Produced by Pearl Studio, the acclaimed animation company behind Kung Fu Panda 3, Abominable, and the Academy Award-nominated Over the Moon, All Wishes Come True! reimagines the traditional mythology through a contemporary comedic lens. Blending fantasy, humor, and adventure, the story follows eight ordinary mortals who outwit formidable gods with wit and courage, proving that even mortals can challenge the divine and earn the title of the legendary Eight Immortals.
Written and directed by Mu Zhengyang, with action design by Hong Kong Film Awards winner Su Hang (The Shadow's Edge) and voice direction by Chen Hao (Ne Zha), the film brings together acclaimed talent from across China's film and animation industries.
Following the record-breaking success of Ne Zha 2, which grossed more than US$2.2 billion worldwide, and the continued expansion of Chinese animation in overseas markets, with the sector reaching US$9.3 billion in 2025, All Wishes Come True! represents the latest effort to bring another of China's most beloved mythological tales to audiences worldwide.
