The Legends of the Monkey King is an epic tale which recounts the Monkey King‘s quest to find immortality for himself and his disciples. He is accompanied by his disciples, the stupid and funny Pigsy and the honest and brave Sandy.
Monkey King is a rebellious extraordinary being, born out of a rock, blessed by the grace of Heaven. He is extremely smart and capable; and has learnt all the magic tricks which enable him to transform himself into 72 different images such as a tree, a bird, a beast of prey or a bug as small as a mosquito so as to sneak into an enemy‘s belly to fight him inside or out.
As the Monkey King and his disciples venture through the Himalayas, they are faced with several unexpected incidents and dangers. They are up against evil witches, magicians, demons and monsters and they need all the help they can get! It takes teamwork, courage and of course Monkey‘s magical powers to tackle all the difficulties. But just when the brave foursome experiences one thrilling adventure, another one just begins.
