I'm astounded by how much plotline they can fit into this runtime. I finish the movie feeling like I just watched an entire season of a tv show, and yet it doesn't feel rushed either. The acts, locations and plotpoints are diverse and unique. A big journey happens, with an ending that I feel went against the basic moral I was expecting to see and pulled an interesting twist.
I love Light Chaser animation and feel like they are a unique source of animated action movies that are thrilling but kid-friendly. I love seeing their quality develop; the animation and modeling/texturing quality of Green Snake has come very far after White Snake.
This movie also has way more diverse characters and character interactions than the first. White Snake felt more like a generic lovestory (which is fine for what it is) whereas Green Snake does more to explore the concepts of interpersonal relationships with a bigger focus on a bond between siblings. I'm a killer for stories that emphasize that platonic relationships are just as powerful as romantic ones and this movie is like a holy grail in that aspect.
The worldbuilding is unique and engaging in of itself and I feel inspired by its mystery and creativity, yet that doesn't overshadow the stories of the characters themselves and the movie remains very character-driven at the same time.
No movie is perfect, but if I were asked to make a suggestion that could improve Green Snake, I'd be hard pressed to think of any. Overall this has become one of my favorite films, and is now something I go to whenever I'm sick in bed and need a comfortable, engaging thing to return to.
