The highest-grossing animated film ever is coming to a cinema near you
Ne Zha 2 is a Chinese blockbuster that has earned $3.4 billion. That figure is about to rise, thanks to an English-language version featuring Michelle Yeoh.
When Michelle Yeoh first saw Ne Zha 2 in Hong Kong, she walked away dreaming about a dubbed version.
The Chinese blockbuster, which this year became the highest-grossing animated film of all time with more than $US2.2 billion ($3.4 billion) in ticket sales, had seemed to her like an ideal movie for a global, all-ages audience. But even she, who had the benefit of knowing Mandarin, was having trouble keeping up with the subtitles and all the spectacular things happening on screen. How would a kid stand a chance?
