Move over, Hollywood—China’s animation game is leveling up! 🚀 The Nezha 2 phenomenon continues to shatter expectations, earning global applause and box office gold. At this year’s Shanghai International Film Festival, Irish director Nora Twomey (The Breadwinner) dropped some serious wisdom about why this film’s success matters.
As chair of the Golden Goblet Awards Animation Competition jury, Twomey told CGTN’s Melody Zhang that Nezha 2 represents a cultural bridge 🌉: "It’s not just about stunning visuals—it’s about universal stories that make audiences everywhere feel seen." The film’s blend of ancient Chinese mythology and modern storytelling has become a blueprint for cross-border appeal.
With animation studios worldwide taking notes 📝, Nezha 2 proves Asia’s creative industries are rewriting the rules. Could this spark a new wave of culturally rooted blockbusters? Twomey’s verdict: "When you honor tradition while embracing innovation, magic happens." ✨
