Ne Zha (Chinese: 哪吒之魔童降世; pinyin: Nézhā zhī Mótóng Jiàngshì; lit. 'Birth of the demon child Nezha'), also spelled Nezha, is a 2019 Chinese 3D computer animation fantasy adventure film directed and written by Jiaozi. Its animation production is done by the director's own Chengdu Coco Cartoon. Featuring the popular Chinese mythological character Nezha, the plot is loosely based on the classic 16th-century novel Investiture of the Gods, attributed to Xu Zhonglin.

It was released in China exclusively in IMAX and China Film Giant Screen theatres on 13 July 2019, followed by other theatres on 26 July, distributed by Beijing Enlight Pictures. It is the first Chinese-produced animated feature released in IMAX format, and, despite being the debut feature of its director and animation studio, and having no widely known actors in its voice cast, it has been one of the biggest commercial successes in Chinese cinema, setting numerous records for box-office grosses: as of August 2019, the film is the highest-grossing animated film in China, the worldwide highest-grossing non-U.S. animated film, and the second worldwide highest-grossing non-English-language film of all time. With a gross of over $725 million, it was that year's fourth-highest-grossing animated film, and China's all time second-highest-grossing film.

It began a North American release on 29 August 2019 in select IMAX 3D theatres, before a nationwide rollout on 6 September. It was selected as the Chinese entry for Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards, becoming the first animated film from China to ever do so, but it was not nominated.

A second film set in the same universe, titled Legend of Deification, was released on 1st October 2020, which is National Day in China.

The movie has so much crammed in that it feels too long and too short at the same time. There are so many ideas that the movie throws at audience but it works best when its gorgeous animation takes full advantage of action scenes because then it can just focus on that particular arc (even though it manages to include almost 2-3 arcs in action scenes as well). The film works best as visual extravagance but other than the central story everything else feels undercooked, thankfully there is a lot of action and main conflict that keeps this afloat.
