很久以前，有一个叫李靖的将军，他的妻子怀孕三年才生下一个男孩。
这个男孩出生时是一个会发光的圆球，大家都觉得奇怪。
神仙太乙真人来到他家，给男孩取名"哪吒"，并送给他两件武器——能喷火的圈和能飞的红布。
哪吒从小就很调皮、好斗。
七岁时去海边玩，用红布搅动海水，弄坏了海底龙王的水晶宫。
龙王的儿子出来骂他，哪吒生气地打死了龙王儿子。
龙王很生气，要用水把整个城市淹了。
哪吒为了不连累父母，决定牺牲自己。
他最后对爸爸妈妈说：现在我把我的骨和肉还给你们。
哪吒死后，太乙真人用莲藕和荷叶给他做了一个新身体，让他复活了。
复活后的哪吒变得更厉害了，但和父亲李靖的关系变得很糟糕。
后来当龙王要伤害百姓时，哪吒放下过去的矛盾，和父亲一起保护大家，最终成为人们心中的小英雄。
