The Elixir - 2025

Ne Zha 2 (Chinese: 哪吒之魔童闹海; pinyin: Nézhā zhī Mótóng nào hǎi; also known as 哪吒2; Nézhā èr)[5] is a 2025 Chinese 3D-animated adventure fantasy action film written and directed by Jiaozi. The direct sequel to Ne Zha (2019),[6] it is based on the Chinese mythological character and Xu Zhonglin's 16th-century novel Investiture of the Gods (Fengshen Yanyi).[6] The film takes up the story of Chinese mythological character Ne Zha and his friend Ao Bing. After a sacrifice, only Ne Zha’s body can be recreated, although he carries Ao Bing’s spirit within. Ne Zha calls on this spirit in his fight against wicked Master Shen.

Ne Zha 2 was released in theaters across China on 29 January 2025, coinciding with the first day of the Chinese New Year.[7] Like its predecessor, the film received highly positive reviews from critics, and achieved even greater commercial success at a gross of $2.2 billion[8] worldwide against a production budget of US$80 million. Ne Zha 2 broke numerous box office records inside and outside China, including becoming the highest-grossing film in a single box office territory, the highest-grossing animated film, the highest-grossing non-English language film and the first animated film in history to cross the $2 billion mark, as well as being the highest-selling animated film based on ticket sales. It also ranks as the highest-grossing film of 2025 and the fifth-highest-grossing film of all time.[9] The film's English dub was released in the United States on 22 August 2025 by A24, with Michelle Yeoh (playing Lady Yin) leading a new cast of voice actors including Crystal Lee, Griffin Puatu, Aleks Le, Vincent Rodriguez III, Rick Zeiff, and William Utay among others. A sequel is in development.

After Ne Zha and Ao Bing are struck by godly lightning together, their bodies are destroyed.[a] To prevent their souls from dying, Master Taiyi Zhenren exhausts his Seven-Colored Sacred Lotus to regenerate their physical bodies, though they are still fragile. Ao Bing's father, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, believing his son is dead, orders Master Shen Gongbao to attack Chentang Pass with the demons imprisoned under his palace and the other three Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. Ao Bing defends Chentang Pass, but his new body disintegrates due to the effort exerted.
