From “NOBODY” to Something Extraordinary!

China’s All-Time No. 1 2D Animated Film Makes Its Way to Philippine Cinemas Starting February 4

Who are they? Just Nobody…

Nobody knows? No! It’s NOBODY!

The all-time No.1 2D Animated film in China, NOBODY, comes to the Philippine cinema this February 4!

As of January 26, NOBODY holds a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes’ Popcornmeter, and it is celebrated for its humor and inspiring tale of these overlooked heroes. Its impressions signal an appreciation for 2D animation rooted in cultural heritage blending satire, folklore, and emotional realism. 

Early critics and audiences have praised NOBODY for its hand-drawn animation and ink-wash-inspired art style, describing it as a feast for the eyes and a delight for its characters and creative world-building. They also commended how the film balances humor and heart, bringing charm to each little demon throughout their adventures. 

Don’t let their appearance and size fool you, these four little demons pack a big punch of heart and fun. These four nameless little demons — a pig, a toad, a weasel, and a gorilla, set off on a wild, fun-filled journey, discovering courage, friendship, and the extraordinary power of being nobody. Their witty camaraderie and emotional impact redefine heroism, showing empathy, perseverance, and humility can exist without the need for recognition, yet extraordinary. Through their bumpy, eventful adventures, you won’t be just entertained, you will cheer and root for them at every twist and turn of their journey.

On the remote Mount Langlang, four nameless little demons — a pig, a toad, a weasel, and a gorilla — live quiet, overlooked lives. Unnoticed by the world, they are neither powerful nor heroic. One day, they embark on a daring journey, mimicking the legendary Tang Monk’s pilgrimage to the West, hoping to gain strength, recognition, and a sense of purpose.

Along the way, they face dangers, encounter evil forces, and are tested in courage and wisdom. In the end, they defeat a formidable enemy, yet lose their magical abilities and return to ordinary animal forms.

Though they do not achieve legendary fame, they earn respect and gratitude from those they helped, proving that even a “nobody” can accomplish extraordinary deeds.

Nobody is too small to make a difference!  Join the four nameless little demons in NOBODY and follow their journey in PH cinemas, February 4!
