Monkey King: Hero is Back
The story of "Monkey King: Hero is Back" is based on the traditional Chinese tale "Journey to the West." The tale is about the journey of a Buddhist monk who travels westwards with his three disciples in search of Buddhist teachings, but the film is about the relationship between the Monkey King and a young monk and the quest for courage and kindness
Over one thousand staff worked on the films for eight years to create the purely homegrown 3D animated feature. "Monkey King: Hero is Back" has pocketed more than 100 million yuan ($16.6 million) in ticket sales in just three days after its opening on July 10.
The film is now playing in theaters.
