Description: The animated film “White Snake 2: The Tribulation of the Green Snake” serves as a sequel to the 2019 Chinese movie “White Snake,” shifting its focus to Xiao Qing, the Green Snake, who takes center stage this time. Released on July 23, 2021, the film distinguishes itself from its predecessor by presenting a cyber-punk-inspired setting in a dystopian world where individuals who have lost their way in the cycle of reincarnation are trapped. This contrasts sharply with the first film, which was set in ancient China, where demons freely interacted with humans. The story follows Xiao Qing’s journey after she and her sister, Xiao Bai, fail to rescue Xu Xian. While Xiao Bai is imprisoned in the Leifeng Pagoda, Xiao Qing is transported to a strange realm filled with lost souls. Her quest to return home becomes a path of self-discovery, as she encounters various characters and learns their stories. The film both concludes the narrative of the first movie and hints at the possibility of future sequels.
