positive · AI labelView post →I think all of you should get into The Legend of Luo Xiaohei and its two feature films, The Legend of Hei 1&2 with the same glee as I've had for the franchise.

positive · AI labelView post →Watched “The Legend of Hei” tonight with some big babies and it was a good time Ne Zha from the popular film series “Ne Zha” even made a cameo
positive · AI labelView post →Like the first film, The Legend of Hei 2 doesn’t rewrite any rules of its genre but is an example of when everything is just well done. Great world building, lore, character, action, animation, and humour. In a weak year this is my 2nd favourite animated film so far this year. Worth checking out.
positive · AI labelView post →Also 2019's The Legend of Hei, which looks adorable and whose new sequel is also burning up the Chinese movie business, is available for free in the U.S. on Tubi and Hoopla and a few other places: www.justwatch.com/us/movie/the...
neutral · AI labelView post →You ever accidentally discover a film and you end up liking the film? Accidentally clicking on one you didn't mean to click on and it ends up being a happy accident? Anyways The Legend of Hei was rly good 10/10 cozy film. Imagine Spirited Away but if Chihiro were a cat.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Legend of Hei is an unexpected road trip movie, and there is some strong Mamoru Hosoda influence in Mtjj's direction. The animation here is really fluid, and has an indie vibe with its style. (1/2)

It’s a really wonderful movie and on September 5 that is when The Legend Of Hei 2 will be in theaters 🎉✨I am looking forward to it.

positive · AI labelView post →FL from Beware the Villainess 😭❤️. All characters from Ever After, Hei and Wuxian (The Legend of Hei, film), Crimson Peak (all charas), Haru (The Cat Returns), Tulip (Infinity Train), Anne (Amphibia), really loved Over the Garden Wall too. Sorry there's more but it may be a paragraph at this point 🤣
neutral · AI labelView post →like Ringing Fate is awesome, God Troubles Me is hilarious, Scissor Seven is a blast, The Legend of Hei was a great film. Big Fish and Begonia was pretty good.

neutral · AI labelView post →idk if you do international tv/movies but you could show them The Legend of Hei, which is an insanely good Chinese animated movie. just counter with some actual Chinese media to build associations
positive · AI labelView post →I just saw bits of "The Legend of Hei" and the second movie. And I went. "Oh... that section looks a LOT like what I wrote in book 2. Huh." But no, they are completely different things. However, I would absolutely love to get famous enough that people go "Hey wait a minute..."

positive · AI labelView post →The Legend of Hei II (#3 on this list) is an incredible animated film. It's in my personal top five of last year. Tricky to recommend because it doesn't seem to be easy to stream or even purchase, but if you get the chance, it's very good. The action, the worldbuilding, the quiet moments...
positive · AI labelView post →Rotten Tomatoes - The Legend of Hei 2 www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_legend... I think this film is excellent both as an animation and as a fantasy action movie. The adorable characters performing natural action scenes feel incredibly realistic. The background art is also beautiful.
