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.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let's you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It's really a wonderful app. I've subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn't seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven't tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn't make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We'll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

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.
