Na Tra holds the top spot in global box office revenue for 2025, while other international blockbusters fail to achieve box office success.

The 2025 film market is witnessing a rare phenomenon as the animated film "Nezha: The Mischievous Child of the Sea" explodes at the box office globally. This animated film from China holds an unprecedented record.

Specifically, "Nezha: The Mischievous Child of the Sea" not only broke box office records repeatedly, but it also became the most talked-about animated film of the year, attracting strong interest from both critics and the general public. The film's resounding success is considered a memorable milestone for the animation industry, especially for works that explore mythological themes.

According to statistics, "Nezha: The Mischievous Child of the Sea" grossed 15.446 billion yuan at the Chinese box office, far surpassing many strong competitors and officially becoming the highest-grossing domestic film of 2025.

The large box office gap between the film and its successors demonstrates its superior appeal and its rare ability to maintain popularity throughout its long run. This is something not every animated film can achieve, especially in an increasingly competitive market.

Not content with just domestic success, "Nezha: The Mischievous Child of the Sea" has made a strong impact on the global film map. According to Maoyan, the film's total global revenue has reached $2.199 billion, temporarily leading the world box office rankings for 2025. This figure is particularly impressive for an animated film, having to compete directly with a series of action and superhero blockbusters from major Hollywood franchises. This achievement also demonstrates the film's powerful reach beyond cultural and market barriers.

Experts believe that the success of "Nezha: The Mischievous Child of the Sea" stems from the harmonious combination of popular entertainment and a modern storytelling style. The film explores the familiar Nezha character from mythology, but avoids clichés. Instead, the story is refreshed with a fast pace, intense rhythm, and well-developed characters with distinct personalities. The main character is not just a mythical hero, but also possesses inner conflicts and a desire for self-affirmation, resonating deeply with today's young audience.

Besides the content, the visuals and special effects are also a major plus, contributing significantly to the film's overall success. The grand scenes are spectacular, the colors are vibrant, and the movements are smooth, creating a visually stunning experience on the big screen. Modern animation technology is utilized to its fullest potential, making the mythical world appear both fantastical and realistic. This element has helped "Nezha: The Mischievous Child of the Sea" expand its audience, attracting not only children but also adults and viewers who don't usually watch animated films.

The film's unexpected success also reflects a shift in audience tastes. More and more people are willing to embrace animated adaptations of mythology, as long as they are retold in a fresh, creative, and accessible way. "Nezha: The Mischievous Child of the Sea" has proven that traditional material can be appealing if properly modernized to suit contemporary life and mindset.
