The Monkey King follows the tale of a prideful monkey on a grand adventure inspired by the famous Chinese fable, Journey to the West. After the Dragon King takes away his enchanted staff, the Monkey King confronts deities and evil spirits to reclaim his valuable possession. Throughout his journey, he realizes that his most significant adversary is his own self-importance and defeating it is solely his responsibility.
The Monkey King is an animated adventure film directed by Anthony Stacchi for Netflix. It is based on the 16th century Chinese tale of Journey to the West.
