The Monkey King is told to go to heaven for taking a great weapon from the Dragon King. He is brought to the Jade Emperor, but in heaven he proclaims himself "Great Sage." This leads to a battle, which leads to a war, which leads to a movie! A fun-filled adventure developed from a Chinese tale, "The Monkey King."! This movie contains wonderful music. The fights scenes are like watching a ballet and the colors throughout are beautiful. There should be an updated version of this movie and then hopefully it can reach a wider audience. When we watched it for the first time, the movie was enjoyed by children ranging in age from 5 to 11. Highly recommended for all ages. (Reviewed by Noah Block, age 7)

Here is another Chinese animated film I loved after watching it online - Uproar in Heaven. Made in 1965 and based on the classic mythological novel Journey to the West, the film covers the mischievous Monkey King's early misadventures from the novel, like rebelling against the Jade Emperor of Heaven. Journey to the West is another classic story that intrigues me, and also got me into literature from other countries. I remember seeing an animated English dubbed TV series of Journey to the West that was made in 1999. In 2002, the series' episodes were edited and made into a OAV (Original Animated Video) movie, called "The Legends of the Monkey King." So after watching Uproar in Heaven, I'd concluded that I love it better then any film adaptation of Journey to the West.Overall I really love this film and I love the character designs in the film especially for the monkeys, they'll so cute!

Saw it twice as a kid and I remember it still. This movie is a wonderful animation from China about the Monkey king and his adventures.The movie consists of several earthly and heavenly adventures as the monkey king tries to (save the world?) or just get along in life (It has been over 20 years...)It just became available for purchasing in Sweden and I am gonna get it...9/10 as I remember it, it may even get 10/10 as a children's movie, but also risk being downgraded (as I said, 20 years) to about 8, but not lower, never...

I saw this movie so long ago that I do not remember it as being subtitled because when I saw it, I couldn't read. The movie was shown in a school theater as a cross cultural event. So I sat through the whole thing even though I couldn't understand what was being said and I still thought it was great.I am still waiting to see it again.
