For a long time, I didn't value watching animation.The budget and film's running time just don't justify the ticket price for cinema - until I watched Ne Zha 2.
The story was humorous and engaging. The visual was stunning. The friendship, family values and betrayal tugged my heartstrings. For almost 2.5 hours, I was immensely entertained and didn't feel the drag.
It was and epic to me. See it for yourself and judge yourself objectively, and give due credit if it deserves so.
Great movies transcend movie studios, nationalities and geopolitics!
