In response to Magnus Fiskesjö’s appeal for studies on Ne Zha films, I published a paper on the important 1979 iteration of Nezha from the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, Nezha Conquers the Dragon King (Nezha naohai 哪吒闹海 ). Sangren’s research into Nezha in Taiwan was very helpful to my paper. The father-son dynamic was “reworked” for this film: “Animation as Intertextual Cinema: Nezha naohai (Nezha Conquers the Dragon King).” Animation: an interdisciplinary journal, vol. 10, no. 3 (2015): 205-221.
