Synopsis
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gave birth to a powerful orb known as the Hunyuan Pearl. Yuan Shi Tian Zun refined this orb into two artifacts: the Spirit Pearl, destined to reincarnate as a heroic human and bless the Zhou Dynasty, and the Demon Pill, fated to create a demon king destined for destruction. Yuan Shi Tian Zun decreed that in three years, the demon king would be destroyed by heavenly thunder. However, a mix-up causes the Spirit Pearl and Demon Pill to be swapped, resulting in Ne Zha, intended to be a hero, being born as a chaotic demon king. Despite his demonic nature, Ne Zha harbors a heart that yearns to be a hero. With only three years before the heavenly thunder strikes, can Ne Zha prove his worth and change his fate? Yu Yang directed this 2019 Chinese animated film.
