Production Development In April 2024, the China Film Administration registered the project under the title 八仙之瞒天过海 (The Eight Immortals: Crossing the Sea by Deception). Pearl Studio and CMC Pictures became attached as producers.
Production The film was primarily animated in Chengdu by the company Huameng Chengzhen, in collaboration with Shanghai-based animation studio Pearl Studio, under the guidance of director Mu Zhengyang, as well as Su Hang for action design.
The team said they researched classical texts, folk traditions, and character archetypes, then reworked the story around the period before the Eight Immortals become immortals. Visually, they aimed for a “smoky, folkloric nianhua painting” feel translated through animation. For Penglai they drew on texts such as Xuanzhongji (玄中記) by Guo Pu and the Taiping Guangji collection of stories, and based their artwork on a traditional style of Chinese landscape painting.
The full dubbing was done in the same city of Chengdu, handled by Shengyu Culture, with Chen Hao handling voice direction. He claimed to have worked through the script with the team three times, each session lasting five days, and that the full dubbing plus later revisions took less than two months.
Post-production Post-production and editing were all overseen by Pearl Studio in Chengdu, within the Tianfu Long Island Digital Creative Park.
Music The musical score for All Wishes Come True! was composed by Shen Björn Shen.
The film's soundtrack features several songs, including the theme song 全世界的雨, performed by Zhou Shen and Ella Chen, and the insert song 过海, performed by Wang Heye and Huang Ling.

Story Inspiration The overarching theme is based on the Yuan Dynasty zaju Huang Liang Yi Meng, which tells of a dream that Zhongli Quan gave Lü Dongbin after repeatedly failing the keju imperial exams. Upon waking from the dream and realizing the fleetingness of life, Lu Dongbin decides to follow Zhongli Quan to train to become a Xian. The production team found that throughout their research in all the stories, Zhongli Quan only helped Lu Dongbin find the Dao, but Lü Dongbin helped He Xiangu, Tie Guaili, and countless others to do the same, and used this concept in the film.
Release The first teaser was posted in February 2026 during Chinese New Year, giving a first official theatrical release date of July 24, 2026 for Mainland China, with special screenings in early July.
During the main Chengdu premiere event on July 11, the film began merchandising: the license launch covered non-heritage items, stationery, lifestyle goods, and collectibles, selling them through Taobao, WeChat, Xiaohongshu, and Douyin, as well as over 200 cinemas in Sichuan as offline points of sale.
Reception Box office In July 2026, the total box-office revenue from previews and pre-sales exceeded ¥20 million (US$2.95 million).
