麻豆社

Ne Zha 2 has just become the highest-grossing animated film of all time globally. It鈥檚 a fantasy film about a boy鈥檚 quest, fighting demons with magical powers, based on Chinese mythology. It鈥檚 now in the top 10 biggest movies in history and it could end up beating Avatar, as people are still going to see it. This is the first time the Chinese film industry - which is in large part controlled by the information arm of the Chinese Communist Party - has created such a successful film.

麻豆社 journalist Koh Ewe explains why this film has been such a hit, and what this tells us about Chinese cinema. Kerry Allen, who monitors Chinese media for the 麻豆社, explains what the reaction鈥檚 been like in China and film reviewer Sully from @SullyStreams on YouTube gives us his verdict on the film.
