This article will analyse the film from the perspective of post-humanism in all aspects. In terms of characterisation, the image of Ne Zha, which transcends the traditional dichotomy, breaks the traditional character set-up, reflecting the blurring and reconstruction of the boundaries of identity by post-humanity; in terms of thematic expression, it explores the topics of destiny and self-resistance, and the complexity of human nature, which reflect the post-humanity’s rethinking of the nature of mankind. The advanced animation production technology creates a realistic and fantastic visual effect that expands human perception and experience and reflects the integration of technology and art. The film is an innovative adaptation of a traditional mythological story, striking a balance between cultural heritage and innovation in its narrative, and interpreting the classics from a modern perspective. The analysis of Ne Zha 1 aims to reveal the value of post-humanism in film creation, i.e. focusing on the diversity of characterisation, deepening thematic connotations, making rational use of technology, and tapping into the innovative potential of traditional culture, so as to promote the sustainable development of the film industry, and to provide innovative inspiration for the development of subsequent IP films.
