Marvel at the Opulent Scenery of 'Ne Zha II' Movie
In the world of animated epics, few films can rival the visual splendour and mythological depth of "Ne Zha II". This much-anticipated sequel, set to premiere on August 22, is a testament to Beijing Enlight Media's commitment to the concept of "every frame a painting".
The background art for "Ne Zha II", now available for viewing, showcases the film's lavish backdrops. From the fiery depths of the underworld to the ethereal beauty of the celestial realm, each scene is a masterpiece that promises an immersive and awe-inspiring viewing experience.
The story of "Ne Zha II" continues the journey of the mythological character Ne Zha, played by Crystal Lee, and his friend Ao Bing, voiced by Aleks Le. After a sacrifice, only Ne Zha's body can be recreated, and during the process, Ne Zha absorbs the samadhi fire from a cauldron, being reborn with a new body.
Ne Zha and Ao Bing find themselves in the midst of a battle against dragons, demons, and heavenly armies. Ao Bing stays behind to help Ne Zha expose the antagonist Wuliang’s nature, while Ne Zha contends with the wrath of Ao Bing's dragon father, Ao Guang, his aunts and uncles, and his former teacher Shen Gongbao.
Ne Zha's journey is not without trials. He and Ao Bing must obtain an elixir to restore the Sacred Lotus and make Ne Zha immortal, all while facing formidable enemies and personal conflicts. The film explores themes of identity, legacy, and internal struggle, framed within mythological and political drama.
The English-language release of "Ne Zha II" will feature Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh and anime favourite Aleks Le. The main voice cast also includes Rick Zieff as Master Taiyi Zhenren, Daniel Riordan as Lord Shen Gongbao, and Christopher Swindle as Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea.
