Published on December 17, 2024 11:05AM EDT By Nancy Miller

Nezha, based on a Chinese fairy tale, tells the story of nezha's growing up as a "demon" but "fighting against the sky". The opening ceremony of the 12th China international cartoon festival and the 16th China animation golden dragon awards ceremony was held in guangzhou on September 6, 2019. "Nezha's demon boy" won the best animated feature award, best animated director award, best animated screenplay award and best animated voice acting award. Nezha has received mixed reviews since its release. Drama is not nonsense, adaptation is not nonsense. Nezha conquers "really good enough, but did not break away from the soul hunter which zha in the framework of the story, only in a few important plot points on the rich modern meaning and the adaptation of the milk of human kindness, a subversive innovation, at the same time, there is no deviation which zha the character itself is rebellious and dare to dare to personality, fall within the scope of reasonable adaptation. Are a lot of people are a little pessimistic about this movie before, largely because which zha image of accept incompetence, nezha conquers legend "after the 80, 90, after the influence of the audience is too deep, when which zha animation, it would naturally to mind the" two plumes Jiu, bare little feet, both on the hot wheels, quan hand "of the classic image.

One firewood is not prosperous, many firewood fire high. One man can not carry a thousand jin load, people can move ten thousand mountains. The success of nezha and the rise of China national cartoon cannot be separated from every staff member who works behind the scenes. In this let us pay tribute to all the staff behind the scenes, also hope that our country can shine, do more and more strong!

Which zha also have this set, but his facial image is gothic sootiness makeup wind, black rim of the eye, dense evil spirit's smile always, HuoYa grin, dangling from his mouth like a punk, walk to play around, completely is a street small gangster manner, such that will challenge the part of the audience's aesthetic. On the one hand, it forms a sharp contrast with "shuai nezha" after awakening, creating a highly combustible effect. On the other hand, when the audience goes into nezha's inner world, especially when they feel pity for him gradually with his experience, they will find that this form of cynicism is the protective wall that the child built for himself. Almost every character in the movie to be able to stand, especially around the awakening of which zha, affection, friendship is a reasonable and moving, can say these three lines each singled out to want to do is not easy, still be in the audience has the story familiar cases, the effect of the final image is really touched and combustion. In fact, the essence of the movie is to explore the theme of "man can conquer nature". Becoming a Buddha and becoming a devil is all about one thought. The most important thing is to be yourself. In the movie, we can see a group of typical "Chinese viewers", who listen to the wind is the rain and live completely in blind obedience and paralysis, especially like the old man who holds a crutch and can't tell the direction, but also the representative who knows nothing about right and wrong. This group of Chen tangguan people is very similar to people around us in reality, most of them will only one-sided public opinion condemnation in the face of things, not to distinguish the truth behind the things. From this point of view, nezha is somewhat ironic.

The 2020 Academy Awards officially announced the nominees for best animated feature film, with 32 entries in the category: domestic animation "nezha's demon child", co-productions "white snake" and "the snowman", as well as "frozen 2", "toy story 4" and "how to train your dragon 3". Nezha is a movie that has gathered the power of the whole industry in China to give our little nezha the hardest armor.

More than two weeks after its release in North America, "nezha's demon child" has received 80 percent positive reviews from critics and 98 percent positive feedback from audiences on rotten tomatoes. But the film has so far grossed less than $3 million, or about a 250 percent of its domestic total, according to box office tracker box office. "Nezha" gives people a glimpse of the rise of Chinese animated films. Although it has achieved the second highest box office in the history of Chinese films, we should look at the gap between ourselves and those giants of animated films, Disney's dreamworks. Disney's animated movies have been represented the highest level of global animation films, not only popular in the United States, is also popular in the world, Disney's outstanding works more abound, such as "city of wild animals", "beast corps", "ice", such as movies, made a good reputation in the world and the box office. After all, Chinese animated films have just started. One of the important reasons why nezha met cold is the difference between Chinese and western cultures. "Nezha conquers the film comes from traditional Chinese fairy tale, whether the characters in the play, or the story background, has a strong Chinese characteristics, this movie has a strong sense of Chinese traditional culture, the foreign nature is not accepted by foreigners, and accepted the foreigners to understand Chinese traditional culture, after all, are much rarer. Although in recent years, China's rapid economic growth has made a lot of remarkable achievements, but China is still a developing country, with the western developed countries still have a large gap, under such a big gap, natural culture is not high, esteemed movies on behalf of the Chinese traditional culture which zha natural also won't get much attention and recognition.
