In recent years, China's animation industry has matured significantly, producing many high-cost, technically sophisticated domestic animated blockbusters. "Nezha: The Devil's Sea" is a prime example, creating a grand fantasy world with its stunning audiovisual effects. However, this technical brilliance raises the question: does it inadvertently "kidnap" the story and characters? The film continues the "punk spirit" of its predecessor "Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child," but explores conflicts between establishment and individual, rules and freedom, faith and doubt through its multi-line narrative, sparking debates about the modernization of mythology and the dialogue between traditional culture and contemporary audiences.
