According to legend long ago
there was Monkey King known named Sun Wukong.
Although he had great powers,
he was also great trouble maker.
And when he broke the law of the heavens
Jade Emperor will have no more.
Ignorant monkey, you are breaking my law now you will taste my wrath!
Taste pretty sweet to me. Now you taste it!
What are you waiting for? Capture him.
I will teach you a lesson!
You are lazy!
Use the magical loop.
Release the arrows.
The bigger are, the harder you fall!
I am no ordinary monkey!
Go there where you belong!
The Monkey King defeated the Heavenly Army
he wanted to become a god
but it didn't happen.
But Buddha did not like his defiance against the heavens
and denied him entry.
Ever since that faithful day
Sun Wukong has been imprisoned under the Mountain of Five Elements.
He has been there for 500 years.
That’s right
the Great Sage will keep you safe.
You want this?
There you can have it.
And one day he may return.
It's getting dark,
we should get back on the road. He's right.
It's getting dark... Let's go.
Quickly.
We have to reach before the dawn.
Keep moving. Keep moving.
I saw something here. Are you alright?
It was just a little scare.
Quickly! Alert everyone! Do it fast!
Go back down the mountain!
What is that?
Oh!
Its a baby!
Come here child. Very cute.
Thank you for this blessing.
Oh wow! Very nice!
This is wonderful!
Great Monkey King
who fought before Heavenly Kings.
You have to pay for it, monkey!
Sun Wukong will never die.
You are ruining my show. You naughty kid!
Where are all of you? Come back!
Hey, catch him!
Very nice!
Here comes Sun Wukong!
Wait.
Master, you?
Lieur, what are you doing here?
Begging for alms.
Please give alms.
Thank you for this.
Lieur, I hope you grow up to be a good monk. You will be right?
than you don’t have to be the rest of the people in this world.
I have a question as much as we spend our day
trying to find our way to fill our bellies.
How is that different to anyone else in this world?
Of course its different.
Begging for alms is only the beginning of becoming a great monk.
Silence, sutra, meditation and practicing zen.
Don't ask for much. You will find peace in your heart.
Take a look at me. Am I not doing well?
But the magic trolls keep attacking.
Reciting sutras won't scare them away.
So what would you instead child? I...I...
I would learn kung fu and beat the Trolls. Like this?
Listen, Lieur.
To save the world you don’t have to be a warrior.
By meditating, reciting sutra
becoame great saint and save the world and the socirty.
Don’t forget how the slow turtle won the race.
Always remember, everything is an illusion.
Life is illusion of your desires.
Don’t be quick to fight
and instead you… Recite my sutras as a monk.
Wrong answer! Don't argue!
Its not easy to teach him.
But someday he will be a great monk.
Mountain Trolls are coming! Mountain Trolls! -Archers! Release!
Attack!
Lieur? -Run, run!
Lieur? Lieur? Where are you? Run trolls are coming!
1...2...4...how many?
This one is too old throw him out.
Then we should look for one more girl baby.
One girl baby coming up.
Now look....
Run for you lives!
Lieur , what are you doing up there?
First save yourself.
Master, come fast.
Where am I? Run...run
Hurry, master! Lieur...
Lieur, wait for me!
Master!
Run!
Ahhh...
Troll!! Go from here!!!
Where is that girl?
Give it to me.
Its not her.
You fool!
Run from here!
Lieur?
Can you hear me?
Where are you?
Where did this monkey come from?
Don’t just stand there go get him!
Thanks kid...
I’ve got to get out from here.
I am free!!
You locked me up for five hundred long years. That's not enough for you?
But don’t you forget one thing.
I am the Great Sage!
The Great Sage!
Who's there?
Come on out!
You looking for a fight?
You cannot take care of yourself.
Are you really Sun Wukong the Great Sage?
I don’t know am I really? Might be.
What he really is the Great Monkey King! - No greatness here just a monkey…
Only just a normal monkey.
Stay away from me! -Wait monkey king.
Oh mean that way?
Thank you Master Groundhog!
Monkey King, help me find my way home.
So will you help me find my way home?
I am not good at hide and seek also.
Wait...
That’s ok I can just hangout until I find my way back.
This is gonna be great.
If we gonna travel together you better keep up.
Monkey King...
did you use your powers to do that? -What? But how?
I thought maybe you could teach me some magic skills.
Listen short stuff,
those things are not easy to teach.
Ok then what about an easy trick?
This will be great.
My new teacher Sun Wukong!
The king of the monkeys who can’t be beat.
You are also immortal so you can protect us.
The coolest thing you can do is leap over the clouds.
You can make cloud from your hair by blowing.
What are you doing?
How come nothing happened?
I almost forgot
there was one more thing, do you have power?
And is it true that you can shrink so small to the size of a toothpick?
Well is it true?
Oh I remember you hide in your ear?
Let me see it. Is it in there?
Oh oh I love to hold it. -You need to zip it!
You talk too much! I can’t think as my head is about to explode.
Don't talk too much! Okay?
Okay.
But... -No one more question, ok?
Not a single one. -Okay.
So when can I start asking questions again?
Wooh! Oh so cool!
Hey how did you do that?
Is your hand hurt? Could you teach me how to do that?
Tell me about your greatest battles.
Well there was this one kid who didn’t left me alone.
What did he do? -He did everything.
He never stopped talking. -How do you get all your powers?
I eat magic bananas.
Stop right there Monkey King!
I am the Mountain Lord I was created to make sure you would not escape.
You literally dumb as a box of rocks!
Let me live peacefully and I will not harm you.
Otherwise you'll be sorry.
You may have broken the chains
but that doesn’t mean you are free.
Now you are just an ordinary stinking monkey.
I will crush you!
Where are you running, you coward?
Hey pebbles this will hurt!
This spell brought him to life.
This day is really going bad.
You cannot get away from me.
Stay right here.
Leave my hand...
You are as heavy as you look, boy.
I got it! Look!
Ahhhh....
I suppose you could say mountain lord
has hit rock bottom.
You all be grateful
I still haven’t unleashed the dragon guardian.
You highness its not our fault,
he is no ordinary monkey he is Monkey King.
Since I am sogenerous I will give one last chance.
But this time finish that monkey!!!
Monkey King,
You are here too!
I thought I lost you.
Yes, I remember
Last time we were fighting with Rock monster.
And suddenly I just fell out of the blue. I think I landed in the water
Okay. -I know Monkey KIng saved us!
So he does have powers.
I wanted to say
thank you for saving us.
Take.
No no no I can’t eat that. I am a vegetarian.
You are?
Yeah you see we are monk so we don’t eat meat.
His name is Fa Ming and my is Jiang Lieur.
Shut up!
So if you are from the family of monks
then how do you end up here?
It is because of those horrible Trolls,
they kidnap children!
So we ran and they kept chasing.
We kept running and somehow ended up here.
And now we are lost.
Hey what’s the big deal?
We don’t need to be afraid anymore
cause you are here to protect us.
Ahhh...no...
And who’s gonna protect me from you?
Once we get off this mountain, we'll go our separate ways, okay?
Then how will you teach me?
Be careful you will fall.
I am coming.
Monkey King
Stay there.
I get the taste from up here.
So you like sushi?
Monkey King, I saw somehting there!
Let me live with peace!
Monkey King!
That statue came to life!
I have given the blessing.
Buddha is taking this fish as an offering.
Get back!
The fish is mine now.
You were a Buddha a second ago. You better don’t try anything!
That’s a great sage Sun Wukong.
Great Sage good one
but that chimp doesn’t look like he is great at anything.
He is just an impersonator.
I mean it’s a good impression of Sun Wukong.
You hold this for me.
Salt is less. Put some salt.
I'll prove to you that this Great Sage is nothing but a Great Fake
I'll prove it to you. Watch this will make it spicy!
I will be fun.
I told you to put salt in it!
You stinking fleabag!
You're the reason I came crashing down here
in the first place, stuck in this body!
Last 500 years with this PIG SNOUT on my face!
Yeah it suits you really.
Are you are scared!
That's why yre you running away?
He can’t hear you.
Don’t you comeback.
I forgive you!
Oh wow!
You are really scared of him? -No I’m not.
I am giving him head start just to be fair you know. Do you understand?
He is so far gone I doubt you can really find him now.
What?
No way!
Do you know I have won armies of thousands.
I can transform at anything I want!
And with this nose, I can track that stinky Monkey for miles.
He can’t get away from me. No way!
Really? -Look I will turn myself into a Panther!and hunt down.
Really?
I’m a panther. -Its better than a pig.
Alright let’s go follow that monkey!
This way yeah. -Hold on you are running in the wrong direction!
I feel something. I gotta go.
Hey Monkey King!
He is on the other side.
You found him. He is right there.
Master Sun Wukong, wait.
Let me go I am domestic panther. -We almost lost you. But...
Your friend Pig wants to challenge you!
This is weird he was just here.
It seems he knew you.
Is he friend of yours?
Monkey King, is he really a Buddha?
He is just pretending?
Because he seems like a... -Wait, wait I'll tell you. He looks like a pig.
And I think he learns very fast.
I gotta admit its pretty cool
how he can transform. He can't do it for very long.
only as long as a breath. And then, boom. Back to a pig.
There you are.
Were you behind us all this time?
I thought you ran away.
Come back here by your nose again?
This is so neat its another me. No it's bigger.
That was so cool! Do it again!
It was fun! Do it again!
You guys look!
Get away from there!
Stay back!
Nobody moves!
Stop! I said don’t move!
You did it!
Wooh! You really scared him away!
You realize that was a white dragon!
See one of those and it’s the l ast thing you will ever see!
What you suddenly care about us?
Its your fault!
I’ll show you meddling with dragon!
Don’t pull my ears, they will get bigger. -Stop it let him go!
Let him go? -It's all my fault.
I didn't listen to you! Wait!
I just want to see if he can turn into a bird or not.
But what if he doesn’t?
Its dragon look he’s flying! -If you leave me I can save you from the dragon.
You are holding me then how can I save you?
Wow!!
Dragons can also fly!
Yeah that's pure freedom, soaring through the clouds like that.
Look at that as cool as it gets.
What’s a pig deal I used to fly back in the day.
You know if I was able to fly I will go over that mountain
and take this little one back for my Master.
Someday if you are brave and strong enough you can.
You can find.
And you can go as far as you want.
Are you serious? Is that really possible.
Maybe if you don’t annoy me.
Wait, it means you've done all this?
Have you taken ride on the dragon?
How did you control them? Can you teach me?
Easy, one question at a time. -Just one last time.
Are there many dragons in this world?
Wherever there is water, there are dragons.
Now my tummy will be full!
If we are lucky enough they'll have a kitchen!
Some noodles, cabbage oh nice…
Monkey King, what are you waiting for? Come fast!
Come on don’t let piggy beat you!
Don’t say a word.
Hello...
Oh I do need to visit…
There's no one here.
Is anyone home?
Where should I go?
It looks like an inn.
Why isn’t anyone here?
I...
I am here...
Are those carrots?
What was that?
Hello. We would like to stay in your inn.
We are three of us and a baby.
But you just did. You said…
Oh you are just too cute. I was joking.
He is not that smart.
If I may ask where you and your friends headed?
We are headed to the capital. -What a cute little baby girl.
Hello.
Hurry get the tea.
Now I am afraid that I have some bad news for you.
They have closed the roads to the capital so there is no way you can get there.
They were not carrots! They were chillis!!!!
Oh he is a monster he is a monster! He’s a monster!
Get scared.
Monster!
Its ok don’t be afraid. They are not monsters.
But they are not people. -That doesn’t make them monsters.
I am sure monkeys are monsters. Don't talk too much!
They will not harm you.
We are staying one night and we will leave first thing in the morning.
You promise?
Alright then follow me please.
Thank you.
You want Tea? -Tea...
Its ok.
Don’t make me look stupid.
If you need anything at all don’t hesitate to ask ok.
Sure.
I will leave you alone now.
If you need me I’ll be right outside the door.
Why are you standing here?
Get to work? -What’s wrong with her?
Why is she crying? -Don’t cry.
I got this.
Oh yeah look I have my very own Great Sage too!
Do you like it?
With him to protect you, you don’t need to be afraid of anything.
No one.
Time for bed.
What a maroon.
It's really quiet here.
I am feeling weird.
I won't be able to sleep.
Works better for me.
You snore a lot.
You are right.
Hey Sun Wukong.
you know when I find my master
and we get the little one back to our home,
where will you go?
Huaguo Hill.
Huaguo Hill!
I know that place.
Its in all the stories.
And the story says its green and beautiful
full of trees and flowers and fruits. Its it’s a magical place.
And they also say that peaches there are this long!
You believe everything people say?
Actually, the peaches are big as your head.
Even bigger than this?
Then is it far? How do you get there?
Its thousand miles away.
It take forever.
But the great warrior like you its not that far.
Yeah I could do it in a leap. Then I…
First I used to reach.
Sun Wukong,
you don’t need to worry
you’ll see you will make it home
as long as you always do your best.
If it helps you I’ll pray that you will get all your magic powers back.
Thanks a lot kid.
I doubt that will help.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
I have always been good its now been grounded…
It's of no use.
What are you doing in there?
What is wrong with you?
Oh you were trying to steal the food again weren’t you?
No food until we finish the job.
Hurry up don’t waste my time.
This is no time to be fooling around.
Come with me.
You know there is something I find it strange
why was it necessary to transform us?
It takes energy to look like this.
I find it annoying
I don’t like this look.
Well answer me.
If it was up to me
I’ll go up right now and snatch that kid.
Hey!
Where do you think you are going?
You cannot go up right now. This is really for your own good.
Listen of you ruin this for me
you have to focus or the Evil Lord will have our hides!
Hey what is wrong with you?
It was you!
You will pay for this!
Wow I had the feeling that service here would be terrible.
Go inside!
Now let me take that smile off your face!
Just get in line so you all get ugly.
Sorry I think we need to do some remodelling in here.
I have to make some windows
We'll get fresh air.
You are leaving now, are you?
Taste my kick.
Save the kids!
Hey, don't touch here!
Run!
Let's go!
Run!
Monkey King, come fast!
Looks like we are going sailing.
Come fast!
My bottom is bruning!
You ok?
Monkey King, look.
Leave her alone.
I hope your Great Sage is a great swimmer.
But I hear monkeys don’t like water.
Hasn’t anyone told you its not nice to bite!
Sun Wukong, you are late on the job.
Monkey King,
We have to save the Little One! Come on!
She's not my problem.
No... -Neither are you! I just need to go on my own way!
You can take care of yourself.
No he can’t. You…
You want to be the hero?
Go ahead then!
I didn't ask to be saddled with any of you!
But... you are the protector! The legends say...
fine I will go by myself.
Wait don’t go.
Sun Wukong look go after him! Hello?
He will get lost!
We are hurt badly.
We better hurry or we will miss the sacrifice of the children.
That cursed monkey!
Monkey King,
We have to save the Little One!
Its not my duty.
I don’t want this.
These people are nothing but trouble.
Monkey King...
Look I’ve got my very own Sage too. Do you like it?
He is here to protect you, you don’t need to be frighten to anyone.
Monkey...Monkey? Can you hear?
Come out now!
This is how a Great Sage would act? No.
I know I know you are upset.
Those kids need you.
Sun Wukong my new Master.
King of Monkeys. Who can't be beaten.
You are also immortal so you can protect us.
The coolest thing you can do is leap over clouds.
Hey piggy
we have got kids to save.
Yes!
Today the force unleash
we will finally taste the fruits of our labour.
We seek immortality!
Immortality!
By harnessing the power of the pure souls of 100 children.
My quest for eternal life will ironically come to an end.
I will be unstoppable! And no one can defeat me!
1...2...4
You are such a fool, you lost him.
You lazy!
He is mine.
Think you are the tough guy huh?
You’ll have to do better than that.
Lieur, are you alright?
Master,
Why are you here? -I searched heaven and earth to find you.
When we get you out of here, you have to promise to be a good child form now on!
Don’t worry I promise I’ll eat eveything.
You can’t lie to a monk you know.
Its bad for…
Lieur, I knew you were lying that’s why shouldn’t have lied.
But why I am stuck without reason.
Master, look. -We found all the children.
Why are you just standing around?
Don't know.
Master, are you alright?
You are alright?
Moon is out. Now...
Enough!
Why are you always getting in my way?
Let him go!
How dare you ruin this for me? -How dare you steal little kids?
Where is your Monkey Kind?
Tell me!!!
Monkey King! He’s gonna rescue us!
I can’t believe it it’s the Monkey King!
You are just a stinking monkey!
Listen up

And I'm here for what’s mine. -Me too.
This is my king's order!
And you all
are ging to die very soon!
Now watch out I am coming. -Don't fight him alone!
You are just an ordinary monkey.
Don't get close to the kids.
Great, Monkey King.
Legend says you are immortal.
Time to put that to the test.
Legend says lot of things.
Let’s test them!
Yeah!!!!

I am trying to protect you. Go from here!
But... -Just go!

But then who’s gonna protect you?
No one. Never has. But I’ll be alright
