Two Hong Kong moviegoers shared their excitement after attending early screenings. One resident remarked, "I don't usually watch adult-oriented animated films, but this one is definitely worth watching. Chinese animation can now rival, or even surpass, foreign productions."

LO Shuk-pui, Director of the Hong Kong SAR Government's Culture, Sports, and Tourism Bureau, highlighted the film's collaborative effort, stating, "The script is exceptionally well-written, with sharp dialogue and rich character development. I heard 138 companies worked on this project over five years—the dedication and technical excellence are evident."

WONG Bak-ming, Chairman of Hong Kong's Oriental Film Company, emphasized its cultural significance, noting that Ne Zha series has successfully brought traditional Chinese stories to the global stage. It proves Chinese animation can achieve world-class results, and they're proud to contribute to this milestone.

From its mythological roots to its record-breaking success, Ne Zha 2 continues to redefine the possibilities of Chinese animation, bridging cultural heritage with global appeal.
