I’ve been trying to re-watch it and this explains why it’s unavailable.
As someone who only knows western (aka Greco/Roman) mythology/cosmology and only the bare basics of others - including Chinese mythology, I was able to follow the storyline despite symbolism and (full) meaning not being perspicuous. It was still a cinematic delight especially on the big screen.
Interestingly, I then re-watched Ne Zha (1) and the extra information and nuance gained from Ne Zha 2 enhanced my second viewing. Or perhaps I was blinded by bias from the magnificence of NZ2. Either way, rare is the sequel which so utterly eclipses its progenitor.
