The Wait For It Podcast

We dive into the Chinese animated phenomenon Ne Zha on this episode, exploring how this little-known film and its sequel became the highest-grossing animated movies of all time while most Western audiences have never heard of them. Whether you're an animation enthusiast or simply curious about international cinema that's breaking records, Ne Zha offers stunning visuals, emotional storytelling, and cultural insights that shouldn't be missed. • Based on Chinese folk religion, Ne Zha tells the story of a protection deity born as a devil incarnate instead of a hero • First film released in 2019 on a modest $22 million budget with stunning animation that rivals Western studios • Character development shines with Ne Zha starting as an irritating troublemaker but evolving through emotional depth • Nezha 2 has grossed approximately $2 billion worldwide, primarily from the Chinese market • Animation quality in action sequences demonstrates exceptional skill that highlights "laziness" from other studios • Third film likely in development with anticipation building for how they'll top the spectacular second installment Letterbox'd Synopsis (Ne Zha 2019): The Primus extracts a Mixed Yuan Bead into a Spirit Seed and a Demon Pill. The Spirit Seed can be reincarnated as a human to help King Zhou establish a new dynasty, whereas the Demon Pill will create a devil threatening humanity. Ne Zha is the one who is destined to be the hero, but instead he becomes a devil incarnate, because the Spirit Seed and a Demon Pill are switched. 🔻You can find all important links for the podcast over at https://linktr.ee/waitforitpodcast🔺 🔻BACKGROUND MUSIC PROVIDED BY: Ocean by KV https://soundcloud.com/kvmusicprod  Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/2OCvpHU Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/a8ctDtA7OK8 — Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported  — CC BY 3.0 🔺  Enjoyed the episode?
