What is All Wishes Come True! about?
All Wishes Come True! reimagines the Chinese folk tale The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea as a mythological comedy. The story follows eight ordinary mortals, beginning with Lü Dongbin and Zhongli Quan, who disguise themselves as immortals in a bid to break into a legendary vault.
Along the way, they recruit six more companions: He Xiangu, Tieguai Li, Han Xiangzi, Cao Guojiu, Lan Caihe, and Zhang Guolao. The group confronts a conspiracy that threatens the balance between the mortal and immortal worlds.
Su Hang, who won a Hong Kong Film Award for The Shadow's Edge, designed the film's action sequences. Chen Hao, whose credits include Ne Zha, directed the voice cast.
Who made the film and why does the release matter?
Pearl Studio, whose credits include Kung Fu Panda 3, Abominable, and Oscar nominee Over the Moon, produced the film alongside CMC Pictures. It is written and directed by Mu Zhengyang and produced by Cao Linlin.

The release comes as Chinese animation continues to build momentum internationally. Ne Zha 2 has taken in upwards of $2.2 billion globally, and the sector's overseas revenue reached $9.3 billion in 2025.
