I Am What I Am 2

I Am What I Am 2 (雄狮少年2, 2024) is a Chinese animated feature you can watch online on iFILM. Director Sun Haipeng brings back the village underdog from the first film.

Gyun leaves home for Shanghai to find work. His father is ill and the treatment costs money, so he agrees to fight for the fading Chuanwu Boxing Gym at the "Shanghai Fight Night" tournament. To last in the ring he has to get past seasoned opponents, the contempt of a big city that treats him as nobody, and his own doubt.

Where the first movie built itself around southern lion dance, the sequel trades the festival floor for the ropes — but keeps the hand-drawn sense of motion, the grit of working-class outskirts and the stubborn loner at its center. It runs past two hours, and the closing bouts are choreographed like real fights. Stream I Am What I Am 2 (2024) online on iFILM.
