What happens when a feisty, willful, smart alecky, little monkey reluctantly gets assigned a job in the adventure biz? Well come along with him for this is one of the greatest Chinese epic tales of all time.
Sun Wu-Kong, the monkey king, Ba-jie, the forever-hungry pig and Sha Sen, the klutzy carp, all get kicked out of heaven. Now they must earn their way back by accompanying the gentle Monk Tang on an extraordinarily perilous journey to rescue the sacred scrolls and return them to China.
But look out, everyone! Tricksters abound, from the White Skeleton Demon to a vengeful Fan Princess in the Flaming Mountains. This journey unfolds to the graceful beauty of Chinese dance, explosive energy of martial arts and vivid pageantry of Chinese opera. A story filled with wisecracking humor, quick-thinking action and the discovery of inner strengths. So get ready for a marvelous adventure, you won't soon forget.
