Analysis of the Integration Path of Digital Technology and Oriental Aesthetics: A Case Study of the Visual Effect Construction of Key Characters and Important Scenes in Nezha2

Abstract

Chinese animation films have evolved over several decades, developing from early rough production methods to an industrial, systematic, and digital stage. Released in 2025, Nezha2 achieved a global box office of $2.26 billion, marking a dual breakthrough in technology and art. Its astonishing visual spectacle realizes a deep integration of Chinese mythology and modern technology. Firstly, this paper analyzed the digital generation logic of the core characters and key scenes in Nezha2. Secondly, it synthesized the integration path of intrinsic oriental aesthetic genes and modern digital animation technology, providing theoretical references and practical models for China’s domestic animation industry.
