On the first day of New Year’s Day, "Nezha’s Devil Children Naughting the Sea" landed in the IMAX theater "Yier" and returned to the IMAX big screen.
On January 9, 2025, IMAX China Holdings Co., Ltd. announced that the domestic animated film "The Devil’s Child in Nezha" will be converted into an IMAX version through the digital original copy (DMR) technology patented by IMAX, and will be released in the national IMAX theaters on January 29, 2025 in the format of IMAX 2D and IMAX 3D. The domestic animation, which set an IMAX box office record, launched a new chapter after five years, and the classic characters Nezha and Ao Bing, who had touched hundreds of millions of audiences, returned hand in hand, leading the audience to "open the year with wind and fire".
The exclusive IMAX poster and the exclusive preview of "Nezha’s Devil Children Naughting the Sea" were released on the same day. In the poster, thousands of tentacles are overwhelming, and young heroes are struggling to fight, highlighting the majestic temperament and delicate and true visual style. The preview exposes more new scenes, intuitively presenting the amazing texture of the film on the IMAX big screen. From the dragon attack to the monster beast’s siege, every "big scene" is either beautiful or magnificent visual spectacle, and every setting is full of extraordinary imagination and expressive power, which will ignite the even more shocking viewing enjoyment.
In 2019, the film’s predecessor, Ne Zha, was born in the summer. As the first domestic animated film to be shown in IMAX theaters, with its excellent word of mouth, the film became the first animated film in IMAX China to break the best box office record of all animated films shown in IMAX China theaters, carving a miracle of light and shadow that summer, and the phrase "My life is up to me, not the sky" has also become an annual memory echoing in the hearts of countless audiences. "Nezha’s Devil Children Roaring the Sea" continues to be the screenwriter and director by former director jiaozi. After years of polishing, the original crew has achieved all-round production upgrade on the basis of inheriting the previous story. Whether it’s a more stunning visual scene or a more imaginative myth, or a more passionate young hero story and sincere and pure emotion, it is expected to be fully displayed on the IMAX big screen, giving birth to a new screen spectacle.
After a five-year absence, "Nezha’s Devil Children Roaring the Sea" will continue to present the audience with unimaginable audio-visual wonders, which are in perfect harmony with IMAX cinema’s indomitable big screen, high-definition and bright picture quality, and earth-shaking sound. With the "within reach" IMAX 3D immersion experience, the audience will feel as if they are in the bloody world of Nezha, and every detail of the film will be presented to the audience with an amazing three-dimensional sense, from the rotating track of Nezha hot wheels to the magic light and shadow of the fairy fighting. With the return of "Yi Er" to the IMAX screen, the audience will explore the ethereal and mysterious celestial world and the deep and strange Dragon Palace with his footsteps. Not only will they be visually shocked, but they will also resonate with the characters on the same frequency and deeply emotionally. Together with Nezha, they will experience growth and challenges, and jointly write this passionate chapter of young heroes.
On the first day of New Year’s Day, "Nezha’s Devil Children Roaring the Sea" will land in IMAX theaters nationwide, opening a new year full of vitality with the audience.
