THE MONKEY KING : REBORN

TRAILER

A totally stunning animated feature inspired by a classic of Chinese literature, Journey to the West. The beauty of this film takes my breath away: the attention to details, the exquisite costumes of the many characters, the luscious sceneries. 

As a young buddhist monk, Tang Monk, visits a temple his mischievous companion the Monkey King destroys a magic tree that for centuries had trapped the worst demon of all times, the ancient  PRIMORDIUM!!!!

An epic battle ensues after the evil Primordium kidnaps Tang Monk and Monkey King and his fellow disciples set forth to save their master! 

The movie is relentless with its splendour! Villains and heroes are just superb! Look at the multi-eyed villain on the left, Bright Moon / Multiple-eyes Ghost Master for example. Isn't he just magnificent!

It will soon be available in Blu-ray and DVD format and you will be able to find a version that is dubbed in English. I believe this movie will be a jewel in your entertainment collection.
