One of the big surprises of the last year in theaters was Ne
Zha, China’s big blockbuster animated film, which came out to some serious
money in theaters. Not only did it make a massive splash overseas, but it ended
up garnering quite the theatrical run in the US too. The main reason for its
success is how confident and well-executed it is as a film. Ne Zha is a
wild, colorful, and full immersive animated experience, brimming with family-style humor and yet slathered in traditional Chinese fantasy and littered with
incredibly well-executed action set pieces. If you want more, please feel free
to read through my full review of the film from last here HERE.
The purpose of this update is not to necessarily rehash the
quality of the film, but to let our readers know that it’s now available to own.
Ne Zha is available on multiple formats via Well Go USA. Each of the
releases is focused solely on the film itself and it features both dubbed and
subbed versions of the film for those who want the choice (subbed is my
preferred method, but people love them dubs). For those looking for a slew of
special features, then this isn’t necessarily the release for that – but the
film itself is easily worth the purchase. Considering the visual style of the
film, the higher the resolution than the higher the recommendation. The visual and audio focused cinephile will not complain about the quality that is on display here. This is one
that is getting the UHD 4K quality release too – which includes the superior
artwork anyway in my opinion.
Although Ne Zha doesn’t feature a lot of extras, the
quality of the releases are fantastic. The film is worth checking out just to
see the beginning of an obvious new age of Chinese animation (and its own
franchise) so it comes highly recommended.
