Helen Han: 我认为《哪吒2》中父爱的主题非常突出，它展现了哪吒并非凭空出现，而是拥有父母的爱和支持。这种父爱的主题能够引起观众的共鸣，使哪吒这个角色更具亲和力，也更容易被国际观众所接受。 Qu Qiang: 我认为哪吒的故事展现了中国人民不信天命，相信自己的反叛精神，这与中国过去70年的发展历程相符。哪吒象征着中国及其未来的发展方向，中国人民的团结也是取得成就的重要原因。哪吒激励人们不要放弃，要为自己的生活奋斗。每个人对《哪吒》都有自己的理解，这部电影能给人带来欢乐。 Mao Keji: 我认为《哪吒》是一部关于个人发展的电影，与那些从底层努力向上流动的人们产生共鸣。电影中各种妖怪努力成为神，与年轻人努力提升社会地位的愿望产生共鸣。在美国观看《哪吒2》时，电影结束后观众们热烈鼓掌，这表明电影受到了欢迎，观众普遍对电影的电脑特效印象深刻，认为可以媲美好莱坞甚至超越。
