Our take
All Wishes Come True! (Ba Xian!) is a Mandarin animated adventure-comedy inspired by the Eight Immortals legend. Eight ordinary misfits pose as gods to pull off a heavenly heist while a shadow conspiracy threatens the world. Fandango lists death as a stake for anyone caught, but trade coverage frames it as broad family comedy with slapstick schemes. Dialogue is in Mandarin. Best for school-age kids who enjoy long animated epics; very young viewers may struggle with the 2h 24m runtime.
Uplifting themes
Teamwork, courage, and outsmarting powerful odds with heart Eight misfits grow into heroes through loyalty and cleverness Introduces Eight Immortals folklore through modern animated comedy
Story (may spoil tone)
Eight grassroot mortals use their street smarts and hilarious schemes to defy powerful gods, earning their title as the Eight Immortals.
