Our take

A long animated fantasy sequel with spectacular action, demon and monster imagery, and themes of identity and loyalty. Battles, dragon clans and perilous trials drive much of the runtime, with occasional mild to moderate English profanity in dialogue. Suits tweens and teens who like big-scale fantasy animation.

Uplifting themes

Loyalty, choosing your own path and protecting others run through the quest Ne Zha and his allies push back against prejudice and fight to protect their community

Story (may spoil tone)

After a catastrophic event leaves their bodies destroyed, Ne Zha and Ao Bing are granted a fragile second chance at life. As tensions rise between the dragon clans and celestial forces, the two must undergo a series of perilous trials that will test their bond, challenge their identities, and decide the fate of both mortals and immortals.
