' lack of critical thinking. It's been 3 years since people got burned for believing their news and stats when trading their stocks and the masses already forgot about it? Sad.

Also wikipedia is not a reliable source and the two linked articles are a joke, since one just parrots the other so there's just one source, a chinese one. It's becoming a very common tactic, reminds me of the guy writing about the black samurai book and editing the wikipedia articles about it for profits.

@robertino129 but every animation news website says it’s true.

@Old_School_Akira

Better question, why are you such an attention seeking troll?

@Old_School_Akira " According to data from Chinese ticketing platform" "was confirmed by Chinese state media" hilarious seeing bad actors such as yourself quoting basically the same source repackaged on obscure sites that don't even show up on google trends. Only fools who don't read the sources believe you and I am no fool.


By that logic why would anyone that lost even one dollar by investing in fraudulent chinese stocks not hate chinese people? Faking sale numbers, lying about building factories, lying about customers, etc..

Go spread your lying propaganda somewhere else, this movie couldn't even break 10 million$ on opening weekend in US and Canada and is nowhere to be seen in the EU or India. Even assuming they would get 50% of the ticket sales (they don't), they'd need to sell over 600 million tickets in China to reach those numbers as a movie ticket costs 5$ over there. Do you people really think the vast majority of people can't do basic math?

Lying propaganda?
Looks like someone is a sinophobe.

@Old_School_Akira Once again the lying chinese assumes people won't read the source, same exact one as all the other news sources.

"according to data from ticketing platform Maoyan."

Go spread your lying propaganda somewhere else.

@alshu this is what I got back from a research:



those sources were considered during the research

Looks alright, saw a different one different then this and I don't even remember what it was called.

Never heard of this or seen it anywhere.

Whatever locations it's at, whatever streaming, theater, whatever the case and population/prices I guess.

@robertino129 it’s facts.
Not propaganda

1. "The Chinese platform Maoyan is predicting "
2. "Per Reuters" -> https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/chinese-film-nezha-2-becomes-highest-grossing-animated-film-globally-2025-02-18/
-> "according to data from ticketing platform Maoyan"

Literally after I called you out for only posting a single chinese website as your source, maoyan, all you're doing is yet again posting articles directly referencing the same exact source.

Is that how you people do in China, repost the single, only existing source, packaged on multiple websites, claiming that's multiple sources? And you even reposted reuters again, which I already called out 3 replies ago that it referenced the same exact source as your very first one, the same platform.

Typical propaganda, repeating the same thing until it sticks.

If you live in the USA, Canada or Australia you can watch the movie in theatres now.

It will be releasing other countries soon

@robertino129 Jesus dude, get a clue. You see the effort the bloke puts in to promoting the movie?

Now go watch it. And stop jacking off to yourself in the mirror pretend-fighting "the good fight".

Yep, there are other Ne Zha entries too despite not being part of the same continuity which is loosely connected to begin with.
But nobody talks about that. Nobody talks about the story, the characters, the lore, the simple fact why this is marked as second movie, despite being the third (which is also not entirely correct) ect.
Many people are like "THIS MADE A LOT OF MONEY, IT MUST BE GOOD!"...like what's it about, is it potentially my cup of tea? Tell me that if you want me to be interested in this franchise.
The closest description was "It's a Christmas Movie". (By the logic that Die Hard is a christmas movie or what?)

One day I may be interested in that franchise, but right now I have zero drive to do so, especially when some people try to push it in my face.

But a lot of sport fans enjoy better the performance of their favorite team or individual competitor instead of the scoring. They will respect/support those despite having a bad season or two.

@BirdyTheMighty no thanks, I don't watch trash. Also, grow up child, your insults are middle school level. It's clear that you've never fought for anything in your life since you believe an argument equates a fight. I guess it's normal when you've got nothing in your life that you care about.

@robertino129 Im not having a fight or argument with you, its entirety one sided on your end mate.

I just told you to appreciate other peoples promotion efforts and watch the wonderful, state approved show. Which is a normal thing we all do. Now proceed with the viewing of the Chinese movie

I'm glad you people in China are enjoying it, but it's not normal for everyone to watch CCP approved movies where I live.

@robertino129 you sound mad that this non-anime donghua film made a lot of money.

Cope harder.



Even the director of Disney’s mulan is impressed.

@Old_School_Akira @BirdyTheMighty








Hilarious coming from the guys frothing at the mouth that every single one of his messages was disproven and then has to resort to ad hominem attacks.

Project more, bots, it won't change the fact that the math doesn't add up and you all have a single source, maoyan, the fraudsters. 600 million ticket sales in china is an obvious lie, as well as every single link posted going back to the single ticketing platform.

Mo dao zu shi is vastly more popular and the numbers reflect reality far more than this obvious lie.

@robertino129 wait a second, Ne Zha 2 is full CGI? Eww.

I stand corrected. Please forget everything I said about watching it, and accept my sincerest apologies. Nobody should be subjected to such horrors. I am deeply disappointed China, do better next time by choosing the side of good (2D). Give us more Link Click and Mo Dao Zu Shi


Now, back to ad hominem attacks and directly insulting you for being a dumbass, because this is the internet and I can:

What exactly do you think you're achieving? You're not even getting paid for it. At least the bot/troll/ whatever is getting a salary for his efforts, and I get entertainment out of the entire thing. Do you get off on seeing yourself as a hero for fighting a bot?

was it the Netflix one?

Donghua will eventually surpass anime in popularity. People started watching anime because of its Japanese appeal. Sadly, anime companies let Americans into production committees, which westernized anime, and now the industry is collapsing because of it. I hope donghua companies don't make the same mistakes that anime companies did.

@ForgotEyeWasHere
Huh? how is Anime "westernized"? Not counting stuff based on western properties, of course.

The closest I can think of is mainstream Jump, but even then, stuff like Demon Slayer, JJK, CSM and DanDaDan has overt Japanese imagery. Anime as a whole still has a lot of fanservice, uniquely Japanese storytelling, influences... Even if there's stories set in the west or starring westerners, that's been the case since the 80's?

If anything, Ne Zha 2 is more western than most Anime, everything I see from this movie just screams Dreamworks to me, which is fitting because China was surprised by how good and accurate Kung-fu Panda was, so they began investing on Animation to surpass it.

This movie was only popular in China btw, while if anything, Anime is more popular and successful than it's ever been. And if anything, that western fame kept the medium from stagnating on shitt Isekai/Harem slop, even if that still exists, with more unique, good stuff being greenlit.

It could be my anime bias talking, but I'd rather watch Asian animation that looks Japanese and not American. Given the success of Ne Zha, I guess China disagrees.

I've not heard of the film, I concur with the opinion of @robertino129, that we can't trust the Chinese Government and Agencies to reliably and truthfully report there statistics. They are likely hoping to scam a bunch of investors to stupid to realize they are being duped.

@AnimePedestrian all news sites reported about these records that this movie is breaking so it must be true.

@Old_School_Akira They also peddled the well COVID cover up. So I mean it might be true but anything out of a dictatorship I take with a heavy pinch of salt

@AnimePedestrian
She probably believes everything they said about covid too.

@ForgotEyeWasHere

Unfortunately, it’s not going to surpass anime any time soon. Donghua is more niche compared to anime and is also more prone to censorship. Even the most well known Donghua in the West, Link Click, isn’t even more popular than something like Oddtaxi or Sonny boy.

You’ll never get a donghua like legend of the galactic heroes or psycho pass or any good anime like that. The CCP is super restrictive and you can easily take a gander at a list of banned anime in China to understand that.

Keep in mind that most of Ne Zha’s box office numbers were from its home country. There’s a lot of people living in China.

You'd have to be a fool to believe Chinese propaganda. Happened to the fools who invested in gsx, nio, iq, etc. stocks and lost a lot of money. Not to mention all those education scam stocks. They even lie about their demographics.
