00:51child raised by humans who allies with dragon prince Ao Bing in a monumental quest to protect
00:57their clans.
00:59The film has been lauded for its stunning visuals and compelling storyline, achievements
01:04that required the collaboration of 138 animation companies and over 4,000 crew members over
01:10five years.
01:12While Nezha 2 is set for its official UK and Ireland release on March 21st, fans and VIPs
01:18were invited here to the British Film Institute in London to get an exclusive sneak peek ahead
01:24of its nationwide release on more than 200 screens.
01:27I was locked into my seat.
01:29It's just visually stunning.
01:31The choreography insane, the fight scene insane, the character animation absolutely insane.

01:41across Europe, its success underscoring the growing global appeal of Chinese cinema as

01:52I really enjoyed the movie.
01:54I was thoroughly entertained the entire time.
01:57It looks great on the big screen.
01:58It sounded fantastic.
02:00It's a huge step for the animation industry.
02:02It shows that there's more outside than just what the Western sphere knows.
02:07Amazing, you know what I mean?
02:08In the great words of the great Scorsese, this is cinema.
02:13With its record-breaking achievements and international acclaim, Nezha 2 exemplifies
02:18the rising prominence of Chinese productions on the global stage.
