Chinese animated blockbuster Ne Zha 2, the highest-grossing animated film of all time, has been warmly received by Cambodian moviegoers after its premiere in the Southeast Asian country on Tuesday.
Legend Cinema, Cambodia's most well-known and leading movie theater, was the first to screen Ne Zha 2. It scheduled a total of 139 screenings of the animated film in its over 10 cinemas across Cambodia on Tuesday, with many showings completely sold out.
Based on a 16th-century Chinese mythology with a bold reinterpretation, the movie has captivated global audiences with its stunning visuals, well-crafted storytelling, and profound cultural heritage.
Many audiences in Cambodia have responded enthusiastically after watching the movie.
"I give this movie a 10 out of 10. It excels in cinematography and music, and the character movements are well crafted," said Khen, a moviegoer.
The film is set to have over 100 screenings per day across Cambodia next week, according to the cinema screening schedule.

Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodriguez said on Sunday that the country is at a critical stage and must achieve national unity, emphasizing that maintaining internal cohesion is of utmost importance.
In a televised address, Rodriguez called on the public to continue trusting the government under the current highly complex political circumstances.
Her statement comes in the wake of a January 3 military operation conducted by the United States, during which Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were taken into custody and flown out of the country.
The operation resulted in at least 100 fatalities.
Rodriguez, who was sworn in as acting president two days later on January 5, framed her appeal for unity against this backdrop of external intervention.
Meanwhile, Venezuelan Minister of Communication and Information Freddy Nanez denounced the U.S. actions as a "war crime of the 21st century" when speaking at an international cultural event on Sunday.
Nanez condemned not only the January 3 airstrikes but also the associated cyber and electromagnetic attacks.
He accused the United States of violating international law through the forced removal of President Maduro and his wife, while attacks on civilian infrastructure, including medical facilities, represent a flagrant breach of humanitarian norms.
He reiterated that the stigmatization and military attacks against Venezuela are driven by economic interests, particularly the desire to control its abundant natural resources.
