The hit Chinese movie Na Zha 2 is in theaters in the USA. The first Na Zha came out in 2019. Na Zha 2, is a continuation of one epic story, first told in ancient China. You can think of it like The Hobbit movies by Peter Jackson: one book, broken into two movies.
If you’re going to see Na Zha 2 then of course you need to watch the first part beforehand, and fortunately, you can do that for free on YouTube, in English no less! The movie is 1h 50m long and has outstanding animation.

If you really like the story, I would recommend watching the 1979 animation. It’s only 58-minutes long and covers the entire story that the new version of Na Zha takes about 4 1/2-hours to cover. It’s a little like watching a 1950s Disney film.
Mythological Themes
Movies based on mythological tales have the advantage that they are already well-told stories. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t have been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds or thousands of years. Over time, these stories are polished from one storyteller to another, and the best versions are passed along to the present.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

Na Zha: a small part of a larger story
The story told in Na Zha is essentially one chapter in a one-hundred-chapter story: Investiture of the Gods (wiki). Chinese mythology has a fantastic depth. You could spend a lifetime absorbing it and never finish.
Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
