In many audiences' minds, Ne Zha and Monkey King share a lot in common. On the one hand, both are lone dissidents and fighters, refusing to resign（投降） themselves to destiny. On the other hand, the two mythological figures have been recreated with bold innovation, giving audiences a brand-new take on the two classic images through animation.
在许多观众心目中，哪吒和孙悟空有很多共同点。一方面，他们都是孤独的反叛者和战士，不屈从于命运的安排。另一方面，两位导演都对这两个神话人物进行了大胆的再创造，通过动画形式让观众对这两个经典人物形象有了全新认识。
The first-ever interaction between Ne Zha and Monkey King was made possible thanks to the friendship between Ne Zha's director Jiaozi, and Tian Xiaopeng, director of Monkey King: Hero is Back.
哪吒和大圣之间的首次互动得益于两位导演之间的友谊——《哪吒之魔童降世》的导演饺子，和《西游记之大圣归来》的导演田晓鹏。
Tian knew of Jiaozi and reached out to him following the success of his maiden film. Days earlier, Tian also posted a blog on his Weibo account suggesting that Jiaozi and Ne Zha have unlimited potential.
在饺子首部（动画）电影走红后，田晓鹏听说了饺子的大名并主动联系了他。几天前，田晓鹏还发了一条微博，称饺子和《哪吒》的潜能不可限量。
Jiaozi also commended Tian's influence on him. The sweeping success of Hero is Back enabled many domestic animators to see Chinese audiences' support for quality animation productions, which reinforced the young director's determination to go all out to create premium animations.
饺子本人也深受田晓鹏的影响，对其赞赏有佳。他表示，《大圣归来》的大获成功让众多国内动画师看到了中国观众对优质动画作品的支持，这坚定了导演饺子全力以赴制作优质动画的决心。
